New & Used 2026 Honda Passport for Sale nearAurora, IL

How much does the 2026 Honda Passport cost?

Prices have softened 2.98% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 961 listings available, which gives you a solid pool to compare prices and equipment.

Is the 2026 Honda Passport a good car?

Yes — the 5/5 user rating and 7.83/10 expert rating point to a strong overall impression. The 2026 Passport is described as a well-rounded, family-friendly crossover with a spacious interior, generous cargo capacity, and user-friendly technology, while also aiming at more lifestyle-oriented rivals. The standout strength is Form and function at 10/10.

The trade-offs are clear: it still lacks key off-road hardware such as a locking differential and low-range 4WD, and it carries a high price tag. That means you should view it as a comfortable, capable two-row SUV for daily use and weekend adventures, not as a hardcore off-roader.

34.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so there is some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2026 Honda Passport reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction. The Passport’s redesign is paired with a familiar naturally aspirated V6, a 10-speed automatic, and standard all-wheel drive, which supports the sense that it is built for straightforward, durable everyday use. Honda also says the powertrain reduces emissions while keeping the SUV’s strong, low-stress character.

The Passport’s standard equipment list also includes a wireless phone charger, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and four USB-C ports, which can help reduce ownership friction over time. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that its higher purchase price and modest fuel economy can make it more expensive to live with than some rivals.

What should I look for when buying a used 2026 Honda Passport?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 93.8% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a vehicle history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you are considering a TrailSport or TrailSport Elite that may have seen rougher use. Focus on tire wear, underbody condition, and signs of trail damage or towing stress, since this model is positioned for more adventurous driving than a typical crossover.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Passport is sold in RTL, TrailSport, and TrailSport Elite. The RTL is the most straightforward choice, while the TrailSport adds the more rugged visual and capability-focused setup, and the TrailSport Elite layers on the most premium equipment. If you want the best value, the TrailSport is the trim that most clearly balances added capability with equipment.
• Powertrain: Every trim uses a naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6 with a 10-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive. Honda says the setup delivers strong power, and the Passport also offers seven drive modes, including Normal, Econ, Snow, Sand, Sport, Trail, and Tow.
• Safety package: Every Passport comes with Honda Safety Sense, which includes automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning and lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, traffic-jam assist, traffic-sign recognition, and low-speed braking control. It also includes eight standard airbags.
• Infotainment: You get a 12.3-inch touchscreen, Google Built-in, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a wireless phone charger, a Wi-Fi hotspot, four USB-C charging ports, and a 10.2-inch digital driver display. The TrailSport Elite adds a 12-speaker Bose stereo and the TrailWatch camera system.
• Fuel efficiency: The RTL is estimated at 19 mpg city, 25 highway, and 21 combined, while the TrailSport and TrailSport Elite are estimated at 18/23/20.

Which 2026 Honda Passport trim should I buy?

The 2026 Honda Passport is offered in 3 trim levels: RTL, TrailSport, and TrailSport Elite.

Here's the short version:

• RTL: This is the trim to start with if you want the Passport’s core strengths without paying for extra off-road or luxury equipment. It still gets standard all-wheel drive, the 12.3-inch touchscreen, Google Built-in, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the full Honda Safety Sense suite, making it the most value-focused choice.
• TrailSport: This is the best-value trim if you want the Passport’s more adventurous personality. It adds the more off-road-focused hardware and styling, plus skid plates and improved approach and departure angles, while keeping the same basic powertrain and standard safety tech.
• TrailSport Elite: Choose this if you want the most upscale Passport. It adds the 12-speaker Bose stereo, TrailWatch camera system, and more premium interior materials, but it is the priciest route.

Honda Safety Sense is standard across the lineup, so you do not need to move up a trim for the core driver-assistance package.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2026 Honda Passport?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop carefully and still find opportunities.

• Deal availability: 34.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.98% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 93.8% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $46,171, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2026 Honda Passport's resale value?

The current average of $47,222 sits slightly below last year's $48,674.

That decline suggests the market has eased a bit, which can help you buy more confidently now, but it also means future sellers may face some price pressure if the trend continues. The Passport’s strong equipment, roomy cabin, and broad appeal should help support demand, especially for well-kept examples with desirable trim content. If you buy at the right price and keep the vehicle in clean condition, you should be in a better position when it is time to sell.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2026 Honda Passport safe?

The 2026 Honda Passport has not yet been fully crash tested by the major agencies, so there is no current IIHS or NHTSA rating to cite for this model year. It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

Honda Safety Sense is standard, and it includes automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning and lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, traffic-jam assist, traffic-sign recognition, and low-speed braking control. The Passport also comes with eight standard airbags.

Should I buy a 2026 Honda Passport or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2026 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2026 if:

• 34.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 93.8% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.98% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2026 model is a major redesign that makes the Passport feel almost entirely new, with updated styling, interior, engine, trunk, and a stronger push toward lifestyle-oriented SUV buyers.

The bottom line: If you want the newest Passport with the most up-to-date design and equipment, the 2026 is the clear path. If you are more price-sensitive, a nearby model year may still make sense, especially if you want to spend less while keeping the Passport’s core strengths of space, comfort, and everyday usability.
