About the Honda Passport
The Honda Passport is a mid-size crossover SUV that was reintroduced in 2019 after a 17-year hiatus. It is positioned between the smaller Honda CR-V and the larger Honda Pilot in Honda's SUV lineup. The Passport is designed for both on-road and light off-road use, with features like available all-wheel drive and increased ground clearance compared to the CR-V.
Manufacturing Location
The Honda Passport is assembled at Honda's manufacturing facility in Lincoln, Alabama. This plant has been producing Honda vehicles for the U.S. market since 2001 and currently manufactures several other Honda models including the Pilot, Odyssey, and Ridgeline. The Passport is one of Honda's "made in America" vehicles, with a significant portion of its parts also sourced from suppliers in the United States.
Benefits of U.S. Manufacturing
Honda's decision to manufacture the Passport in the United States provides several benefits:
- Shorter supply chains and faster delivery times for U.S. customers
- Support for American jobs and the local economy around the Alabama manufacturing plant
- Reduced transportation costs and emissions compared to importing vehicles from overseas
- Ability to quickly respond to changes in U.S. consumer demand
These factors help Honda remain competitive in the SUV market and provide American buyers with a high-quality, domestically-produced vehicle option.
