Rugged, Adventure-Ready Design
The new Honda Passport screams ruggedness with its bold and aggressive “backpack design.” The design theme blends form and function, creating an SUV that looks ready for anything—and is equipped to handle it.

Available in eight stunning colors, including new Ash Green Metallic and Sunset Orange (exclusive to TrailSport trims), the Passport offers a palette as adventurous as its capabilities.
Performance That Delivers Everywhere
The 2026 Passport is powered by a robust 3.5-liter DOHC V6 engine producing 285 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Together, they ensure smooth, responsive performance across a range of terrains.

Trail enthusiasts will also appreciate the Trail Mode, which enhances off-road capability by adjusting traction and stability settings. Need to tow? The Passport can handle up to 5,000 pounds, making it perfect for campers, boats, or off-road toys.
