Meridian Honda welcomes new Pilot, Passport models to showroom
The 2019 Passport and 2020 Pilot are more than ready to take on their newest and toughest rivals.
MERIDIAN, Miss., Sept. 16, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Honda crossover SUVs routinely rank among the more capable and driver-friendly vehicles in the highly competitive segment of the automotive industry. The arrival of the 2019 Honda Passport and the 2020 Honda Pilot give customers plenty of options for their next, or first crossover SUV purchase. While the Passport and Pilot have a lot to offer potential owners, there are still plenty of rivals out there that will be vying for the attention of Meridian Honda customers. Both models have arrived at the Meridian Honda showroom and both can be taken for test drives as soon as the customer is ready.
The 2019 Honda Passport is the automaker's latest two-row crossover SUV to hit the market. To be sure there are a lot of other models that have come before the 2019 Passport, but not many will be able to match its peak performance output numbers.
The 2019 Passport has four trim grades for shoppers to choose from, Sport, EX-L, Touring and Elite. All of them are equipped with a 3.5-liter, V-6 engine that is attached to a nine-speed automatic transmission. One of the chief rivals that have emerged for the Passport comes with a naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine that makes fewer than 200 horsepower.
When it comes to being able to easily move lots of people and cargo, the 2020 Honda Pilot is ready to serve its owners. However, the release of a new competitor has caused Honda to take notice. For the 2020 model year, the Pilot introduces a new Black Edition trim that slots above the previous top of the line model Elite. Meridian Honda customers will still be able to choose from the LX, EX, EX-L, EX-L Navi/RES and Touring versions.
The new competitor for the 2020 Honda Pilot does make slightly more power, both can tow up 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. Additionally, both the 2020 Pilot and its new rival can accommodate up to eight passengers. Although the 2020 Pilot was praised by independent reviews for having more small-item storage compartments.
