Pros

1. Towing and Payload Capacity  Towing is a significant strength of the 2026 Honda Passport. The SUV boasts a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds, which is more than rival SUVs like the Hyundai Santa Fe (3,500 lbs) and the Chevy Blazer (4,500 lbs). 2. Second Generation i-VTM4 AWD  Honda has improved its powerful AWD system with increased torque capacity and quicker response time. You can also expect more stability on uneven terrain than in previous model years, thanks to the i-VM4 system. 3. Improved Interior  Interior updates from last year include a larger infotainment screen as well as standard heated seats. Heated and ventilated front seats are available to get you comfortable in any weather. Multiple 12-volt power outlets and a 115-volt power outlet will keep all of your electronic equipment charged and ready to go.

Cons

1. Fuel Economy Is Not Great  The 2026 Honda Passport isn't the most efficient SUV available, with fuel economy estimates of 19 mpg city and 25 mpg highway. To make up for this lack of efficiency, the Passport offers some of the best off-road capabilities across the entire Honda lineup. 2. No Third Row  Unlike many mid-size SUVs in its class, the 2026 Honda Passport doesn't offer a third row of seating. Families with more than five members or those who frequently transport large groups will need to look elsewhere for additional passenger capacity.
