Honda unveils 2026 Passport as its most capable off-road SUV yet

Honda has unveiled the 2026 Passport, its most capable off-road SUV to date. The new model features a longer wheelbase, wider track, and enhanced suspension for improved stability and handling. It offers a powerful 3.5-liter V6 engine with a 10-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive. The rugged TrailSport trim emphasizes off-road performance with specialized suspension, all-terrain tires, and protective underbody skid plates. The design is more robust and functional, with features like integrated storage solutions and a spacious interior that includes advanced technology and driver-assist features. Production will take place in Alabama, with the Passport expected to start at around $40,000 when it launches in early 2025. This marks a shift for Honda, moving back towards more traditional SUV capabilities after years focused on crossovers.
