Pursue Adventure in the New Honda Passport for Sale

The Honda Passport for sale has evolved into a truly rugged midsize SUV with a boxier, more aggressive stance. Used Passports, the previous generation (2019–2025), have a legacy as a Car and Driver Editors’ Choice favorite. Building on this foundation, the all-new 2026 redesign takes adventure further with a more powerful engine, a new 10-speed transmission, and the most off-road-capable TrailSport ever built.

Maintaining its edge, the Passport continues to lead its class in utility. The Honda SUV offers a massive 44 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row, dwarfing competitors like the Subaru Outback.

Passport Model Year Comparison

2019–2021: The Return of the Legend

2019: Honda revived the Passport as a rugged, two-row midsize SUV with a 285-hp V6 and class-leading cargo space. It immediately won over critics for its "adventure-ready" ground clearance and standard Honda Sensing® safety suite.
2020: Building on its debut success, this year saw the 8-inch Display Audio touchscreen with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ become more widely available across the trim lineup.
2021: The 8-inch touchscreen and smartphone integration became standard on all trims, ensuring even the base Sport model felt modern and connected.

2022–2025: The Rugged Refinement

2022: This year marked a significant styling refresh with a new, "truck-like" front end and the debut of the TrailSport trim, featuring a wider track and more aggressive off-road aesthetics.
2023: Honda made the i-VTM4® All-Wheel Drive system standard on every trim level (EX-L, TrailSport, and Elite).
2024: The luxury-focused Black Edition replaced the Elite trim, offering darkened exterior accents and a premium red-stitched interior, while the TrailSport received further suspension tuning for better off-road handling.
2025: As the final year of its generation, the 2025 model refined its standard tech and cargo features, serving as the "peak" version of the classic Passport design.

2026: The Next Generation

2026: Completely redesigned, the new SUV has a boxier, "rugged-first" architecture and a more powerful 285-hp engine. It introduces a new 10-speed transmission, a high-tech 12.3-inch screen with Google built-in, and the most capable TrailSport Elite in Honda history.

New Honda Passport Trim Levels

The 2026 lineup introduces refined trims like the RTL, TrailSport, and TrailSport Elite.

RTL: Comes standard with leather-trimmed upholstery, a power moonroof, and a new 12.3-inch touchscreen featuring Google built-in.
TrailSport: The heart of the lineup, featuring all-terrain tires, off-road tuned suspension, and steel skid plates.
TrailSport Elite: The ultimate adventure rig with a 12-speaker Bose audio system, ventilated front seats, and the TrailWatch™ camera system to help navigate tricky terrain.

Honda Passport vs CR-V and Pilot

Choosing the right Honda SUV comes down to how you plan to use it:

Passport vs CR-V: While the CR-V is a fantastic, fuel-efficient compact, the Passport offers a significant power jump with its 285-horsepower V6. The Passport provides over 15 cubic feet more total passenger volume and a much higher towing capacity (5,000 lbs vs. 1,500 lbs).

Passport vs Pilot: The Pilot is for those who need a third row. However, if you don't need to seat eight, the Passport is the better "overlander." It features a shorter wheelbase for better maneuverability off-road and more dedicated cargo space for gear since it isn't sharing that room with a third-row seat.

What are Honda Passport’s Resale Values?

Passports typically rank in the top 10 percent for midsize SUVS for resale value. Historically it loses only about 41 percent of its value compared to the more typical 47 percent for more midsize SUVs. Like any vehicle, depreciation is greatest at the one year mark; however, the curve flattens at year three, making a new Passport a really good investment. Likewise, this same fact makes a certified pre-owned model a good value for the used car buyer.

How Do New and Used Passport Prices Compare?

Entry level Passports start at just under $45,000; used Passports start at around $20,000 for a 2019 model. Of course these numbers are just baseline figures. Here’s a bit more to help clarify:

New 2026 Models: The all-new, redesigned 2026 Honda Passport starts at an MSRP of approximately $44,950 for the well-equipped RTL trim. For drivers seeking maximum off-road capability, the TrailSport starts around $48,650, while the top-tier TrailSport Elite begins at roughly $52,650.

Most Recent Model Years (2024–2025): If you are looking for the last of the previous generation, remaining new 2025 inventory typically starts in the low $42,000s.

Used Honda Passport Prices: Late-model certified pre-owned (CPO) units from 2023 or 2024 generally fall between $31,000 and $36,000, offering a significant discount over a brand-new SUV while still providing modern tech and safety features. Certified pre-owned Passports offer exceptional value. You can often find early models (2019–2021) ranging from $20,000 to $26,000 depending on mileage and condition.
