2026 Honda Passport Preview – Consumer Reports

“Bold,” “adventure,” “wild,” “sportier,” “robust,” and “rugged” are some of the words Honda uses to describe the 2026 Passport. It’s boxy like a Toyota Land Cruiser and has industrial design touches, including the word “PASSPORT” stamped into the sheet metal. 

It’s only a little bit longer, taller, and wider than the current model, but Honda says interior cargo volume is up almost six cubic feet—that’s about the size of a large suitcase. We’ll be sure to test Honda’s claims when we buy our own Passport.

Honda put a lot of thought into the roof, including matte trim on the back half that’s supposed to prevent scratches when leaning skis against the rear of the vehicle, and an integrated satellite antenna that eliminates protrusions that would get in the way of loading or unloading roof-mounted cargo. At the front and rear of the TrailSport trim are recovery points—hooks where you can attach a tow rope—that are designed to break off in a crash to prevent injury and damage. 

Bucking the trend of fitting giant, 20-inch-plus wheels on SUVs, all Passports come with 18-inch wheels. The RTL trim level has black and matte exterior trim, and the TrailSport features skid plates and fog lights. Buyers can opt for bold, bright paint colors across the Passport lineup.
