About the Honda Passport
Featuring a unique mix of off-road capabilities and on-road poise, the rugged Honda Passport is a true do-it-all SUV that’s ready to help you create memories that will last a lifetime. Along with its eye-catching exterior look, buyers will enjoy expanded interior dimensions across both the first and second rows of seating for maximum comfort. Positioned between the popular CR-V and the three-row Pilot, the Honda Passport stands out with a variety of key performance features that help showcase its strengths. Examples include its muscular direct-injection i-VTEC® V6 engine, reinforced unibody frame, and fully independent suspension layout. Even the most challenging terrain won’t stand between you and your weekend plans thanks to the innovative Honda i-VTM4™ torque-vectoring all-wheel drive system and its seven standard drive modes. Individual trim level choices include the nicely-equipped RTL, rugged TrailSport, and the fully equipped TrailSport Elite when shopping for your Honda Passport.
What the Critics Say
What’s New for 2026
A clean-sheet redesign has resulted in a significantly improved Honda Passport for the 2026 model year. You’ll instantly notice its updated exterior look featuring a wider rear track, additional ground clearance, a longer wheelbase, new headlights, and new fender flares for a more aggressive appearance. There’s also a more powerful 285-horsepower V6 engine, more sophisticated 10-speed automatic transmission, and enlarged brakes for greater confidence. Finally, its revised interior features more upscale materials, standard heated front seats, and a larger 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen.
Honda Passport Features
Rugged Styling
Purposefully designed as a dedicated off-road SUV, the Honda Passport proudly sports aggressive design cues including an elevated ride height, matte-black grille, blacked-out headlamps, and available 20-inch alloy wheels. After you’re back from your adventure, the Passport is perfectly at home on paved roads thanks to upscale exterior features like chrome exhaust tips, LED headlight accents, gloss black trim, and a signature “floating” C-pillar. An additional 8.3 inches of ground clearance compared to the prior model further demonstrates the capability of the Passport. Its standard all-wheel drive system and 285-horsepower 3.5-liter direct-injected V6 engine make it the perfect tool for off-roading. Shorter rear overhangs along with superior departure and breakover angles further showcase the outstanding off-road abilities of the Honda Passport.
Versatile Interior
Equal parts modern yet ergonomic, the cabin of the Honda Passport stands out with generous room for up to 5 occupants. Standard features include leather-trimmed upholstery that features color-contrast stitching accents that vary depending on the trim level you choose. Also boasting an impressive cargo area when the second-row seats are lowered, the Passport remains an excellent option for those who are always on the go. Dirty camping equipment our mud-packed mountain bike tires are no problem to deal with thanks to the durable and easy-to-clean hard plastic surfaces found on the seatbacks of the Passport. Even better, a clever underfloor storage compartment adds an extra 2.5 cubic feet of cargo room along with removable and washable bins.
Groundbreaking Technology & Safety
No matter how deep into the great outdoors you plan to explore, the Honda Passport has the connectivity you need to make the most of the day. Highlights include a 12.3-inch touchscreen system with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ smartphone integration. Standard on Black Edition trims is the dynamic 540-watt 10-speaker premium audio system that’s perfect for listening to your favorite tunes. You can also take advantage of a 5G LTE in-vehicle Wi-Fi TCU that adds connectivity for up to 7 devices along with a complimentary 3-year unlimited Google built-in data plan. This impressive system also provides access to HondaLink® cloud-based services including maintenance tracking, appointment scheduling, and vehicle location services. Standard Honda Sensing, a collection of advanced safety features, acts as another layer of protection from the unexpected inside the Honda Passport.
