Featuring all-new bodywork, new paint colors, and even a new engine, this model is bigger and better than before! But just how different is the 2026 Passport from the 2025 model? If you know you want to take home a Passport but just don’t know which model year to choose, read the following guide from Boardwalk Honda. We’ll walk you through the changes in performance, overall size, and cabin space!

2025 Vs. 2026 Honda Passport: Performance

Under the hood of the 2026 Honda Passport is the all-new DOHC 3.5L V6 engine. As the most powerful Honda V6 ever offered in the U.S. market, this powertrain is responsive and refined for your ventures around Port Republic. While this is an exciting engine upgrade, the 2026 Passport only churns out 5 more horsepower than the 2025 Passport. Both models deliver 262 lb-ft of torque and can tow up to 5,000 pounds with the proper equipment.

We recommend going for the latest model year if you’d like to enjoy an upgraded 10-speed automatic transmission, the second-generation Intelligent Variable Torque Management™ AWD system, and more unique driving modes.

Take a look at these models’ powertrain details here:

2025 Vs. 2026 Honda Passport: Seating & Cargo Space

Another difference between the 2025 and 2026 Honda Passport is the overall size. The 2026 model’s wheelbase has been extended by an impressive 2.7 inches, so its cabin is more spacious for both passengers and cargo. If you need the extra room for your Smithville drives and trip, you should opt for the 2026 Passport. Otherwise, you’ll still have plenty of space in the 2025 version!
