New & Used 2026 Honda Passport for Sale nearCharlottesville, VA

How much does the 2026 Honda Passport cost?

Prices have softened 2.88% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 966 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare.

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 package. The 2026 Passport is positioned as a comfortable, family-friendly crossover with a spacious interior, generous cargo capacity, and user-friendly technology, while also aiming at buyers who want more lifestyle and light off-road capability than a typical pavement-focused SUV.

The standout strength is Form and function at 10/10.

The trade-offs are clear: it still lacks key off-road hardware, including a locking differential and low-range 4WD, and it carries a high price tag. Even so, if you want a roomy two-row SUV that blends everyday usability with added capability, this model year fits that brief well.

34.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which suggests there are some attractive opportunities if you shop carefully.

Is the 2026 Honda Passport reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction. The 2026 Passport is described as a well-rounded crossover with a strong V6, straightforward usability, and a design that prioritizes practical family use. Its powertrain is also presented as a cleaner evolution of the previous setup, with the engine changes focused more on emissions improvement than on dramatic mechanical complexity.

Honda Safety Sense 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 comes with eight standard airbags.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that the Passport’s appeal depends on accepting its fuel-economy and off-road compromises alongside its strengths.

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

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 93.9% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a vehicle history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a TrailSport or a higher-mileage example. Focus on overall condition, signs of hard use, and whether the equipment on the specific listing matches the trim you want.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Passport is sold in RTL, TrailSport, and TrailSport Elite trims. The RTL is the most straightforward choice, while the TrailSport adds a more rugged setup and the TrailSport Elite brings the most upscale equipment. If you want the best value, the TrailSport is the one to compare most closely against the others.
• Powertrain: Every trim uses a naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6 with a 10-speed automatic transmission and standard AWD. Honda says the setup delivers strong power, but it also notes that fuel economy remains a weak point.
• Safety package: Every trim gets 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. There are no trim-level safety gaps called out.
• Infotainment: You get a 12.3-inch touchscreen, Google Built-in, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless phone charging, a Wi-Fi hotspot, four USB-C ports, and a 10.2-inch digital driver display. The TrailSport Elite adds a 12-speaker Bose stereo and TrailWatch camera system.
• Fuel efficiency: The RTL is rated at 19 mpg city, 25 highway, and 21 combined, while the TrailSport and TrailSport Elite are rated at 18 mpg city, 23 highway, and 20 combined.

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 most affordable path into the redesigned Passport, and it still gives you standard AWD, the 12.3-inch touchscreen, Google Built-in, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the full Honda Safety Sense suite. If you want the core Passport experience without paying for extra off-road or luxury equipment, this is the trim to start with.
• TrailSport: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds the more rugged hardware and character that define the new Passport’s appeal. It also gets the tow hitch standard, and it’s the trim that best matches the model’s more adventurous positioning.
• TrailSport Elite: This is the pick if you want the most upscale Passport, with the 12-speaker Bose stereo, TrailWatch camera system, and the most premium interior presentation. It makes sense if you want the most features and are willing to pay for them.

Honda Safety Sense is standard across the lineup, so you don’t need to move up a trim just to get 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 with some leverage if you’re patient and compare listings carefully.

• Deal availability: 34.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 966 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.88% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 93.9% 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 $47,302 sits slightly below last year's $48,705.

That kind of price movement suggests the market has eased a bit, which can help you buy more confidently now. For a future seller, it also means you should expect resale value to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and how well the vehicle is equipped. Well-kept examples with desirable trim content should hold up better than rougher or less-equipped ones.

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 rated by the major crash-test agencies, so there isn’t a current crash-test lead to cite here.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

Honda Safety Sense is standard on every trim and 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:

• 34.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 93.9% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.88% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2026 model year brings a major redesign that makes the Passport feel nearly all-new, with a more aspirational look, a roomier and more user-friendly cabin, and improved off-road intent.

The bottom line: If you want the newest Passport with the most up-to-date design, tech, and capability, the 2026 is the right direction. If you’re more price-sensitive, a nearby model year may still make sense, but you’ll be giving up the redesigned look and the latest equipment that define this version.
