Honda's Passport TrailSport Surpasses Sales Expectations
Honda's 2025 sales figures reveal a surprising trend: the Passport TrailSport model has outperformed expectations, with 80 percent of buyers opting for this rugged variant. This success story comes as a pleasant shock to the company, especially considering the CR-V's dominance in the Honda lineup.
In 2025, Honda sold over 1.4 million vehicles in the US, a modest 0.5% increase from 2024. The CR-V remained the top-selling model, but the Passport's TrailSport model has been a game-changer. With 55,231 units sold, the Passport's sales have skyrocketed by 70% compared to 2024, largely attributed to the TrailSport's appeal.
Honda's Vice President of Automobile Sales, Lance Woelfer, expressed surprise, stating, 'The number is a little bit higher than we anticipated.' This achievement is even more remarkable when considering the CR-V's continued success, which sold a record 403,768 units in 2025.
