More Power, More Adventure: 2026 Passport TrailSport's New V6 Engine and AWD System Tackle Tough Trails

Honda continues to push the boundaries of its highly anticipated 2026 Passport TrailSport, positioning it as the most adventure-ready and capable SUV in the company's lineup. Set to arrive at dealerships in early 2025, this next-generation vehicle boasts significant upgrades in power, design, and off-road performance.

The 2026 Passport TrailSport comes equipped with an all-new DOHC 3.5-litre V6 engine, paired with a robust 10-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain combination promises enhanced performance both on and off the road. Adding to its off-road prowess is the standard best-in-class torque vectoring i-VTM4 all-wheel-drive system, designed to tackle challenging terrains with ease.

Visually, the new Passport TrailSport makes a bold statement with its rugged design. The front fascia features "PASSPORT" boldly embossed below the upper grille, while TrailSport-exclusive amber daytime running lights add a distinctive touch. The overall silhouette is boxier, with a flatter roofline and a more upright tail, complemented by enhanced roof rails for added utility.

Honda engineers are currently putting the TrailSport through rigorous testing across various North American landscapes. From the red rocks of Moab to the sandy dunes of western Michigan and the muddy trails of Appalachia, the vehicle is being pushed to its limits to ensure it lives up to its adventure-ready promise.

While much of the information is still under lock and key, the new Passport TrailSport is expected to build upon the off-road capabilities of its predecessor. Potential features may include all-terrain tires, a lift kit, unique stabilizer bars, and protective skid plates, similar to those found on the Pilot TrailSport.

As development continues, Honda enthusiasts and off-road adventurers alike can look forward to the full reveal of the 2026 Passport and Passport TrailSport this fall. With its combination of rugged design, advanced powertrain, and enhanced off-road capabilities, the new Passport TrailSport aims to set a new standard in the adventure SUV segment.
