Rugged Capability Meets Everyday Comfort

If you're in the market for a midsize SUV balancing off-road prowess with everyday practicality, you can find it in the all-new 2026 Honda Passport, now available at Neil Huffman Honda. 

With design updates, advanced tech features, and greater capability, the 2026 Honda Passport establishes itself as a top choice in the rugged SUV segment. 

Whether commuting around Louisville, KY, or planning your next outdoor adventure in Southern Indiana or elsewhere in Kentuckiana, this SUV delivers a driving experience that’s equal parts comfort and confidence.

In this blog, we’ll dive into what makes the 2026 Honda Passport a standout SUV, covering its performance, technology, safety, and design, among other features.

Rugged by Nature, Refined by Design

The 2026 Honda Passport is for drivers who embrace adventure, which can be seen in Honda's choice to bring journalists to Puerto Rico for a demonstration of this SUV's capabilities in a jungle. 

Though you may not be planning on taking this vehicle for a spin in a jungle, the athletic exterior styling nonetheless demonstrates the commitment to ruggedness. 

Rock sliders protect the side body of the vehicle to prevent denting and scruffing. Front scuff plate similarly protects the engine and undercarriage from any debris that could cause damage while offroading. 

A splash-guard set and door-sill-protection film also help keep the vehicle's exterior firm. 

Getting the TrailSport trim nets you 18-inch wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires, off-road tuned suspension, and skid plates, among other features for tackling trails, gravel, mud, and snow. Also, its towing capacity of 5,000 pounds is also a bonus. 

Power and Performance Where It Counts

Under the hood, the 2026 Honda Passport has a 3.5L V6 engine, delivering a robust 285 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. That pairs well with the i-VTM4® All-Wheel-Drive System. Plus, there is a smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission with shift-by-wire and paddle shifters. 

The result is quick acceleration, great traction, and responsive handling in various conditions. 

Whether you're dealing with icy Kentucky winters or a rainy afternoon in the Cumberlands, this vehicle is designed to keep you in control.

Smart Technology for Modern Lifestyles

Honda has made tech a priority in the 2026 Honda Passport so that drivers are able to stay connected, entertained, and informed wherever they go. 

At the heart of the dashboard is an upgraded 12.3-inch color touchscreen infotainment system with a new, faster interface and wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration. 

12-volt power outlets throughout the vehicle helps the driver and passengers alike stay connected. 

A nine-speaker audio system, including a subwoofer, makes for excellent sound design. That can get even better with the available Bose® Premium Sound System with 12 speakers, which also includes a subwoofer. 

A 10.2-inch digital information cluster gives you real-time access to speed, driving mode, turn-by-turn directions, and vehicle alerts. Available features like a wireless phone charger, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, and connectivity options for Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™.

USB-C ports are now standard for both front and rear passengers. A refined tri-zone automatic climate control system with humidity control and air filtration helps everyone ride in comfort.

A Commitment to Safety: Honda Sensing® Suite

The 2026 Honda Passport has the Honda Sensing® suite, which includes:

• Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™) with Advanced Pedestrian Detection

• Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM) 

• Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow

• Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)

• Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR)

In addition to these features, this year's model includes Traffic Jam Assist, which maintains a following distance behind the vehicle in front and adjusts the speed according to that vehicle.

Also, there is an improved blind-spot information system with lane-change assist.
