Honda Passport

The 2026 SUV market features a notable redesign with the hybrid-only Toyota RAV4 as well as all-new EVs like the Rivian R2 and Subaru Trailseeker. Favorites like the Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride also get significant redesigns.

For our Best Car of the Year award, our watchwords are quality, innovation and value.

The best SUV offers practical utility and the comfort of a raised seating position.

After driving the Honda Passport TrailSport Elite for a bit, we wondered: Is it a more sensible choice than the 2025 Toyota 4Runner TRD Off-Road Premium?

There are lots of choices among the cheaper-to-buy-and-drive mid-size SUVs that, when properly configured, can safely tow at least 5,000 pounds.

Honda completely redesigned the 2026 Passport, giving it rugged and boxy styling while significantly increasing the TrailSport version’s off-road capabilities.

Now, after nearly seven months of teasers and drips of information, the 2026 Honda Passport is arriving at dealerships with a base price $2,350 more than its predecessor.

Honda is going to squeeze in a run of model-year 2025 Passports, but with redesigned 2026 models inbound to make the 2025 look outdated, buyers will have a strong negotiating position.
