2026 Honda Passport: Rumors, Leaks, and Early Details on the Upcoming SUV

If you're in the market for a spacious and capable SUV, the 2026 Honda Passport is a prime contender for your needs. This new version is well-equipped for rugged adventures with features and functionality that enhance its capabilities on any terrain. The TrailSport trim is especially appealing to adventurers, though even the base trim is built to turn heads.

Design and Exterior Changes

The 2026 Honda Passport rolls out with a rugged exterior that features a bold boxy design to distinguish it from its predecessor. With an 8.3-inch ground clearance, the Passport is uniquely equipped to tackle off-roading adventures. The boxy shape is both bold and sophisticated. It sits on a wheelbase that's 2.75 inches longer than its predecessor, with wider wheel tracks that sit 13 inches further out on front and 15 inches further in the rear.

Interior Updates and Technology

The interior of the 2026 Passport is larger than its predecessor. You'll enjoy 5.8 additional cubic feet of cargo space for a total of 83.5 cubic feet when the second row is folded. With the second row in place, the Passport's storage is still 2.8 cubic feet larger this year with a total of 44 cubic feet of storage.

You can access your control gauges via a 10.2-inch digital gauge cluster. The infotainment system boasts an upgraded 12.3-inch infotainment screen replacing the 8-inch screen found in the 2025 model. The system includes wireless compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 5G LTE Wi-Fi capability, and integrated Google.

The Honda Sensing suite provides a robust selection of driver assistance technologies. This includes Forward Collision Warning, Active Cruise Control, a Road Departure Mitigation System, and a Collision Mitigation Braking System.

Performance and Off-Road Capabilities

Under the hood, you'll find a 3.5-liter V-6 engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. This setup delivers 285 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. The engine is comparable to the 2025 model but the configuration of the 2026 Passport is expected to provide better handling and responsiveness.

The TrailSport and TrailSport Elite trims enhance the Passport's off-roading capabilities with all-terrain tires, skid plates, red recovery hooks, and an off-road-tuned suspension. In the TrailSport Elite, you'll enjoy the impressive TrailWatch camera system that helps you find the right route through treacherous terrain.

Trim Levels

The 2026 Honda Passport is available in three trim levels: the base model RTL, the TrailSport, and the TrailSport Elite. There are also seven post-production option packages that you can add to further customize your new Passport.
