In a bold reimagining of the adventure SUV, Honda has introduced the all-new 2026 Passport, engineered for off-road enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers. Built around a rugged “Born Wild” design, the Passport boasts a powerful V6 engine, cutting-edge tech, and unprecedented off-road capabilities that set it apart in the midsize SUV segment. Starting in the mid-$40,000s (INR 33.77 lakh), the latest Passport is set to roll into dealerships early next year, available in three trims: RTL, TrailSport, and the high-end TrailSport Elite.
A New Era of Off-Road Capability with TrailSport
For thrill-seekers, the Passport TrailSport is Honda’s most off-road-ready SUV to date. Outfitted with features such as an off-road-tuned suspension, reinforced skid plates, robust all-terrain tires, and bright orange recovery hooks, the TrailSport is designed to conquer the toughest terrains. Its rugged setup extends to the exclusive TrailWatch camera system, standard in the TrailSport Elite, providing drivers a clear view of obstacles on rocky trails or steep descents.
Powerful Performance Under the Hood
Each Passport comes powered by a new 285-horsepower, 3.5-liter V6 engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission for refined power and responsive handling. The upgraded i-VTM4 all-wheel-drive system features enhanced torque distribution and faster response times, giving the Passport top-notch traction on slick roads and challenging trails. With seven selectable drive modes, including the new Trail and Tow modes, the Passport effortlessly adapts to any adventure.
Smart Tech and Expanded Interior Comfort
Inside, Honda has blended spacious comfort with tech-driven convenience. The Passport’s interior features a modernized design, enhanced storage, and more rear legroom than its predecessors. Drivers and passengers will enjoy the latest tech offerings, including a 10.2-inch digital display, a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen with Google built-in, wireless Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto compatibility. The top-tier TrailSport Elite ups the ante with a 12-speaker Bose audio system and premium leather upholstery.
A Range of Rugged Accessories for the Ultimate Adventure Experience
Honda has expanded its accessory options with features tailored for adventurers, including rock sliders, a cargo roof platform, and even a stowable picnic table integrated with the cargo area. These options reflect Honda’s dedication to combining rugged capability with functional design, enhancing the Passport’s appeal for weekend warriors and off-road aficionados alike.
Safety First with Advanced Honda Sensing Technology
Safety remains a priority in the new Passport, equipped with Honda’s updated Sensing suite, featuring expanded radar and camera views. With the latest enhancements in Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, and Blind Spot Information, the Passport’s safety tech is designed to support drivers on the highway and rougher trails.
Built in America for American Adventures
Produced in Honda’s Lincoln, Alabama plant, the new Passport represents Honda’s 45-year commitment to building vehicles close to its customers. Honda’s renowned 3.5-liter V6 engine, also manufactured in Alabama, powers the Passport, underscoring the brand’s dedication to quality and performance.
The 2026 Honda Passport is ready to redefine adventure, blending a rugged exterior, a luxurious interior, and exceptional off-road capabilities into a single, adventure-ready SUV.
