Overview

The fully redesigned 2026 Passport TrailSport takes Honda's two-row midsize SUV into true off-road territory with boxy styling, enhanced structural rigidity, and steel underbody armor.

Off-Road & Driving Dynamics

Powered by a 285 hp V6 paired with a 10-speed transmission, the TrailSport's i-VTM4 system actively vectors up to 70% of engine torque to the rear wheels, making light work of rocky or muddy trails.

Tech & Utility

Inside, a prominent 12.3-inch touchscreen features native Google built-in apps, while 5,000 lbs of towing capability and up to 83.5 cu ft of cargo room handle heavy outdoor gear.

Pros

  • 2nd-Generation i-VTM4 torque-vectoring AWD with Trail Torque Logic
  • Standard steel skid plates and high-visibility front recovery hooks
  • Smooth 285 hp 3.5L V6 paired with a responsive 10-speed transmission
  • Standard 12.3-inch touchscreen with Google built-in navigation & apps
  • Robust 5,000 lbs maximum towing capacity

Cons

  • 20 MPG combined fuel economy trails hybrid competitors
  • Slightly firm ride on pavement due to all-terrain tire tread
  • Higher starting price point for the off-road TrailSport trim

Verdict

The completely redesigned 2026 Honda Passport TrailSport AWD blends serious off-road hardware like steel skid plates and torque-vectoring i-VTM4 AWD with a refined 285 hp V6 and modern Google built-in infotainment.
