About the Honda Passport

Searching for a blend of on-road sophistication and go-anywhere performance capabilities? Meet the Honda Passport, a rugged and athletic alternative to a conventional SUV that’s ready to help you get out and explore. Its versatile interior dimensions result in a comfortable yet adaptable cabin for both drivers and passengers to enjoy. Located between the popular CR-V and three-row Pilot, the Honda Passport is equipped with a number of exceptional performance features that elevate it above its competitors. Highlights include its potent direct-injection i-VTEC® V6 engine, reinforced unibody frame, and fully independent suspension design. Regardless of the terrain that stands between you and your destination, the cutting-edge Honda i-VTM4™ torque-vectoring all-wheel drive system and its seven standard drive modes will help you get there with confidence. Drivers will have their choice of the nicely-equipped RTL, rugged TrailSport, and the fully equipped TrailSport Elite when shopping for their Honda Passport.

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

A major refresh for the Honda Passport makes the 2026 model year especially exciting for SUV shoppers. Perhaps the most noteworthy aspect of this update is the redesigned exterior of the Passport. Key aspects of the redesign include a wider rear track, additional ground clearance, a longer wheelbase, new headlights, and new fender flares for a more aggressive look. Performance updates include a more powerful 285-horsepower V6 engine, more responsive 10-speed automatic transmission, and larger brakes for greater stopping power. Last but not least, its premium cabin benefits from new materials, standard heated seats, and a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen display infotainment system.

Honda Passport Features

Honda Passport Exterior

Rugged Styling

Easily identifiable as a proven off-road vehicle, the Honda Passport stands out with its raised ride height, matte-black grille, blacked-out headlamps, and available 20-inch alloy wheels. Once you return from your journey, the Passport remains at home on city streets with sophisticated exterior cues like chrome exhaust tips, LED headlight accents, gloss black trim, and a signature “floating” C-pillar. More than just a pretty face, the Passport also demands respect with its 8.3 inches of additional ground clearance as compared to the previous generation Honda Passport. Its standard all-wheel drive system and 285-horsepower 3.5-liter direct-injected V6 engine make it a formidable force when it comes to off-roading. Shorter rear overhangs along with superior departure and breakover angles further demonstrate the exceptional off-road abilities of the Honda Passport.

Honda Passport Interior

Versatile Interior

Featuring a contemporary yet functional look, the interior of the Honda Passport impresses with cavernous seating for up to 5 passengers. Included as standard, its leather-trimmed upholstery features color-contrast stitching accents that vary depending on trim level selected. Thanks to a massive cargo capacity with the second-row seats folded flat, the Passport is the ultimate choice for drivers living active lifestyles. Messy gear like camping equipment or mountain bikes are no match for the durable and easy-to-clean hard plastic surfaces found on the seatbacks of the Passport. Better still, a unique underfloor storage compartment adds an extra 2.5 cubic feet of cargo room in addition to removable and washable bins.
