About the Honda Passport

The most rugged member of the growing lineup of Honda SUVs and crossovers, the Honda Passport gives drivers a distinctive blend of on-road driving refinement and impressive off-road capabilities to help them get out and chase adventure. Best-in-class interior room creates the perfect environment for you and your passengers. Located between the compact CR-V and the three-row Pilot, the Honda Passport offers a reinforced unibody frame, muscular direct-injection i-VTEC® V6 engine, and a fully independent suspension. Even the most rugged terrain is no match for the Passport thanks to Honda i-VTM4™ torque-vectoring all-wheel drive and its seven standard drive modes. The Honda Passport is available in three trim levels: the well-appointed RTL, rugged TrailSport, and the fully equipped TrailSport Elite.

Honda Passport Exterior

What the Critics Say

❝We came away from a day driving a pre-production Passport TrailSport with generally good vibes, especially considering the previous version of this model wasn't especially suited for going beyond pavement (mild tires, no underbody protection). The new model delivered a smooth ride, both on-road and off-road at moderate speeds." - Car and Driver

❝The rugged appearance is a welcome nod to Honda products of yore, from the beloved Element to the first-gen Passport, a badge-engineered Isuzu Rodeo. The entire package looks better than the previous Passport and brings it more in line with the redesigned Pilot; no longer do both look like glorified minivans." - Edmunds

What’s New for 2026

From the exterior to the interior, the Honda Passport has received an extensive redesign for the 2026 model year. Perhaps the most noticeable is the refreshed exterior look of the Passport. You’ll spot key differences like a wider rear track, additional ground clearance, a longer wheelbase, new headlights, and new fender flares for a more aggressive look. In terms of power, its proven V6 engine is back with a 5-horsepower increase to 285 along with larger brake calipers and a new 10-speed automatic transmission. Interior enhancements are highlighted by improved materials, standard heated front seats, and a larger touchscreen display for 2026.

Honda Passport Features

Honda Passport Styling

Confident Styling

Featuring the most rugged design of a Honda late model light truck to date, the Passport captures the attention of bystanders with unique features that include a matte black grille, blackout headlight accents, and an elevated ride height. Equally as comfortable on city streets, the Passport stands out with its chrome exhaust tips, LED headlight accents, gloss black exterior trim, and a signature "floating" C-pillar.

In addition to its bold exterior, the Passport offers expanded capability with 8.3 inches of additional ground clearance as compared to the previous generation Honda Passport. Enhanced departure and breakover angles, reduced rear overhangs, and a longer overall length help display the impressive off-road capabilities of the Honda Passport.

Adventure-Ready Interior

Equally as comfortable as it is practical, the cabin of the Honda Passport delivers plenty of space for up to 5 passengers and outstanding interior dimensions to help everyone stretch out and get comfortable. Standard leather upholstery includes striking contrast stitching that varies by trim level for another eye-catching accent inside the interior.

Perfectly suited to those living active lifestyles, the Passport features a massive cargo capacity with the second row of seats folded flat. You'll never have to worry about the mess that comes from carrying mountain bikes or camping equipment thanks to easy-to-clean hard plastic surfaces found on the seatbacks. You'll also have an optional underfloor storage compartment which adds 2.5 cubic feet of extra space along with removable and washable bins.
