The 2026 Honda Passport represents a complete redesign that sets it apart from both previous models and competitors like the Toyota 4Runner, Ford Edge, and Nissan Murano. The redesigned exterior features a bolder, boxed stance with 8.3 inches of ground clearance, a 23-degree approach angle, and protective skid plates that announce this SUV’s serious capability.
Under the hood, the 3.5-liter V6 engine produces 285 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, paired with a new 10-speed automatic transmission that delivers smoother shifts and improved fuel efficiency. The Passport’s 5,000-pound towing capacity surpasses the Hyundai Santa Fe, Ford Edge, and Subaru Outback by 1,500 pounds, making it the ideal choice for Wilmington families who need to haul boats, campers, or utility trailers. With seven drive modes including Normal, ECON, Sport, Snow, Trail, Sand, and Tow, you can optimize performance for any terrain or weather condition.
Compared to the smaller Honda CR-V, the Passport offers substantially more cargo space (44 cubic feet behind the rear seat versus 39.3 cubic feet) and significantly more towing capability. While the Honda Pilot provides third-row seating for up to eight passengers, the Passport’s two-row configuration maximizes cargo room and reduces overall length for better maneuverability in tight spaces. This makes the Passport the perfect middle ground for active couples and small families who prioritize capability over maximum passenger capacity.

The 2026 Honda Passport represents a complete redesign with significant improvements over previous generations. The new model features a more rigid chassis structure, upgraded 10-speed automatic transmission (replacing the previous 9-speed), and Honda’s second-generation i-VTM4 all-wheel drive system with 40% more torque capacity and 30% faster response time. Exterior changes include a bolder, more rugged design with increased ground clearance, improved approach angles, and enhanced off-road capability through the TrailSport trim’s all-terrain tires and specialized suspension tuning.
The Honda Passport sits perfectly between the compact CR-V and the three-row Pilot in Honda’s SUV lineup. While the CR-V offers better fuel economy (up to 40 mpg combined for the hybrid) and a lower starting price, the Passport provides significantly more cargo space (44 vs. 39.3 cubic feet) and superior towing capacity (5,000 vs. 1,500 pounds). Compared to the Pilot, the Passport sacrifices third-row seating but gains better maneuverability and maximized two-row cargo capacity. All three models share Honda’s excellent safety technology and build quality, but the Passport uniquely balances rugged capability with family-friendly comfort.
The 2026 Honda Passport offers class leading towing capability with a maximum capacity of 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. This surpasses competitors like the Hyundai Santa Fe, Ford Edge, and Subaru Outback by 1,500 pounds, making the Passport ideal for towing boats, campers, and utility trailers. Honda includes integrated cooling systems to support the full towing capacity without requiring aftermarket modifications. The Passport’s dedicated Tow drive mode optimizes transmission shift points and throttle response for confident trailer handling.
Every new Honda Passport includes Honda Sensing®, a comprehensive suite of advanced safety and driver-assistance technologies. Standard features include Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™) with Forward Collision Warning, Road Departure Mitigation System with Lane Departure Warning, Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow, Lane Keeping Assist System, Traffic Sign Recognition, and Traffic Jam Assist. Additional safety equipment includes a next-generation front passenger airbag, driver and front-passenger knee airbags, Hill Descent Control, Blind Spot Information System with Cross Traffic Monitor, and rear parking sensors.
The 2026 Honda Passport achieves EPA-estimated fuel economy of 19 city / 25 highway / 21 combined mpg for RTL trims. TrailSport models with their off-road-tuned suspension and all-terrain tires achieve 18 city / 23 highway / 20 combined mpg. The Passport’s 18.5-gallon fuel tank provides excellent driving range for long trips, and the vehicle operates on regular 87-octane unleaded gasoline, helping keep ownership costs manageable. While the Passport prioritizes performance and capability over maximum fuel efficiency, its mpg ratings remain competitive within the midsize SUV segment.
