What the Critics Say
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
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.
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.
Groundbreaking Safety & Technology
No matter how far into the wilderness you tread, the Honda Passport offers outstanding connectivity features highlighted by a 12.3-inch touchscreen system with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ smartphone integration. Providing the perfect soundtrack for your adventure is an optional 540-watt 10-speaker premium audio system, included as standard on Black Edition grades. You can also take advantage of a 5G LTE in-vehicle Wi-Fi TCU that adds connectivity for up to 7 devices in addition to a complimentary 3-year unlimited Google built-in data plan. This advanced 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, is always standing by to help you react to the unexpected on the roadways.
