2026 Honda Passport Model Review - Delray Beach, FL

What's New for the 2026 Honda Passport?

The Honda Passport has been fully redesigned for the 2026 model year. This midsize SUV returns with a bolder exterior and improved off-road capability. Inside, a much larger display and updated cabin features make the next-generation Passport more compelling than ever.

What Are the 2026 Passport Trims & Features?

Honda offers the all-new 2026 Passport in three main trim families - RTL, TrailSport, and TrailSport Elite - with a handful of purposeful variants tucked into each line. The entry-level RTL is a well-equipped family hauler that pairs a Google-built-in infotainment system on a 12.3-inch touchscreen (with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto) and a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster with creature comforts such as heated front seats and available Wi-Fi hotspot capability. If towing is on your agenda, the RTL Towing keeps the RTL's 285-hp 3.5-liter V-6 and 10-speed automatic while adding a factory Integrated Class III trailer hitch and other tow-focused hardware. Buyers who prefer a darker, sportier look can opt for the RTL Blackout, which swaps in 18-inch black alloy wheels, HPD™ center caps, and black Honda badging without changing the RTL's equipment list.

The adventure-focused TrailSport targets families who need greater off-road chops. It brings rugged upgrades like an off-road-tuned suspension, all-terrain tires, and underbody skid plates to help you tackle rough backcountry. The interior uses easy-clean synthetic leather seating, and TrailSport models come with a standard panoramic sunroof. The TrailSport Blackout pairs those same mechanical upgrades with the blackout appearance package - black alloy wheels, HPD caps, and black badging - for a more aggressive look.

At the top of the line, the TrailSport Elite adds premium comforts and tech: a 12-speaker Bose audio system with subwoofer, heated and ventilated front seats, integrated rear door sunshades, and Honda's multi-view camera system with the TrailWatch feature. If you want those Elite amenities with a stealthier aesthetic, the TrailSport Elite Blackout applies blacked-out styling cues for a premium, more assertive finish.

How Much Horsepower Does the 2026 Passport Have?

The Passport is motivated by a 3.5-liter DOHC V-6 rated at 285 horsepower and paired to a 10-speed automatic transmission. Honda's i-VTM4 torque-vectoring AWD system is standard on the 2026 Passport, and when properly equipped, the model is rated to tow up to 5,000 pounds.

What Safety Features Does the 2026 Passport Include?

Passenger safety remains a priority for the 2026 Passport. Every trim receives an updated suite of Honda Sensing driver-assist technologies, including a Collision Mitigation Brake System with pedestrian detection, a Blind Spot Information System, a Lane-Keeping Assist System, and Adaptive Cruise Control. The available multi-view camera with TrailWatch also helps with low-speed off-road awareness and tight-space maneuvering.
