Read the full review The new fourth-generation Honda Passport arrives with a more rugged design and a host of desirable features. The TrailSport trims are enhanced with all-terrain tires, steel skid plates, and other unique hardware. Every Passport is bigger and boxier than before, but only the TrailSport has amber daytime running lights and orange front tow hooks. The Passport's all-wheel-drive system can route up to 70 percent of the engine's torque to the rear axle, with up to 100 percent of that torque directed to the rear wheel with traction. The TrailSport's exclusive equipment includes all-terrain tires and 18-inch wheels with a sunken valve stem and recessed rim to help protect it from damage. The Passport has a 285-hp 3.5-liter V-6 that pairs with a new 10-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive. The engine sounds better than a turbo four, and the automatic provided unobtrusive shifts. Thanks to its specially tuned suspension, the TrailSport feels nimble when crawling over off-road obstacles yet remains steady and easy to control on paved roads. The EPA estimates the entry-level Passport RTL at 21 mpg combined, but the TrailSport trims are heavier and have all-terrain tires that drop their combined fuel economy to 20 mpg. Along with roof rails and a bevy of driver assists, the Passport features a matte black section on its rear roof that prevents scratches when objects are leaned up against it. The 2026 Honda Passport lineup is currently on sale, with the entry-level RTL model starting at $46,200 and the top-of-the-line TrailSport Elite starting at $53,900.

Read the full review For its fourth generation, the Honda Passport is bigger than before, including more interior and cargo space along with a redesigned cabin. The Passport's interior isn't exactly stylish, but it prioritizes practicality with its numerous storage compartments and physical buttons and knobs. The regular TrailSport model offers an attractive fabric trim on its dash and doors that extends to the seats, which have a synthetic leather material that's easy to clean.

Every Passport comes standard with a customizable digital gauge cluster and a 12.3-inch touchscreen with Google built-in software, plus wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Thanks to a wheelbase that's been stretched from 110.9 to 113.6 inches, the Passport has more interior space, with second-row riders getting an extra 1.3 inches of legroom. The cargo area now offers up to 84 cubic feet of space with the back row stowed; with the rears seats up, there's 44 cubes (three more than before). The entire 2026 Honda Passport lineup is now on sale. While the top-of-the-line TrailSport Elite starts at $53,900, the least expensive RTL trim starts at $46,200.

2026 Honda Passport Muscles Its Way Into Dealerships With A Starting MSRP Of $46,200
The 2026 Honda Passport TrailSport is rock-climbing its way to dealers this week and, with an MRSP of $49,900, the off-roader trim turns this formerly mild-mannered grocery-getter into a vehicle fit for the wilderness. The base 2026 Passport starts at $46,200 including destination, a couple grand more than the outgoing model. The original Passport was a body-on-frame SUV that was basically a Isuzu Rodeo with an H on the front, and the nameplate was brought back in 2019 as a unibody job sharing a platform with the Pilot. This configuration made it a family-friendly hauler, but Honda fans missed the rugged and capable vehicle of the rip-roaring '90s. Honda stuck a off-road-oriented TrailSport trim on to the current Passport, but it's not really up to the task of carving its own path. Well, distraught Honda heads rejoice! The fully redesigned Passport is hitting dealer lots Tuesday, and it not only does it look like the best car from Honda in a while, its upgraded TrailSport trim looks like it might just live up to the off-road bona fides. The crossover is brand new from the ground up, starting with a new engine. Honda stuck an aluminum 24-valve DOHC 3.5-liter V6 engine into the Passport, for a slight boost to 285 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. Every Passport gets Honda's i-VTM4 all-wheel drive system, and a 10-speed automatic transmission over last year's 9-speed. The 2026 Passport comes in three trims — RTL, Trailsport and TrailSport Elite — with a few optional packages you can throw in there. You get a bigger 12.3-inch center touchscreen starting with the baseline RTL (of course) and slightly more legroom in back than the last generation. There's heated seats and tons of places to stash your stuff, including those all important 10 cupholders designed to take 32-ounce bottles. A new tow package is available for an extra $700, or you could spend a little more to look a little cooler go with the Blackout Package for $1,200. Every Passport, regardless of trims, comes with a huge suite of driver assistance systems. But it's clear this new Passport was designed with off-roading first and foremost in mind. The TrailSport is where things really get interesting, with reinforced steel skid plates, off-road tuned suspension, front and rear recovery points and specially developed all-terrain tires with sunken valve systems just for the TrailSport trims. A heated windshield is standard (fancy) as well as a heated steering wheel. If you're really serious about getting down and dirty with your Passport, the TrailSport Elite trim is the way to go. It gives you Honda's new TrailWatch camera system standard, offering four views to help drivers navigate rough terrain and animations showing drivers exactly where their tires are. The TrailSport Elite trim also gets you a really dope stereo with 12-speaker Bose premium, so you can rock out while driving on rocks. Both trims come with an off-roader's favorite thing: plenty of branded accessories. The 2026 Honda Passport RTL starts at $46,200 including the $1,450 destination charge, $2,350 more than the outgoing 2025 Passport EX-L. The Passport TrailSport sees a slight bump from $46,450 to $49,900 for the new generation, but it seems worth the cost considering the upgrades turned it into a vehicle you can actually off road. If you absolutely need the fanciest trimmings,the TrailSport Elite will set you back $53,900. For the latest news, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Now we know: The 2026 Honda Passport starts at just over $46K, but the top-of-the-line trim can crest $55K.

The higher-spec TrailSport Elite starts at $53,900, and that extra $4000 adds a 12-speaker Bose stereo, passive entry, leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, and a standard off-road-oriented camera system called TrailWatch. Both TrailSports can be outfitted with a $1200 Blackout package that adds dark badges and unique black 18-inch wheels. That kit pushes the TrailSport and TrailSport Elite's prices to $51,100 and $55,100, respectively. For those who want to skip the TrailSport treatment, the Passport lineup includes a regular RTL trim, which is new for 2026 and replaces the previous EX-L. Starting at $42,600, the RTL's base price is $2350 higher than before, but it benefits from all the improvements to the new Passport. It comes standard with heated front seats and more cupholders than you'll know what to do with, not to mention a 10.2-inch digital gauge cluster and a 12.3-inch touchscreen. The latter features Google software as well as wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. For an extra $700, the Passport's new tow package adds a receiver with recovery points.

The engine pairs with a new 10-speed automatic transmission and a torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive system. The RTL earns an EPA-estimated 21 mpg combined, which matches the outgoing Passport. While the new generation gets the same 19 mpg in the city, its highway estimate rises by one to 25 mpg. Meanwhile, the TrailSport models see all three estimates drop to 20/18/24 mpg combined/city/highway. And the entire 2026 Honda Passport lineup is arriving at dealerships as we speak.
