Overview

Written by automotive expertReese Counts

2/6/2026

The 2026 Honda Passport is fully redesigned. Fundamentally, it's a lot like the previous generation Passport that ran from 2019 to 2025. It's mechanically related to the bigger three-row Pilot but is shorter and lacks a third-row seat. Essentially, the Passport exists for shoppers who want something a little bigger and more adventurous than the typical small SUV (like the CR-V) but don't want or need the full utility of a midsize three-row SUV. Highlights for the 2026 Passport include boxier styling, an improved powertrain, new technology features, and better on- and off-road manners.

Edmunds spotlight: The 2026 Passport's changes

The 2026 Passport is a little bigger than last year and has more interior space. Fold down the rear seats and you've got a substantial 83.8 cubic feet of cargo space to work with. Hidden from view are a slightly more powerful V6 engine and a smoother-shifting automatic transmission. The Passport's advanced driver aids (such as the adaptive cruise control) are also improved to work more smoothly and unobtrusively. As before, there's a TrailSport trim that's aimed at outdoor enthusiasts and comes with features such as an off-road-tuned suspension, all-terrain tires and underbody protective skid plates. A Passport TrailSport is not as specialized or capable as a Jeep Wrangler, but it'll get you farther along in the dirt than the average crossover SUV.

Competitors to consider

Like the Honda Passport, the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Toyota 4Runner and Subaru Outback all go back decades. While they've grown more refined over the years, they haven't given up their SUVs roots and, like the Passport, are a bit more capable off-road than the average crossover. The Mazda CX-70 is another option. It's not meant for off-roading, but it does have a classier interior and sportier performance than the Passport.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expertBrian Wong

Very Good

7.5

out of 10

We drove the 2026 Honda Passport on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles ayear.

Driving experience

6.9/10

How does the Honda Passport drive? The tried-and-true V6 provides enough power to make the Passport feel sprightly around town, even though its 0-60 mph time of 7.9 seconds is merely average for the class. However, the motor can feel sluggish when passing on the highway. We found the steering to be pretty numb, but the Passport feels stable when cornering quickly and it doesn't squirm if you have to slam on the brakes in a panic stop.

Large windows provide good visibility forward and through the rear glass, but the wide rear pillars cause a big blind spot when you look over your shoulders. We were thankful that blind-spot monitoring is standard, and that the TrailSport Elite we tested also had a surround-view camera system with good resolution and plenty of view angles. Honda's advanced safety aids all worked well in our time with the Passport. The lane keeping assistance kept the Passport centered in its lane, while adaptive cruise control slowed and accelerated the SUV smoothly on the highway.

Comfort

8.3/10

View interior photos

How comfortable is the Honda Passport? Spaciousness is a big component of overall passenger comfort, and the Passport's expansive cabin delivers with roomy seating for front and rear passengers alike. The front seats are well cushioned with plenty of support, and the rear seats (even the middle seat) are comfortable as well. The backseat space also pays dividends when installing a child seat, with plenty of room to maneuver and large door openings. The only functional misstep is the confounding lack of rear seat recline.

We also found that the number of physical controls for things like the climate system and drive modes makes it easy to live with the Passport. There are no convoluted virtual menus to navigate or screens to sort through — everything you need to use regularly is right at your fingertips. Our only complaint is that the cabin can get a bit noisy at highway speeds, but apart from that, it's serene.

In-cabin tech

9/10

How’s the tech? The Passport ends Honda's tradition of keeping the good technology features reserved for the top trim level. All Passports come with a 10.2-inch instrument cluster display and a 12.3-inch touchscreen, wireless charging pad, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and four USB-C charging ports spread throughout the cabin. The latest Honda infotainment system with Google integration for maps and the voice assistant is also standard.

We find the instrument cluster to be particularly clever. It shows the right amount of information without being overwhelming, and it can even display Google Maps on the right side of the screen so you get directions even if the screen is being used for something else.

Buying Tips for the 2026 Honda Passport for February

Looking to get behind the wheel of the 2026 Honda Passport? Here are some expert tips to ensure you drive away with a great deal:

The market price for new 2026 Honda Passports is about 4.8% below the MSRP, meaning you could save up to $2,581 depending on the trim.
Although there are no general rebates available, military members and recent college grads can enjoy a $500 discount across trims.
Look out for special APR offers, with rates as low as 3.49% for 36 months for qualified buyers, offering a substantial saving of up to 3% off the market rate.
Nationwide, there are over 2,000 new Passports available, with the TrailSport Elite having a notably larger inventory compared to other trims. This could work in your favor when negotiating.
When it comes to leasing, expect monthly payments to start around $547 with about $3,047 due at signing.
If you're considering a used model, the lowest dealer display price is around $36,610, but inventory is limited, so act quickly.

Storage & cargo

8.9/10

How’s storage and cargo? Storage abounds for items large and small in the Passport. Up front, there's a gigantic bin in the center console and a large shelf in front of the passenger. The cupholders are also generously sized and will fit even large metal water bottles. Rear passengers also enjoy sizable door pockets.

The cargo area (measuring 44 cubic feet behind the rear seat and 83.8 cubes with the seats folded) is cavernous and features smart storage solutions of its own. There's a removable bin to put dirty items below the floor, pockets on the sides to place smaller items you don't want rolling around, and even a walkaway close feature. If you have to remove something heavy, just hit a button and the liftgate closes automatically when you leave.

Value

7.1/10

Is the Honda Passport a good value? Much of the Passport's value is derived from its robust standard feature set, with every trim level coming with a large 12.3-inch touchscreen, heated and power-adjustable front seats, front and rear parking sensors, all-wheel drive and a wireless charging pad. Backing that up is a solidly built and well-appointed interior, with Honda's attention to detail on the commonly used touchpoints shining through. There are no options packages to speak of, but the seven trim levels pile on equipment to justify the increasing prices. The included warranty is average for the class: three years/36,000 miles of basic coverage and five years/60,000 miles for the powertrain.

MPG

3/10

How’s the fuel economy? The Passport's fuel economy is on par with the mpg of other midsize SUVs. EPA estimates are 21 mpg combined (19 city/25 highway) for RTL models, while TrailSport models and their less efficient all-terrain tires come in just behind that at 20 mpg combined (18 city/23 highway). In our time with the Passport, we averaged just under 20 mpg, so its figures seem achievable in real-world driving.

X factor

9/10

Utility usually isn't sexy, but the Passport proves to be so useful in such a wide range of scenarios that it just feels great to have it around. Its rugged styling also fits its nature — it is attractive in a purpose-driven way that's appealing to a wide audience.

2026 Honda Passport trim level differences

The 2026 Honda Passport is a two-row midsize SUV. It slots between the smaller CR-V and larger Pilot, the latter of which is essentially a longer three-row version of the Passport. The Passport comes in three main trim levels:RTL,TrailSport andTrailSport Elite.All Passports use a 3.5-liter V6 engine (285 horsepower, 262 lb-ft of torque) paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is standard.Compare the 2026 Honda Passport trim levels in-depth.

Which Passport trim does Edmunds recommend?

The standard RTL comes well equipped, but we think it's worth stepping up to theTrailSport trim even if you don't plan on utilizing its full capabilities. The jump in price is small, and the extra features really help the Passport stand out from other midsize SUVs.

Amazing SUV

5 out of 5 stars

Great Car, 04/13/2025

2026 Honda Passport TrailSport Blackout 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 10A)

I have been driving the 2026 Passport for almost 2 weeks and have 500 miles. Thought I'd do a quick initial review now. Positives-The cars engine has a ton of power even in normal drive mode. I have seen complaints about this but I had a twin turbo V6 on my previous car and this engine on sport+sport mode is smoother with almost the same power out put. 10/10 Paint quality on the … white is very high even sparkling. I didn't get any welding defects build quality is solid. I love the faux leather/cloth interior super high quality and looks great. Orange accent lighting adds a ton of atmosphere. 10/10Steering and handling has been a 10/10. Excellent turning radius and smooth handling. On road drive quality is great 9/10 just can feel the larger tires a bit at high speeds. Negatives-I got some windshield cracks first day I owned it. Maybe a lower quality windshield but could just be the area I live. Entertainment system has had software bugs and has needed dealership updates. Needing to go to the dealership for software updates and getting a error message on the dash are annoying but not anything major. 6/10The under body of the car is a bit difficult to wash. Features i would have liked to have that the Elite trim has- Acoustic glass would be nice and cooled seats as well. The rest of the upgraded features I really would never use like the trail cam or 360 camera. I personally preffer the 360 sensors on this model cause 360 cameras give me a migraine.

Honda Passport vs. Toyota 4Runner

If you want to explore trails beyond where the Passport can go, the Toyota 4Runner is an excellent pick. All new in 2025, the 4Runner is roomier and more accommodating to its passengers, especially tall drivers. It's also more refined on the road than before, although it still falls short of the Passport. Where the 4Runner shines is off-road, where its truck-based chassis and four-wheel drive system can go further than just about any similar competitor. For more about the 4Runner, check out our thoughts on theToyota 4Runner in our long-term fleet.

Honda Passport vs. Jeep Grand Cherokee

Off-road enthusiasts are no strangers to the Jeep brand, and the Grand Cherokee has the goods. It's off-road capable with available four-wheel drive and dedicated rugged-terrain gear, but surprisingly civil around town. The downside is that it quickly gets expensive as you add options, with upper trim levels demanding luxury-SUV prices, and the interior accommodations don't quite match the price. Still, if you can keep your options in check, it's a strong alternative.

Compare Honda Passport & Jeep Grand Cherokee features

Honda Passport vs. Hyundai Santa Fe

Hyundai is playing a bit of the same off-road game when it comes to the newest version of the Santa Fe. With the XRT trim, the Hyundai Santa Fe has increased ride height and tires that are better suited for off-road duty. It also has an upscale interior and a surprisingly roomy third row seat. While it's not quite as capable as the Passport, it's worth a look if you need something on the smaller side but still have light-duty off-road ambitions. We spent a year with aSanta Fe Calligraphy Hybrid, and while it's not the off-road version, many of our impressions still apply.
