Honda is one of the companies with the best reputation in the US. Its image as a reliable manufacturer that develops solid and quality cars is beyond doubt. To this we must add that its offer of SUVs, all-terrain vehicles and pick-ups occupy the main sales positions thanks to the fact that they are suitable for driving on all types of terrain. One of those that has given them the most joy is honda passport and to help you improve your sales they have announced your replacement...
The current generation of the Honda Passport arrived a few years ago and its sales performance has been good. Until this year their deliveries have decreased and to avoid a major problem they will launch their replacement. To announce it, the Japanese brand has published some teasers that serve to give clues of what is to come. And although it is not seen more than it should, it is palpable that the new Passport will be more powerful and aggressive to get away from the Pilot…
The new generation of the Honda Passport is scheduled to debut with the design of the more rugged Trailsport version...
For the time being The details of the new Passport are very limited. The press release published by the brand says that…
"The development of the next generation Passport Trailsport, Honda's most capable and adventure-ready SUV yet, is underway. With a Truly rugged design, true off-road capability, next-level versatility and innovative features, the 2026 Honda Passport will arrive early next year »
Furthermore, expand the information with this data…
«As a sign of a new appetite for great adventures, the trailer shows the Exclusive Passport front with “PASSPORT” engraved boldly on the front below the upper grille and the new amber daytime running lights exclusive to TrailSport«
Therefore, the first thing we must explain is that the Passport will make its debut with the TrailSport version. If you read us you should know that it is about the most capable version with better off-road qualities of the range. Hence its presentation credentials are a rougher and more powerful front that is detached from the previous one. Therefore, it is to be expected that it has a higher ground clearance as well as a more elaborate suspension scheme.
As for the little that is seen of its front, we can say something. The optics become more square, abandoning the torn ones of the current iteration. Besides daytime running light turns orange matching the tone of Honda's TrailSport logo. Added to this are the “PASSPORT” spellings under four openings and the brand logo on the grill. Lastly, the TrailSport logo will not be missing on one of the exterior openings.
It is scheduled to debut in 2025 as a 2026 model year and will be more capable than the current one…
According to Honda in its official press release, the new Passport will arrive in 2025. It will do so as a 2026 model/year, although for now we do not know what date it will debut. Until today There are no details or photos of its interior or the mechanical offering that will enliven it.. It is foreseeable that over the next few weeks or months the firm will give its followers and media more details of the cabin and trunk as well as data on its technique.
Rumors suggest that there will be a Passport with 3.5-liter V6 naturally aspirated gasoline engine. This is the same block that the current one has, although it would be conveniently updated to provide more power and lower consumption. In that case, It would go from the current 284 HP and 355 Nm to about 300 HP managed by a 9 or 10-speed automatic gearbox. Of course, it will always be with four-wheel drive...
We will be very attentive to all the news that may come from Honda. Even more so when we know that this will be more different from the current one since seeks to distance its image from the Pilot, the model with which it shares approach and technique.
