The All-New 2026 Honda Passport: Rugged Capability Meets Refined Luxury 

Confident Power, Tuned for Real-World Adventure 

Beneath the hood, the Passport retains Honda’s proven 3.5L V6 engine, now tuned to deliver a robust 285 horsepower, paired with a seamless 10-speed automatic transmission for improved throttle response and quieter cruising. Honda’s i-VTM4® Intelligent AWD system works proactively rather than reactively, distributing torque precisely where it’s needed for composed traction on wet gravel, snow-packed switchbacks, or steep forest access trails. 

For those who push deeper into nature, the TrailSport variant adds purpose-built hardware such as all-terrain tires, skid plate protection, and enhanced off-road suspension tuning, giving the Passport confidence well beyond the well-traveled road. 

A Cabin Designed for Comfort and Calm 

Step inside, and the rugged intent of the Passport gives way to an unexpectedly serene cabin environment. Seating for 5 is spacious and thoughtfully contoured, with premium leather-trimmed upholstery available for a more tailored, upscale feel. Heated seating is offered in both the front and rear rows, and in select high-end configurations, ventilated seating may also be available, further elevating comfort during summer journeys. 

A power moonroof brings natural light into the cabin, creating a panoramic sense of openness without compromising headroom or refinement. Sound insulation and cabin acoustics are carefully tuned, giving the Passport a luxury-function balance rarely found in adventure-focused SUVs. 

Practicality is equally well executed: a 60/40 split rear seatback, generous cargo space, and discreet underfloor storage ensure that gear, groceries, or overlanding essentials all have their place. 

Technology That Enhances Every Mile 

The Passport’s wide digital infotainment display delivers crisp responsiveness and easy access to maps, media, and vehicle features. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ are integrated seamlessly, while Google Built-In provides native access to navigation and voice assistance without the need for a connected smartphone. 

For premium audio lovers, the available Bose® sound system fills the cabin with clarity and warmth ideal for long weekend drives through Idaho’s scenic stretches. An available Wi-Fi hotspot ensures passengers stay connected, and over-the-air updates keep the Passport’s software experience evolving long after it leaves the dealership. 

Safety and Confidence in Every Condition 

Every Passport is equipped with the Honda Sensing® suite of advanced driver-assist features. From Collision Mitigation Braking to Lane Keeping Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control, this intelligent safety technology adds situational awareness without feeling intrusive. 

Additional confidence comes from features such as Blind Spot Information System, Cross Traffic Monitor, and Hill Descent Control, particularly during technical off-road driving or steep winter descents. 

A Premium SUV for the Roads Beyond Ordinary 

With its elevated comfort, quiet ride, and purposeful capability, the 2026 Honda Passport is proof that refinement and ruggedness don’t have to live in separate worlds. Whether you’re navigating Coeur d’Alene’s backroads or rolling into town for dinner reservations, the Passport carries itself with a premium poise few SUVs in its class achieve.
