Compare 2026 vs 2025 Honda Passport

Performance

The 2026 Honda Passport rides on a more rigid chassis—borrowed from Honda's light-duty trucks—enhancing its stability and handling. Another notable upgrade is the introduction of a 10-speed automatic transmission, replacing the 9-speed system in the 2025 model. Both versions house a powerful 3.5-liter V6 engine, but the 2026 Passport gets a slight horsepower boost from 280 to 285.

Additional performance enhancements for the 2026 model include larger brake rotors, upgraded calipers, and an increased ground clearance of 8.3 inches—making it even more capable for off-road adventures near Chattanooga, TN. Both model years come equipped with multiple terrain modes for snow, sand, and mud, ensuring a confident driving experience in any condition.

Appearance

The 2025 Honda Passport features a rugged yet refined exterior with a rounded front end, sculpted body lines, and prominent rear fenders. Its wedge-shaped headlights blend seamlessly with the grille, creating a sporty aesthetic.

In contrast, the 2026 Passport adopts a bolder, more aggressive stance with a taller and flatter nose, a newly designed grille, and amber-outlined headlights that integrate directly into the grille. Additional exterior updates include improved roof rails, redesigned fender flares, and a revamped front fascia. Both models offer available features like a hands-free power liftgate, all-terrain tires, and heated, power-folding side mirrors.

Features

The 2026 Passport introduces several interior upgrades, including a larger infotainment touchscreen, standard heated seats, a heated windshield, and an optional built-in picnic table—perfect for outdoor adventures near Chattanooga.

Standard and available features across both model years include:

• Driver's memory settings

• Moonroof
• Three-zone climate control system
• Forward collision mitigation
• Parking sensors
• Rear window sunshades
