Why the 2026 Honda Passport Is Built for Weekend Adventures and Daily Driving
The 2026 Honda Passport is a strong contender if you want an SUV that can do a little bit of everything. Most days involve work commutes, school drop-offs, and errands. But when the weekend hits, you need a vehicle that can handle adventure. Explore how the 2026 Passport delivers just that.
Powerful V6 Engine Built for Any Drive
The Passport has a 3.5-liter V6 engine that pairs with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Fuel economy-wise, the TrailSport models achieve 18 mpg in the city, 23 mpg on the highway, and 20 mpg combined, while standard trims do slightly better at 19 city, 25 highway, and 21 combined mpg. With a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds, the Passport can handle small campers or a boat for a weekend at the lake.
Trail-Ready Features for Weekend Adventures
The Honda Passport has a ground clearance of 8.3 inches and a 23-degree approach angle, which help it handle steep terrain. TrailSport models include several off-roading features:
- 31-inch General Grabber A/T Sport all-terrain tires
- Steel skid plates
- Off-road tuned suspension
Seven drive modes allow the SUV to adapt to changing conditions. These include Normal, ECON, Sport, Snow, Tow, Trail, and Sand. The TrailWatch camera system helps when crawling along narrow trails, while hill descent control maintains a steady speed between 2 and 12 mph on steep slopes.
Everyday Comfort for Daily Driving
Despite its off-roading ability, the Passport is more than comfortable enough for daily use. Suspension tuning helps it handle potholes and bumpy roads. Inside the cabin, you get heated, leather-trimmed seats with power adjustments. Higher trims add ventilated front seats and other luxury touches.
Maximum Cargo Space for Gear and Groceries
Cargo capacity is another area where the Passport stands out. There are 44 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats. Fold those seats down, and the total grows to 83.8 cubic feet.
There's also a handy under-floor compartment for additional storage. You can even add an optional tailgate shelf that converts into a small picnic table, which is perfect for campsite lunches or quick roadside breaks.
Smart Technology for Connected Adventures
A 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system comes standard and pairs with a 10.2-inch digital gauge cluster. Built-in services from Google give you access to Google Maps, Google Assistant, and Google Play apps, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto also come standard.
A 5G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot and wireless phone charging help you stay connected, while multiple USB-C ports and a 110-volt outlet add extra convenience. Every Passport includes the Honda Sensing safety suite.
Trim Levels To Match Your Lifestyle
The Passport comes in seven trims, allowing you to choose the right balance of comfort and off-road ability:
- RTL
- RTL Towing
- RTL Blackout
- TrailSport
- TrailSport Blackout
- TrailSport Elite
- TrailSport Elite Blackout
The Perfect Balance of Adventure and Practicality
The 2026 Honda Passport proves that you don't have to pick between comfort and adventure. It delivers real power, off-road capability, and plenty of everyday convenience.
