About the Honda Passport
The most rugged addition to the growing family of Honda SUVs and crossovers, the Honda Passport delivers a unique blend of on-road driving refinement and off-road adventure capability in addition to best-in-class interior space. Slotting between the compact CR-V and three-row Pilot, the Honda Passport features a reinforced unibody frame, powerful direct-injected i-VTEC® V6 engine, and fully independent suspension. Tackle the kind of tough terrain normally reserved for less refined body-on-frame or off-road focused SUVs with the standard Honda i-VTM4™ torque-vectoring all-wheel drive and its seven standard drive modes offered on the Passport. To suit the needs of any type of driver, the Passport is offered in three trims: the well-appointed RTL, rugged TrailSport, and the fully equipped TrailSport Elite.
What the Critics Say
What’s New for 2026
Inside and out, the adventurous Honda Passport has undergone an extensive overhaul for the 2026 model year. Its bold exterior redesign is highlighted by new fender flares, new headlights, longer wheelbase, more ground clearance, and a wider rear track. While it retains its signature V6 engine, power has been increased to 285 horsepower and now comes paired to a more advanced 10-speed automatic transmission. You’ll also appreciate its reimagined interior featuring a larger touchscreen display, standard heated seats, and much more.
Honda Passport Features
Rugged Styling
As the most rugged Honda light truck to date, the Passport is infused with bold styling elements which include higher ride height, a matte black grille, and blackout headlights. Off the trails, sophisticated around-town design cues on the Passport include LED headlight accents, gloss black trim, a “floating” C-pillar, and chrome exhaust finishers.
Offering far more than just good looks, you will experience improved functionality from 8.3 inches of additional ground clearance as compared to the previous generation Honda Passport. Longer overall length, shortened rear overhangs, and improved departure and breakover angles help illustrate the enhanced off-road capabilities of the Honda Passport.
Versatile Interior
Featuring a modern yet sophisticated look, the interior of the Honda Passport delivers spacious seating for up to 5 passengers along with outstanding interior dimensions to help everyone stretch out and get comfortable. Standard leather-trimmed upholstery featuring contrast stitching that varies by trim level further contributes to the upscale feel of the interior of the Passport.
Engineered for those living active lifestyles, the Passport has a cavernous cargo capacity with the second-row seats folded flat. Easy-to-clean hard plastic surfaces allow you to carry mountain bikes or a week’s worth of camping equipment with ease. There’s even an underfloor storage compartment that provides 2.5 cubic feet of additional space with available removable and washable bins.
Groundbreaking Technology & Safety
No matter where the journey takes you, the Honda Passport lets you stay connected with a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen system with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ smartphone integration. If you consider yourself an audiophile, Passport TrailSport Elite trims come with a Bose 12-speaker premium audio system that delivers exceptional clarity and depth to your favorite music. There’s even an available 5G LTE in-vehicle Wi-Fi TCU which has the ability to support up to seven devices along with a free 3-year unlimited Google built-in data plan. This system lets you access cloud-based services including maintenance tracking, appointment scheduling, and vehicle location services. Standard on every Passport, you’ll enjoy confidence and peace of mind behind the wheel thanks to the Honda Sensing® suite of advanced safety and driver-assistive technologies.
