2026 Honda Passport Model Review - Fort Worth, TX

What's New for the 2026 Honda Passport?

The 2026 Honda Passport arrives with a complete redesign. This midsize SUV shows a bolder face and sharpened off-road capability, while an enhanced interior - highlighted by a much larger screen - brings the cabin up to date.

What Are the 2026 Passport Trims & Features?

Honda splits the 2026 Passport into three core trim families - RTL, TrailSport, and TrailSport Elite - and offers a few targeted variants within each group. The base RTL is a capable family SUV 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 comforts like heated front seats and available Wi-Fi hotspot. The RTL Towing package retains the RTL's 285-hp 3.5-liter V-6 and 10-speed automatic while adding a factory Integrated Class III trailer hitch and towing enhancements. For a sportier appearance, the RTL Blackout dresses the RTL with 18-inch black alloy wheels, HPD™ center caps, and black Honda badging without altering the trim's core features.

The TrailSport is designed for buyers who want genuine off-road capability. It adds off-road-tuned suspension, all-terrain tires, and underbody skid plates to better handle rough trails. The interior features easy-clean synthetic leather seating, and TrailSport models include a standard panoramic sunroof. The TrailSport Blackout blends those mechanical upgrades with blackout styling - black alloy wheels, HPD caps, and black badging - for a more rugged stance.

The TrailSport Elite occupies the top rung with luxury and tech upgrades: a 12-speaker Bose premium audio system with subwoofer, heated and ventilated front seats, integrated rear door sunshades, and Honda's multi-view camera with the TrailWatch feature. Prefer a stealthier package? The TrailSport Elite Blackout applies the blackout treatment to the Elite for a premium but more aggressive aesthetic.

How Much Horsepower Does the 2026 Passport Have?

Power comes from a 3.5-liter DOHC V-6 rated at 285 hp mated to a 10-speed automatic. The i-VTM4 torque-vectoring AWD system is standard for 2026, and properly equipped Passports can tow up to 5,000 pounds.

What Safety Features Does the 2026 Passport Include?

Safety remains central to the Passport's design. All trims receive the updated Honda Sensing suite, which includes a Collision Mitigation Brake System with pedestrian detection, Blind-Spot Information System, Lane-Keeping Assist System, and Adaptive Cruise Control. The multi-view camera with TrailWatch is available to aid maneuvering off-road and in tight spots.
