From Moab to Appalachia: All-New 2026 Passport TrailSport Conquers Diverse Terrain

Honda continues developing its most capable SUV to date, the all-new 2026 Passport TrailSport. Set to arrive in Canadian dealerships in early 2025, this next-generation vehicle promises unparalleled off-road performance and adventure-ready features.

The automaker revealed that the 2026 Passport TrailSport is undergoing rigorous testing across North America's most challenging terrains. From the iconic red rocks of Moab to the sandy dunes of western Michigan and the muddy trails of Appalachia, Honda engineers are pushing the limits of the vehicle's capabilities.

At the heart of the new Passport TrailSport is a powerful DOHC 3.5-litre V6 engine, paired with a high-strength 10-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain combination aims to provide the perfect balance of performance and efficiency for both on-road and off-road driving scenarios.

One of the standout features of the 2026 Passport TrailSport is its standard best-in-class torque-vectoring i-VTM4 all-wheel drive system. This advanced technology is expected to significantly enhance the vehicle's traction and handling in various driving conditions, further cementing its position as Honda's most capable SUV.

The exterior design of the new Passport TrailSport showcases a bold and rugged aesthetic. Teaser images reveal a unique front fascia featuring "PASSPORT" lettering prominently displayed below the upper grille. TrailSport-exclusive amber daytime running lights add a distinctive touch to the vehicle's appearance.

Although specifics remain undisclosed, pictures show us that the 2026 Passport TrailSport will boast a boxier silhouette with a flatter roofline and upright tail than its predecessor. Enhanced roof rails are also expected, catering to outdoor enthusiasts who require ample storage for adventure gear.

Off-road enthusiasts can look forward to targeted improvements in the vehicle's performance on challenging terrain. Although not confirmed, we can expect the inclusion of all-terrain tires and additional protective features such as skid plates, similar to those found on the Pilot TrailSport model.

The full reveal of the 2026 Passport and Passport TrailSport is scheduled for fall 2024, with more comprehensive specifications, feature sets, and pricing details to be announced at that time.
