TrailSport editions add even more capability to select rugged Honda models. In addition to adventure-inspired styling, TrailSport editions feature enhanced all-terrain capabilities, off-road-tuned suspension, greater ground clearance, underbody protection, all-terrain tires, and more.

Additionally, the all-new Passport TrailSport Elite includes new off-road tech features such as a second-generation TrailWatch™ camera system that shows front tire paths, guiding you through tougher obstacles.

Yes, Honda SUVs and trucks have higher ground clearance than other vehicles, allowing them to travel on unpaved roads. When equipped with all-wheel drive, they are capable of better handling on low-friction surfaces such as mud, sand and ice. If you’re interested in more extreme off-roading, the 2026 Passport offers new drive modes designed for trail-blazing, rock crawling, and more.

Honda all-wheel-drive (AWD) systems use sensors to determine when to send power to the rear wheels. Honda doesn’t offer a four-wheel drive (4WD) system, which is designed to deliver power to all wheels simultaneously. This can have a detrimental effect on fuel efficiency and handling.

The Honda Passport, Pilot and Ridgeline are recommended for any towing over 1,500 pounds. All three are capable of towing up to 5,000 pounds* when equipped with AWD, or 3,500 pounds without AWD.

A torque-vectoring differential uses twin clutches to deliver different amounts of torque to each wheel, based on a variety of driving conditions including steering and throttle.

A limited-slip differential offers a similar ability to shift power from side to side depending on driving conditions, but without the handling benefits of torque vectoring.

A locking differential sends equal power to both wheels, maximizing torque but creating a high level of wear and tear on tires, and also lacking the cornering ability of a torque-vectoring differential.

Torque vectoring delivers power to the outside rear wheel, helping to minimize understeer and giving the driver a more natural feel of carving through corners.

Honda has two AWD systems: the intelligent Variable Torque Management^™ (i-VTM4^®) system available on the Passport, Pilot and Ridgeline, and the Real Time AWD™ system available on the CR-V and HR-V. Both can deliver instantaneous power to the rear wheels to enhance overall stability, and the i-VTM4 system adds torque vectoring for greater side-to-side support.

The Passport, Pilot, and Ridgeline all come with Intelligent Traction Management.

Yes, the Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™, available on the Ridgeline, Pilot, CR-V, and HR-V, uses GPS with offline maps* that are preloaded on the vehicle, so they don’t require a cell-phone signal to load. Google built-in* comes standard on the 2026 Passport, including seamless navigation through Google Maps and hands-free help through Google Assistant, but requires a cell signal.

Yes, Apple CarPlay^®* and Android Auto™ compatibility* either come standard on, or are available on, all Honda models, so you can tap into your smartphone’s music, maps and more—wherever adventure takes you.

Yes, all Honda automobiles except the Prologue use the next-generation i-VTEC^® engine technology to enhance both performance and efficiency.

Traditionally, intake and exhaust valve-opening characteristics (timing, duration and lift) that work well for low-speed power production are extremely inefficient at high engine speeds, and vice versa. VTEC^® solves this by using two different sets of cam lobes to operate the valves, and i-VTEC^® improves upon it with a continuously variable cam profile. The cam profile alters the timing, duration and lift of the valves to optimize engine breathing at any engine speed.

New Vehicle Limited Warranty
Every new Honda is covered, including the 12-volt battery, for 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. The tires are warranted separately.

Powertrain Limited Warranty
The powertrain in your new Honda is covered for 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first.*

High-Voltage Battery Limited Warranty
The gradual capacity loss of the high voltage battery is expected and not covered under warranty. Degradation that falls below 75% of original value during the warranty period (8 years or 100,000 miles), as determined by an authorized Honda dealer, would be subject to repair or replacement.

Honda proudly manufactures in the United States,* with 12 plants that produce 3.5 million products annually, including more than two-thirds of the Honda and Acura vehicles sold in the U.S. in 2023.
