How Has the 2026 Passport Been Designed?

Built right here in the U.S. and designed at Honda's Los Angeles studio, the all-new 2026 Honda Passport and Passport TrailSport are bold, brawny, and fully reimagined with a "Born Wild" spirit. This rugged redesign isn't just for looks—it's meant to inspire real adventure, from the dirt trails to the daily drive. With its broad-shouldered stance, strong roof rails, and a clever new "backpack" design theme, the Passport blends form and function in a way that's ready for anything. The matte black rear roof section isn't just stylish—it's practical too, built to handle skis, fishing rods, and all the gear you throw at it without taking a scratch. Up front, a long hood, aggressive scoop, and bold new grille set the tone, with TrailSport models adding amber LED lighting for a tougher, more distinctive edge. Flared fenders, 18-inch wheels wrapped in 31-inch tires, and wider tracks give it serious off-road swagger, while improved approach and departure angles make sure it backs that look up on the trail. Whether you're climbing rocky paths or just parking downtown, the 2026 Passport stands tall—literally, thanks to increased ground clearance and tucked-away exhaust tips that are protected from trail damage.

How Much Fun Is the Passport to Drive?

The 2026 Honda Passport isn't just rugged in looks—it's more exciting to drive than ever before, both on the pavement and off the beaten path. Built on Honda's exceptionally rigid light truck platform, it delivers improved ride comfort and sharper handling thanks to a 72% increase in front lateral rigidity and a 50% boost in rear torsional rigidity. Its wheelbase has been stretched to 113.6 inches for greater straight-line stability, and wider tracks give it a more planted, confident feel in the corners. Power comes from a new 3.5-liter DOHC V6 engine that pumps out 285 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque—making it one of the most capable engines in its class—paired with a smooth, responsive 10-speed automatic transmission and standard paddle shifters for more control behind the wheel. Every Passport now comes standard with Honda's second-generation i-VTM4 torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive system, which reacts 30% faster and can send up to 70% of the engine's torque to the rear axle—and 100% of that torque to either rear wheel—making it a beast in snow, mud, or sand. With seven selectable drive modes, including a new Trail mode for off-roading and a Tow mode for hauling, the 2026 Passport is as versatile and adventure-ready as they come.

How Much Tech and Features Does the Passport Have?

The 2026 Honda Passport lineup kicks off with the well-equipped RTL, offering more space, comfort, and tech than ever. Rear legroom has grown by 1.3 inches, cargo space now tops out at 104.6 cubic feet, and inside you'll find a 10.2-inch digital driver display and a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen with Google built-in, wireless Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. New heated power front seats with memory, leather-trimmed upholstery, and expanded cabin storage—including room for a tablet and ten cupholders—make the RTL perfect for everyday driving or weekend getaways. You can add a Tow Package for extra capability or opt for the bold Blackout Package. The TrailSport trim features rugged upgrades, including easy-clean synthetic leather, orange contrast stitching, a Panoramic Moonroof, a heated windshield, and all-season floor mats. For even more comfort and tech, TrailSport Elite adds ventilated leather-trimmed seats, a heated steering wheel, rear climate control, ambient lighting, and a premium 12-speaker Bose sound system. Both TrailSport models are trail-ready, featuring unique off-road-tuned suspension, beefy all-terrain General Grabber tires, and thick steel skid plates that are tough enough to handle rough terrain. New orange recovery points, a standard trailer hitch with a 7-pin connector, and trail-tuned wheels with protected valve stems round out the Passport's serious off-road hardware. TrailSport Elite also features the new TrailWatch camera system, which provides four angles and tire placement graphics to help navigate tricky terrain. With bold styling, available blackout accents, and exclusive new colors like Sunset Orange and Ash Green Metallic, the 2026 Passport is built for drivers who want comfort, capability, and adventure all in one.
