How does the new 2026 Honda Passport TrailSport stand out?

The 2026 Honda Passport TrailSport arrives on the Canadian market with a complete redesign that emphasizes off-road capability, interior comfort and versatility. Designed to meet the needs of outdoor enthusiasts in Quebec and across the country, this mid-size SUV stands out for its rugged, adventurous approach.


A robust, assertive design


With its muscular look and new lines inspired by the "Born Wild" theme, the 2026 Passport TrailSport makes its intentions clear. An imposing new grille, wider fenders and 18-inch wheels with off-road tires accentuate its rugged look. Orange tow hooks, steel skid plates and new, improved approach and departure angles make this a vehicle ready for rugged trails and snow-covered Quebec roads alike.


A powertrain adapted to terrain


Under the hood, the new 3.5-liter V6 engine develops 285 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque. Coupled with a 10-speed automatic transmission, it delivers a smooth ride, whether on the highway or off the beaten track. The i-VTM4™ all-wheel drive system, now more responsive and powerful, intelligently distributes torque to optimize grip in all conditions. What's more, selectable driving modes, including “Trail” and “Tow”, make it easy to adapt to the nature of the terrain.


An interior designed for comfort and utility


The interior of the Passport TrailSport is spacious, technological and designed for life on the move. It features a larger rear bench seat, a large load area of up to 2,356 liters, and a host of clever storage compartments. Heated front seats with power adjustment and memory, a panoramic sliding roof, and stain-resistant synthetic leather upholstery enhance the level of comfort. The multimedia system includes a 10.2-inch digital instrument panel, a 12.3-inch central touchscreen, and wireless integration of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.


Well-equipped versions to suit all tastes


The TrailSport is available in several versions, including Touring and Blackout. The TrailSport Touring version offers top-of-the-range equipment such as ventilated seats, a heated steering wheel, a 12-speaker Bose audio system and the new TrailWatch system, a 360-degree panoramic camera that facilitates off-road driving in narrow or steep passages.


Advanced safety as standard


As always at Honda, safety is a priority. The 2026 Passport incorporates the Honda Sensing® suite with enhanced driver assistance technologies. There are also new airbags, including front knee airbags, and a cabin design that promotes protection for all occupants.


The 2026 Honda Passport TrailSport stands out for its balance of authentic off-road capability, modern comfort and assertive design. Designed for drivers looking for a vehicle ready to tackle trails, snow and long journeys, it offers a complete solution for adventures with family and friends. Quebec drivers looking for versatility and ruggedness will find it a reliable partner, summer and winter alike.
