2026 Honda Passport TrailSport Preview
2026 Honda Passport TrailSport Preview

The new Passport TrailSport is the most off-road capable Honda SUV ever, with standard rugged features, including off-road tuned suspension, expanded all-wheel drive system capabilities, robust steel skid plates, bright orange heavy-duty recovery hooks, specially engineered all-terrain tires and more to get weekend adventurers even farther down the trail or up the mountain.

The Ohio-based Passport development team started with the grand concept of ""Born Wild"", an aspirational value, that set the rugged attitude and adventure capabilities Passport delivers.

Designed in California, Passport is brawny and broad shouldered, with an all-new look that enhances its superior rugged capabilities.

Its new bold backpack design theme gives the new Passport a more robust C-pillar, stronger roof rails connecting to its blacked-out cargo bay with segment-leading functionality.

For serious off-roading, Passport has increased ground clearance and a substantially shorter front overhang that provides an increased approach angle.

At the rear, hidden exhaust tips are protected on the trail.

Passport's new front end is strong and powerful with a bold grille, long hood and aggressive hood scoop.

A new LED DRL signature includes distinctive amber lighting for TrailSport models.

The design is tough and aspirational with an increased dash-to-axle ratio, and ""PASSPORT"" proudly stamped both in the front fascia and in the steel tailgate.

Flared fenders, wider tracks and 18-inch wheels with 31-inch tires on all Passports accentuate its powerful stance.

Every 2026 Passport features a new more powerful 285 hp (SAE net @ 6,100 rpm) DOHC 3.5-liter V6 engine, paired with the model's first 10-speed automatic transmission.

Refined and responsive, the new high-strength automatic transmission has been tuned exclusively for Passport.

This is also the first Passport to get the second generation of the Honda torque vectoring i-VTM4™ all-wheel drive system, which features a stronger rear drive unit with 40% more torque capacity and 30% faster response, optimizing traction in all driving scenarios, especially slick and off-road conditions.

The new Passport interior is also adventure ready with improved rear seat legroom, increased cargo space and more standard tech than ever before, including a 10.2-inch digital driver instrumentation display, and a 54% larger touchscreen (12.3-inch) plus Google built-in, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto™ compatibility all standard.

New front Body Stabilizing Seats help reduce fatigue on long adventure drives for best-in-class comfort.
