Serving Mt. Juliet, TN
The 2026 Honda Passport arrives with bold performance, design, and technology upgrades, making it an exciting choice for SUV enthusiasts in Mt. Juliet, TN. The Passport has been a popular midsize two-row SUV positioned between the Honda CR-V and the Honda Pilot. With the 2026 model year bringing structural and feature enhancements, how does it compare to the 2025 Honda Passport? Let’s take a closer look.
Performance
The 2026 Honda Passport features an upgraded, stiffer chassis—the same one used in Honda’s light-duty trucks—offering enhanced stability and control. It also boasts a newly introduced 10-speed automatic transmission, replacing the 9-speed system from 2025. While both model years are equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 engine, the 2026 Passport sees a slight power increase from 280 to 285 horsepower.
For improved handling and capability, the 2026 Passport also comes with larger brake rotors, enhanced calipers, and an increased ground clearance of 8.3 inches. Both model years include multiple standard drive modes designed for various terrains, including snow, sand, and mud, making them great choices for adventure seekers in Mt. Juliet, TN.

Additional updates include improved roof rails, redesigned fender flares, and a revamped front fascia. Both models offer available features like a hands-free power liftgate, all-terrain tires, and heated, power-folding side mirrors.
