2026 Honda Passport vs 2025 Honda Passport
Serving Nashville, TN
The 2026 Honda Passport introduces bold performance, design, and technology upgrades, making it a top choice for SUV enthusiasts in Nashville, TN. This midsize two-row SUV sits between the Honda CR-V and the Honda Pilot, and the latest enhancements make it even more capable and stylish. But how does the 2026 model compare to the 2025 Honda Passport? Let's break down the key differences.
Performance
The 2026 Honda Passport features an improved, more rigid chassis—borrowed from Honda's light-duty trucks—for enhanced stability and handling. Another major update is its new 10-speed automatic transmission, replacing the 9-speed system from 2025. While both model years house a powerful 3.5-liter V6 engine, the 2026 Passport gets a slight boost in power from 280 to 285 horsepower.
In addition, the 2026 Passport has larger brake rotors, improved calipers, and an increased ground clearance of 8.3 inches, making it even better suited for off-road adventures. Both model years include multiple drive modes—such as snow, sand, and mud—ensuring confidence on various terrains around Nashville, TN.
Appearance
The 2025 Honda Passport features a sleek yet rugged exterior, with a rounded front end, bold body lines, and well-defined rear fenders. Its wedge-like headlights integrate seamlessly into the grille, giving it a modern and sporty look.
The 2026 Passport, however, takes on a more aggressive stance with a taller and flatter nose, a newly designed grille, and amber-outlined headlights that extend directly from the reshaped grille. Additional updates include enhanced roof rails, bolder fender flares, and a revamped front fascia, further elevating its road presence. Both models offer available features such as a hands-free power liftgate, all-terrain tires, and heated, power-folding side mirrors.
Features
The 2026 Passport receives notable upgrades, including a larger infotainment touchscreen, standard heated seats, a heated windshield, and an optional built-in picnic table—perfect for outdoor adventures.
Other standard and available features across both model years include:
- Driver's memory settings
- Wireless smartphone charging
- Moonroof
- Three-zone climate control system
- Forward collision mitigation
- Parking sensors
- Rear window sunshades
- Navigation system
