Local Appeal: Kamloops Adventure-Ready
A Passport to Adventure
The 2026 Honda Passport debuts with a bold new identity that blends rugged capability with refined comfort. Redesigned under Honda’s visionary “Born Wild” philosophy, this two-row midsize SUV is aimed at adventure lovers—especially in outdoor-heavy regions like Kamloops, BC. Whether you're navigating gravel roads en route to the Monashee Mountains or cruising city streets, the Passport offers unmatched versatility.
Kamloops’ unique terrain makes the 2026 Passport a natural fit. Gravel roads leading to the Monashee Mountains or Shuswap Lake are handled with ease, thanks to AWD, high ground clearance, and off-road drive modes. Hauling equipment for a ski weekend at Sun Peaks or setting out on a fishing trip to Clearwater is made easy with the Passport’s generous cargo space and towing capability.
Winter conditions are no match for the Passport, with features like Snow mode, all-terrain tires, and torque-vectoring AWD ensuring stable, confident driving across icy and slushy roads. Whether you’re commuting to work in downtown Kamloops or setting off for a long weekend in Manning Park, the 2026 Passport adapts to your lifestyle.
Why Choose Kamloops Honda for Your 2026 Passport
The 2026 Honda Passport defines what a mid-size adventure SUV should be: a tough, V6-powered companion for both asphalt and Alberta wilderness. With cutting-edge AWD tech, trail-ready suspension, and family-friendly interior space, it’s primed for BC adventurers and weekly drives.

Exterior Design: Rugged and Refined
The Passport sports a commanding, chiseled stance—noticeably more rugged with shorter front overhangs and a squared-off rear roofline designed for gear storage. TrailSport trims add signature amber LED lighting, aggressive bumpers, reinforced skid plates, and steel recovery hooks for true off-road authenticity. Ground clearance jumps to 8.3 inches, supported by an improved approach angle of approximately 23 degrees, helping when handling rocky trails.
Standard 18-inch wheels on TrailSport trims ride on beefy all-terrain tires (275/60R18) that inspire confidence off pavement. A wider track and 2.8-inch longer wheelbase offer improved stability and a more refined stance, making it as stylish on Kamloops city streets as it is at a secluded trailhead.
Exclusive TrailSport colours like Sunset Orange and Ash Green Metallic highlight its rugged personality, while a Blackout package is available for those who prefer a stealthy, monochrome look.

Powertrain & Performance: V6 Muscle Meets Intelligent AWD
Every 2026 Passport is equipped with a naturally aspirated 3.5L V6 generating approximately 285 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. Power is routed through a smooth 10-speed automatic transmission that balances performance and efficiency, making highway merges or towing through the Rockies a seamless task.
The Passport is equipped with Honda’s second-generation i‑VTM4® torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive system, delivering quicker torque distribution between the rear wheels for added traction and stability. Multiple drive modes—Normal, Sport, Eco, Snow, Trail, Sand, and Tow—allow drivers to tailor performance based on terrain and driving style.
TrailSport trims come with an off-road-tuned suspension, recovery hooks, reinforced skid plates, and hill descent control. The top-tier TrailSport Elite adds TrailWatch™ camera and Trail Info digital gauges, providing pitch, roll, elevation, and compass data—essential for navigating Kamloops’ backcountry.

Sizing & Versatility: Room for Gear, Crew & More
The Passport’s two-row configuration offers a spacious interior with 40.9 inches of rear legroom—ample space for adults, kids, or adventure gear. It provides 44 cubic feet of cargo room behind the second row, expanding to 84 cubic feet with the seats folded flat. This capacity rivals that of larger three-row SUVs, delivering incredible flexibility.
Storage is smartly designed, with modular underfloor bins and optional accessories like a stowable picnic table that also serves as a cargo shelf. Roof racks with a 165 lb capacity, rock sliders, and front scuff plates (available via HPD accessories) make it easy to haul bikes, kayaks, or rooftop tents.
Class III towing capability allows the Passport to haul up to 5,000 lbs, plenty for boats, trailers, or off-road toys. Features like trailer sway control and an integrated hitch add convenience and confidence on long hauls.

Comfort & Technology:
Adventure Meets Everyday Refinement
The Passport’s interior is designed with a focus on both rugged durability and premium comfort. Leather-trimmed seats with trail-ready bolsters, orange stitching in TrailSport trims, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel set the tone for a cabin built to impress. The TrailSport Elite features two-tone leather (orange/black), embroidered headrests, and a panoramic sunroof for added luxury.
Technology is a central theme in the 2026 Passport. A 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster displays off-road data, drive modes, and multimedia information. A 12.3-inch infotainment screen comes with Google built-in, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Other conveniences include a wireless charging pad, USB-C ports front and rear, and a 120V outlet in the TrailSport Elite.
Dual-zone climate control is standard, with rear vents and heated outboard seats available in higher trims. An optional Bose 12-speaker system delivers immersive audio, and an acoustic windshield combined with insulated panels ensures a quiet cabin, even in rugged terrain.

Confidence on Any Terrain
Efficiency & Driving Dynamics: Balanced for All Roads
Trim Levels: Simplified and Focused
Fuel efficiency remains competitive, with TrailSport trims delivering an estimated 11.4 L/100km combined. Despite its increased off-road hardware, the Passport maintains excellent on-road manners thanks to independent front and multi-link rear suspension.
Reviewers have praised its high-speed stability and body control. Whether navigating winding mountain roads or cruising Highway 1 through Kamloops, the Passport strikes a balance between adventure readiness and daily comfort.
Honda has streamlined the 2026 Passport lineup to focus on what matters most: off-road capability and interior refinement. In Canada, all models reflect the TrailSport ethos, with increasing levels of comfort and technology available as you move up the range.
The TrailSport trim introduces the enhanced off-road gear, all-terrain tires, and rugged styling. Moving up, the TrailSport Elite adds more sophisticated tech, luxury finishes, and trail-specific driver aids, including the TrailWatch™ camera system.
The 2026 Honda Passport is built on a more rigid structure, with a 72% increase in front lateral rigidity and a 50% improvement in rear torsional stiffness, boosting safety and ride stability. Honda Sensing® is standard across the lineup, featuring Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, Forward Collision Mitigation, and Traffic Sign Recognition.
TrailSport trims benefit further from underbody protection, skid plates, recovery hooks, and hill descent control. These features contribute to safety and control in off-road and slippery conditions, ensuring peace of mind on every journey.
