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.
