Named one of Car and Driver’s 10Best Trucks and SUVs, the 2026 Honda Passport is built for drivers who want capability, comfort, and smart technology all in one package. And this year, it’s in its most rugged form yet, ready to take on your wild side as well as your family trips. Whether you're navigating daily commutes or heading off the beaten path near Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, there's a Passport trim designed to match your needs. Here's a closer look at what each trim level brings to the table.
What the RTL Trim Offers
The RTL is the foundation of the 2026 Honda Passport lineup, and it comes well-equipped right out of the gate. It boasts a 3.5L V6 engine producing 285 hp and 262 lbs.-ft. of torque and Honda's 2nd-generation Intelligent Variable Torque Management (i-VTM4®) all-wheel drive system with Trail Torque Logic as standard. That includes a 7-mode drive system with settings like Snow, Sand, Trail, Sport, and Tow. That kind of versatility makes the 2026 Honda Passport a seriously capable SUV before you even consider adding options.
The RTL welcomes you in with 10-way power adjustable, heated leather and cloth seats, tri-zone climate control, and a 12.3” color touchscreen. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ are included, but the real highlight is Google Built-in, also standard. A 9-speaker audio system with a subwoofer, Wi-Fi® hotspot, and wireless charging round out a strong standard package.
The 2026 Passport lineup also includes RTL Towing and RTL Blackout configurations. The RTL Towing adds an integrated Class III trailer hitch with harness, while the RTL Blackout adds drama with 18” black alloy wheels, black badges, and blackout detailing all over.
How the TrailSport Steps Things Up
The TrailSport trim builds on the RTL with off-road-focused upgrades including off-road-tuned suspension, skid plates, all-terrain tires, and high-visibility recovery hooks.
Inside, the TrailSport swaps to durable leatherette and cloth seats with vibrant TrailSport orange stitching and accents. The steering wheel gets matching orange stitching, and even the ambient LED lighting uses a matching amber. The panoramic moonroof floods the cabin with natural light. You'll also get 115V power outlets in the 2nd row and rear cargo area, LED fog lights, and a heated wiper zone. These are practical additions for drivers who use their SUV off-road.
An integrated Class III trailer hitch with harness and a 5,000-lb. towing capacity makes the TrailSport a solid option for weekend hauling as well. The TrailSport also gets a Blackout edition giving it an even more rugged and bold look.
Premium Capability: the TrailSport Elite
Both indulgent and rugged, the top-tier TrailSport Elite brings the best of everything the Passport offers. Perforated leather seats with heating and ventilation up front, a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a long list of upscale conveniences make this experience all about you, the driver. Rain-sensing wipers, a heated wiper zone, power-folding heated side mirrors, puddle lights, and parking sensors bring a level of convenience you didn’t know you wanted.
Technology gets a significant boost too. The TrailSport Elite shows off a 12-speaker Bose® Premium Audio System with a subwoofer, a Multi-View Camera System, and 2nd-generation TrailWatch™, which provides a view of the tire path to assist with trail navigation.
Finishing touches include a hands-free power tailgate with Walk Away Close, acoustic front side glass alongside the standard acoustic windshield, and the available TrailSport Elite Blackout trim. This trim gives you all the drama, all the ruggedness, all the luxury, and added exclusivity in the Passport lineup for a truly unique drive.
