Bold, Powerful, Adventurous: The 2026 Honda Passport Has Arrived
TrailSport trims, 7 drive modes, and a 5,000-pound towing capacity make this SUV a game-changer for explorers.
Reinventing Rugged: The All-New 2026 Honda Passport
Honda has officially raised the bar for adventure SUVs with its completely reimagined 2026 Passport lineup. Designed under the bold “Born Wild” concept, the latest Passport, including its TrailSport and TrailSport Elite trims, redefines ruggedness with cutting-edge off-road capability, a tech-savvy interior, and a powerful V6 engine—all starting in the mid-$40,000 range.
A Bold New Look for Adventurers
The 2026 Honda Passport doesn’t just look tough; it’s built for action. Sporting a bold “backpack design,” this fourth-generation Passport features wider tracks, flared fenders, and trail-ready 18-inch wheels with massive 31-inch all-terrain tires. The TrailSport trims also flaunt orange powder-coated recovery hooks and robust steel skid plates for serious off-roaders.
The design isn’t just for show. Increased ground clearance and a shorter front overhang enhance the vehicle’s approach angle, making it ideal for rugged terrains. At the rear, hidden exhaust tips and a matte-black roof section add both style and functionality.
Performance That Delivers
Under the hood, a more powerful 3.5-liter DOHC V6 engine generates 285 horsepower, paired with a refined 10-speed automatic transmission. The Passport’s upgraded i-VTM4™ all-wheel drive system offers 40% more torque capacity and 30% faster response for optimized traction in any scenario.
Seven drive modes—including Trail and Tow—cater to diverse adventures, while Hill Descent Control provides stability on steep, slippery slopes. The Passport also boasts a 5,000-pound towing capacity, ideal for hauling boats or camper trailers.
Off-Road Confidence with TrailSport
For off-road enthusiasts, the Passport TrailSport trims are a dream. These models feature suspension specifically tuned for rough terrains, durable General Grabber tires, and a TrailWatch™ camera system for precise navigation through tricky obstacles.
Honda even collaborated with experts at the Nevada Automotive Test Center to develop a proprietary off-road capability rating system, ensuring the Passport TrailSport lives up to its promises.
Adventure-Ready Interior
Inside, the Passport offers a spacious, thoughtfully designed cabin with adventure in mind. Tech upgrades include a 10.2-inch digital instrument panel and a 12.3-inch touchscreen with Google built-in, wireless Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto compatibility.
Exclusive TrailSport touches—like synthetic leather upholstery with orange stitching and a panoramic sunroof—make the space both stylish and durable.
The Passport also boasts the most cargo room in its history, with up to 83.5 cubic feet of storage, including clever features like an underfloor compartment and a foldable picnic table finished with a Baja topographic map design.
Safety That Leads the Class
Honda’s “Safety for Everyone” philosophy shines in the 2026 Passport. The midsize SUV comes standard with Honda Sensing® technologies, including a wide-angle radar and camera system for better object detection.
Eight airbags and cutting-edge design features, such as next-gen front passenger airbags, ensure passengers are well-protected.
Accessories for Every Adventure
With the broadest range of Honda accessories yet, owners can customize their Passport for any journey. From rock sliders and MOLLE storage systems to an aluminum front scuff plate, these add-ons blend functionality with rugged aesthetics.
