Trail-Ready Performance 

One of the stand-out trims this year is the 2026 Honda Passport TrailSport trim, which builds on Honda’s growing lineup of adventure-ready vehicles. With an underbody skid plate, rugged all-terrain tires, LED fog lights, and an off-road tuned suspension, the TrailSport model is designed for weekend warriors who want to tackle backcountry roads with confidence. This trim also features exclusive badging and a more aggressive stance, reinforcing its off-road intent. 

Fuel Efficiency and Power 

The Honda Passport MPG rating remains competitive. This year’s model can achieve up to 19 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway.* Under the hood, a naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6 engine delivers 285 horsepower and 262 pounds of torque, paired with a smooth 10-speed automatic transmission.   

Towing Capability 

Capability is still a core focus. The Honda Passport towing capacity continues to impress, handling up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped.^ This makes the 2026 model a great choice for hauling boats, trailers, or other weekend toys, giving drivers the confidence to take on big jobs or big adventures. 

A Bold Redesign 

The most obvious change comes with the Honda Passport redesign, which sharpens the vehicle’s exterior styling. A more sculpted front fascia, new LED lighting signatures, and reworked grille design give the 2026 Passport a fresh, modern face. The rear also sees subtle changes, including updated tail lamps and a revised bumper, enhancing the SUV’s sporty appeal without straying too far from its roots.
