If you’re looking to explore out-of-the-way places, the reimagined 2026 Honda Passport TrailSport might be the adventure companion you’ve been waiting for. Packed with trail-ready capabilities, this powerful SUV can help you take on your next big adventure. Here’s a look at all the new features, technology, and available accessories that elevate this latest iteration of the Passport to a true off-road vehicle.
Off-Road Capabilities
When Honda branded the all-new Passport TrailSport as the most off-road-capable vehicle in its lineup, the brand meant it. The latest model is more rugged and capable than ever. A 285-horsepower1 V-6 engine and 10-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters provide the torque output and acceleration you need to take on steep uphill climbs and tough terrain.
When tackling the downhill, the Passport’s hill descent control system lets you focus on the trail while it helps manage your speed without the need to put your foot on the brake pedal.

For uncompromising stability and performance, the design relies on an off-road-tuned suspension and second-generation i-VTM4 AWD System. Toggle between seven versatile drive modes to balance power and control on everything from snow and sand to rocky trails and more. Short bumper overhangs, 23-degree approach angles, and 8.3 inches of ground clearance let you explore wherever the adventure takes you without worry.
Durable recovery hooks and a heavy-duty trailer hitch with available accessories give you the confidence to test the limits. Plus, with a 5,000-pound towing capacity, the Honda Passport can haul boats, campers, gear trailers, and more.2
Rugged Exterior
This midsize SUV doesn’t just provide off-road performance — it also looks the part with functional, yet aesthetic features built for adventure. GearJunkies toting all kinds of outdoor toys can choose from an available accessory roof platform or crossbars to go with the standard gloss-black roof rails that can support up to 209 pounds of cargo.2
The durable rear quarter roof garnish helps protect the vehicle as you load and unload gear. On the road, an available accessory powder-coated, aluminum front scuff plate, protective bumpers, and a durable rear quarter roof garnish help mitigate wear and tear while adding to the Passport’s rugged look.
Available accessory low-profile, hardened-steel rock sliders help protect the vehicle from high-center and ledge drop-off damage on the toughest terrain.
Get the stability and handling you need to tackle varied trail conditions with 18-inch wheels featuring recessed valve stems for improved durability. They are available in two eye-catching colors — white alloy and rugged black. Plus, wherever you roam, you can always count on outstanding visibility thanks to the amber daytime running lights on the TrailSport trim, plus LED headlights, fog lights, and brake lights.
Interior Built for GearJunkies
Whether you’re hitting the road with your adventure buddies or packing the cargo area with gear, the Honda Passport TrailSport’s spacious cabin and cargo area offer comfort and utility. The Passport, with its generous rear legroom, can comfortably seat five adults, while the tri-zone climate control keeps the whole crew happy.
Eleven total cupholders, with many that fit 32-ounce bottles, mean everyone can stay hydrated en route to the next adventure. For the driver, available heated steering keeps your hands comfortable even on those alpine start mornings.
Heated and available ventilated front seats keep you and the front passenger comfortable in any climate. Multiple 12V and available 115V power outlets ensure that everyone’s devices stay charged.

Load all the gear you need and then some in the roomy cargo space. The available integrated MOLLE Panel Set in the rear cargo area helps you stay organized with flexible storage modules and options to secure gear.
An available versatile tailgate table cargo shelf with a 44-pound capacity works as another storage solution on the go and converts into a picnic table back at camp. Utilize the 60/40 split rear seatback folds to create a flat surface for gear or a comfortable sleeping area. Then, stash emergency gear and tools in extra compartments below the floor panel.
Easily access everything in the cargo area with the available hands-free access power tailgate that opens with a simple foot gesture under the bumper. An available tailgate LED cargo light helps illuminate the cargo area after dark.
TrailSport Technology
Navigate unfamiliar terrain like a pro with the help of the Passport’s Trail Info, which displays real-time data on trail pitch, roll, elevation, and compass direction in the 10.2-inch Digital Instrument Cluster on the dashboard. On steep angles or when you encounter obstructions on the route, the available second-generation TrailWatch camera offers a clear view of the vehicle’s tire path for even more driving precision.
The Passport also comes with advanced technology features, including Google built-in3, wireless smartphone compatibility for Android3 and iPhone4, and available Wi-Fi hotspot capability5 to keep you connected anywhere there’s AT&T service.
Stay updated on fuel status, tire pressure, and maintenance schedules, and remotely start the Passport right from your smartphone using HondaLink6. Plus, wireless update capability ensures your vehicle always operates on the latest software, even when you’re off exploring.
