2026 Honda Passport

The 2026 Honda Passport has been completely reimagined as a wide-track, boxy brawler that trades soft curves for architectural grit. As your adventure authority at Russell Honda—located on Landers Road in North Little Rock—we know that navigating the morning commute on I-40 or heading out for a weekend at Petit Jean State Park requires a machine with true off-road soul. The 2026 Passport delivers with a more powerful 285-horsepower V6, a reinforced 10-speed transmission, and the second-generation i-VTM4 torque-vectoring AWD system as standard equipment. This isn't just a midsize SUV; it’s a high-torque, "backpack-styled" powerhouse designed to rule the Arkansas landscape with unyielding authority and a healthy dose of Southern grit.

Interior

Step inside the 2026 Passport and you’ll find a digital bunker that balances rugged durability with first-class comfort. The cabin is anchored by a standard 12.3-inch high-definition touchscreen featuring Google built-in, wireless Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. Because we know those Arkansas mornings can start a bit chilly, heated front seats are standard across all trims, while the TrailSport Elite adds ventilated perforated leather seats and a heated steering wheel to keep you in the fight. With an extra 1.4 inches of rear legroom and a massive cargo hold that offers up to 83.8 cubic feet of space with the seats folded, this sanctuary is built for the long haul. Clever touches like 14 cupholders—six of which are sized for 32-ounce sweet tea cups—and an available Bose 12-speaker premium audio system ensure your crew stays refreshed and entertained from North Little Rock to the Ozarks.

Exterior

The 2026 Passport commands respect with a "bold and broad-shouldered" silhouette that sits on a longer wheelbase with a wider track for enhanced stability. The front fascia features striking rectangular LED headlights and a signature hood scoop, while the rear showcases a unique "backpack" design theme with a matte black roof section. Every 2026 model sits on wheels designed for durability, with the TrailSport trims featuring aggressive 31-inch all-terrain tires. For the ultimate off-road presence, the TrailSport grades include heavy-duty steel skid plates, high-visibility recovery hooks in bright orange, and increased ground clearance. Whether it’s parked in a driveway off Landers Road or tackling a muddy trail near the river, the Passport’s flared fenders and stamped "PASSPORT" branding project an image of undeniable strength.

Performance

Under the hood, the 2026 Passport is powered by a formidable 3.5-liter V6 engine, unleashing a muscular 285 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. This muscle is funneled through a high-strength 10-speed automatic transmission featuring paddle shifters for surgical control. The standard i-VTM4 AWD system is the real hero, capable of sending 70% of torque to the rear wheels and distribute 100% of that to either side to power through Arkansas slush or deep mud. With a 5,000-lb towing capacity across the entire lineup and a dedicated Tow Mode that optimizes shift points, this beast has the grit to pull the boat to Lake Maumelle or a camper with total confidence. A new 7-mode drive system—including Trail, Sand, and Tow settings—ensures you have total authority over any terrain.

Safety Features

A true warrior always watches its six. Every 2026 Passport comes standard with an upgraded Honda Sensing suite, a digital fortress of protection built for the unpredictable nature of the road. This next-gen suite features a new wide-view camera and radar to enhance Collision Mitigation Braking, Road Departure Mitigation, and Adaptive Cruise Control. New for 2026, the Passport features eight standard airbags and the available TrailWatch camera system, which acts as a digital spotter by displaying tire path graphics on the screen so you can dodge obstacles with ease. It’s high-tech armor for your daily drive, providing the security you need to push the limits safely whether you're in city traffic or out in the woods.
