2026 Honda Passport TrailSport | Pricing Specs and Off-Road Features

The 2026 Honda Passport TrailSport has officially been released, revealing full specifications and pricing details. Marketed as Honda’s most capable off-road SUV to date, the TrailSport boasts enhanced features and a rugged design.

Rugged Exterior and Functional Design

The 2026 TrailSport features a redesigned exterior with orange-finished recovery hooks, a hood vent, substantial black plastic cladding, and robust roof rails. These elements combine for a visually striking and functional design. The blacked-out rear roof section allows for easy and scratch-free transportation of items like skis or fishing rods. Highlighting its off-road readiness are the 31-inch tires and a specialized suspension that boosts ground clearance. The exhaust tip is tucked away for protection against damage on rough terrain, and steel skid plates safeguard the oil pan, transmission, and fuel tank.

Powerful Performance and Drivetrain

All 2026 Passport models are powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine producing 285 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission that drives all four wheels. The SUV boasts a towing capacity of 5,000 pounds. While the TrailSport doesn’t include a locking differential or two-speed transfer case, it compensates with an advanced i-VTM4 torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive system. This system can handle 40% more torque and distribute up to 70% of the engine’s torque to the rear wheels, with the ability to send 100% of that torque to either the left or right wheel for improved traction.

2026 Passport Pricing and Trims

The 2026 Passport lineup includes several trims, each offering unique features and styling. Here’s a breakdown of the pricing, including the $1,450 destination charge:

Passport RTL: $46,200

Passport RTL Towing: $46,900

Passport RTL Blackout: $47,400

Passport TrailSport: $49,900

Passport TrailSport Blackout: $51,100

Passport TrailSport Elite: $53,900

Passport TrailSport Elite Blackout: $55,100

The Towing Package includes a Class III hitch with a 7-pin connector and rear recovery points. The Blackout Package adds black-finished 18-inch alloy wheels, black lug nuts, and black exterior emblems. The Elite trim includes a 360-degree camera system (TrailWatch) and 18-inch Berlina Black wheels.

Off-Road Accessories and Customization

For those looking to enhance their off-road experience, Honda offers a variety of accessories, including 18-inch wheels, rock sliders, and a full-size spare tire. Overlanding enthusiasts can also opt for add-ons such as a cargo roof platform, MOLLE storage systems, and a fold-out picnic table.

2026 Honda Passport vs. Toyota 4Runner

With a competitive price point, the 2026 Honda Passport TrailSport poses a compelling alternative to the Toyota 4Runner. The 4Runner SR5 starts at $42,220, while the TRD Off-Road model is priced at $50,640, placing it in direct competition with the Passport TrailSport. Built in Alabama, the 2026 Honda Passport is available for purchase now.
