2026 Honda Passport.


This new spy shot of the redesigned 2026 Honda Passport shows the off-road TrailSport trim.
Honda had a great idea a few years ago to add the TrailSport trim to the aging Passport, then later to the new Pilot. I think the off-road bits look quite good on the “classic” Passport design. I test-drove one again recently and it is a very nice SUV. However, it is now almost 6 years old, which isn’t that old. But it is based on the previous generation Honda Pilot that came out in 2015.
This is quite a dated design with an even more dated interior. Since it is almost exactly the same as in the 2016 Pilot.
The next-generation will of course be based off the recurrent Pilot, and will be much improved. Honda claims the new TrailSport version will be their most off-road cabable SUV yet.
The new Passport interior will probably be very close to the current generation Pilot, as expected. The best news is it will probably retain the current generation super smooth 3.5 Liter V6, in a world where the good old V6 is diseapearing. Even the next generation Murano is rumored to get a 2.0 Liter Turbo.
However, by now, you would think they had their act together to offer some kind of electrification…
