American Honda is gearing up for a significant launch in 2026: the introduction of the new-generation Honda Passport mid-size SUV. This highly anticipated release will include the rugged TrailSport variant and a wide range of genuine accessories.
The company has been riding high on strong sales in the United States. In the first nine months of the year, Honda delivered over a million vehicles, a notable increase of almost 9%. While Acura sales experienced a slight decline, the Honda brand saw a substantial surge of 11.5%.
The Passport, along with other Honda models like the CR-V and Civic, has contributed significantly to this growth. The HR-V and Pilot have also shown impressive sales increases, demonstrating the popularity of Honda’s SUV lineup.
Honda has been teasing the upcoming Passport since July, generating excitement among enthusiasts. The company recently released images of camouflaged prototypes and is now providing media members with firsthand experiences ahead of the official launch.
The 2026 Passport TrailSport is designed to be the most capable and off-road-focused Honda SUV yet. It features enhanced off-road capabilities, new technologies, and a wide range of genuine accessories. Some of the key features include:
- Off-road upgrades: Special wheels, all-terrain tires, recovery points, and a shorter front overhang
- New technologies: TrailWatch system with multiple camera views and tire path guidelines
- Genuine accessories: Rock sliders, scuff plate, cargo accessories, and MOLLE storage system
Despite not being Honda’s top-selling model, the Passport is in need of a significant update to compete with other rugged mid-size SUVs like the Jeep Wrangler, Ford Bronco, and Toyota Land Cruiser. The 2026 Passport TrailSport aims to provide a more compelling offering in this competitive segment.
