For 2026, the Honda Passport gets a full, significant facelift, bringing new rugged styling and an updated interior to the table. Power continues to come from a naturally-aspirated V6 engine paired with an automatic transmission, while all-wheel drive continues to be the standard drivetrain. For Canada, all Passports are offered in Trailsport trim for 2026, offering upgraded off-road capability, features and styling.
Juror Dan Heyman had this to say in his Honda Passport review published in VicariousMag:
“Is it going to go blow-for-blow with the body-on-frame 4Runner? Not quite, but with the styling provided, the beefy chassis and powertrain design and an interior with room aplenty for both passengers and their overlanding cargo, Honda has proven adept at delivering a vehicle that can take the fight to that 4Runner, as well as other leaders in the adventure-overlanding segment from Jeep, Ford or Subaru. Further, with the Passport Trailsport, you get the drum-tight interior fittings Honda has become known for as well as the brand’s heralded durability. It’s a very, very compelling package.”
