The 2026 Passport’s updated design is a testament to its adventurous spirit, with a rugged and purposeful look without sacrificing refinement. It’s wider by an inch, with aggressively flared fenders and trail-ready 18-inch wheels with 31-inch tires that command attention on and off the trail. Honda has incorporated an ingenious and practical “backpack” design theme that allows owners to lean skis, fishing rods, and other outdoor gear against the vehicle without risk of damage. Those who plan to take the ’26 Passport off the pavement will appreciate the increased ground clearance as well as the shorter front overhang that increases its approach angle. Redesigned taillights and a sporty roof spoiler add to its dynamic appearance.
The TrailSport trims introduce a game-changing feature: powder-coated front and rear recovery hooks that resist corrosion and are engineered to break away safely in the event of a forward collision. These hooks, along with rear recovery points built into the trailer hitch, protect the bumper during off-road adventures. New General Grabber all-terrain tires boost the TrailSport’s traversing capability for reliable performance over rocky terrain and in sand, mud, and snow.
The 2026 Passport shows off a thoughtfully designed cabin that prioritizes comfort and practicality. A clean, minimalist layout combines with high-quality materials combine to create a stress-free atmosphere, while new Body Stabilizing heated front seats with position memory add a premium touch. Honda has also increased the second-row legroom by 1.3 inches so that passengers can stretch out more comfortably on road trips.
There are some trim-specific details that add to the new Passport’s appeal. For example, the TrailSport gets durable synthetic leather upholstery, exclusive orange accent stitching, a sliding panoramic sunroof, and all-season floor mats, while the first-ever TrailSport Elite adds luxury touches like perforated leather upholstery with piping, ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and a brand-new Bose audio system with 12 speakers.
The ‘26 Passport also offers the most cargo space in its history, with up to 83.5 cubic feet behind the first row and 44 cu. ft. behind the second. An enlarged underfloor storage bin and clever storage solutions, such as two-tier door bins and a large console bin that can fit a full-sized tablet.
The 2026 Passport’s advanced tech suite improves both connectivity and convenience. Highlights include a 10.2-inch configurable digital gauge cluster (with readouts for roll, pitch, and elevation in the TrailSport and TrailSport Elite), a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen (with Google built-in, wireless Android Auto, wireless Apple CarPlay, and a 5G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot), and a 15-watt wireless phone charger. The two TrailSport trims will also get two 110-volt power outlets: one in the center console and one in the cargo area.
Under the hood, the 2026 Passport will receive an updated 3.5-liter V6 engine paired with a refined 10-speed automatic transmission. Producing 285 horsepower and 262 lb.-ft. of torque, this robust powerplant is ready for towing (up to 5,000 pounds), off-roading, and – of course – everyday highway cruising. Honda’s second-generation Intelligent Variable Torque Management (i-VTM4) all-wheel-drive system supplies exceptional traction and stability, while seven standard drive modes – Normal, Sport, Econ, Snow, Sand, Tow, and Trail – help you adapt to varying terrain.
Built on Honda’s durable light-truck platform, the ’26 Passport will have a re-tuned suspension with updated front MacPherson struts and a new rear multi-link setup. Combined with a revised variable steering ratio, these updates are expected to improve the overall ride quality and handling precision.
Safety has always been a priority for this automaker, and the 2026 Passport is no different. It will be equipped with the latest Honda Sensing suite, which includes adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow, lane-keeping assist, traffic jam assist, and traffic sign recognition. The blind-spot information system now incorporates extended radar range, as well as upgraded cameras with a wider field of view to improve object recognition. Plus, hill descent control has been made a standard feature across all trims.
Exclusive to the TrailSport Elite is the comprehensive TrailWatch camera system, which uses four exterior cameras to provide a 360-degree view, enhancing off-road navigation. Passive safety is equally robust, with eight standard airbags, including Honda’s award-winning front passenger airbag.
