The Honda Passport has been a top choice in the midsize SUV segment, and the 2025 model introduced rugged new styling, an updated powertrain, and a host of new features. The 2026 Honda Passport builds on that successful formula with key updates that make it an even more compelling option for SUV shoppers in Durham, NC and beyond. Here's a look at what's new for 2026 and how it compares to the 2025 model.
What's New for the 2025 Honda Passport
The 2025 Honda Passport introduced a bold new look with a more aggressive front end, restyled headlights and taillights, and rugged new wheel designs. Under the hood, the 3.5L V6 engine was updated for more responsive performance and fuel efficiency. Inside, the Passport gained updated tech features like a larger touchscreen display, wireless smartphone connectivity, and more.
Whether you're commuting in Raleigh or heading out on a weekend adventure, the 2025 Passport delivers the perfect blend of style, capability, and technology to suit your needs.
Performance Upgrades for the 2026 Honda Passport
For 2026, the Honda Passport keeps the same proven 3.5-liter V6 engine under the hood, paired with a smooth 9-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain delivers responsive acceleration and passing power while still returning impressive fuel economy for a midsize SUV.
But Honda's engineers didn't stop there. The 2026 Passport features retuned suspension and steering for enhanced handling and stability, whether cruising the The RTP highways or exploring off-road trails. The Passport is ready for any adventure with available all-wheel drive and selectable drive modes.
Interior Refinements and New Technology
Inside, the 2026 Honda Passport offers a spacious, versatile, and premium-feeling cabin. High-quality materials and new color options elevate the look and feel, while thoughtful storage solutions make it easy to bring along all your gear.
On the technology front, the new Passport features an even larger touchscreen display with crisp, clear graphics and lightning-fast response times. Wireless charging and connectivity for your smartphone make it easy to stay powered up and connected on the go. And for Chapel Hill drivers, the standard Honda Sensing suite of safety and driver-assistive technologies provides added peace of mind.
