New & Used 2026 Honda Passport for Sale nearPontiac, IL

How much does the 2026 Honda Passport cost?

Prices have softened 2.79% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 988 listings available, which suggests you have a workable amount of inventory to compare. If you find a listing below $46,171.14, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2026 Honda Passport a good car?

Yes — you’re looking at a 5/5 user-rated SUV with an expert rating of 7.83/10. The standout strength is Form and function at 10/10.

The 2026 Honda Passport is a redesigned two-row SUV aimed at aspirational lifestyle buyers, and it backs that up with a spacious interior, strong cargo utility, and easy-to-use technology. It also leans more adventurous than before, with improved off-road capability and a more rugged character than the outgoing model.

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. For you, that means it makes the most sense if you want a comfortable, practical SUV with extra capability rather than a hardcore trail rig.

34.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

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 redesigned model with a new exterior, interior, engine, and trunk, and its overall package emphasizes usability and practicality. Its powertrain is a naturally aspirated V6 paired with a 10-speed automatic, and the expert notes say the engine provides terrific power while the transmission operates unobtrusively.

Honda also includes a broad set of standard driver-assistance features and eight airbags, which supports everyday confidence. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that the Passport’s high purchase price and poor 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 93.9% — 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, tire wear, and signs of hard use if the SUV was driven on rough roads or used for towing.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The RTL is the most straightforward choice if you want quieter all-season tires and standard Passport basics, while TrailSport models lean into the more adventurous look and feel with a more visually appealing interior. TrailSport Elite adds the most upscale cabin treatment and extra trail-focused visibility, so it suits you best if you want the most equipment and are willing to pay for it.
• Powertrain: Every trim uses a naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6 with 285 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic. Honda’s i-VTM4 all-wheel drive system is standard across the lineup, and the Passport also offers seven drive modes.
• Safety package: Every Passport comes with Honda Safety Sense, including 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. Eight airbags are standard as well.
• Infotainment: You get a 12.3-inch touchscreen with Google Built-in, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, and a wireless phone charger. A Wi-Fi hotspot, four USB-C ports, and a 10.2-inch digital driver display are standard, while 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 TrailSport and TrailSport Elite are rated at 18/23/20.

Which 2026 Honda Passport trim should I buy?

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

Here's the short version:

• RTL: This is the value pick if you want the Passport’s core strengths without paying for the most off-road-focused hardware. It still gives you standard AWD, the 12.3-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone integration, and the full Honda Safety Sense suite, while also returning the best fuel economy in the lineup.
• TrailSport: This is the best fit if you want the Passport’s more adventurous personality. It adds the more trail-ready setup, skid plates, and the off-road-oriented character that matches the model’s rugged redesign, making it the trim that best balances capability and price.
• TrailSport Elite: Choose this if you want the most premium Passport experience. It adds the richest equipment mix, including the 12-speaker Bose stereo and TrailWatch camera system, and it’s the trim to buy if you want the most comfort and trail visibility.

Honda Safety Sense is standard across the lineup, so you don’t need to move up a trim for the core safety 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: 34.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 988 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.79% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 93.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $46,171.14, 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 $47,471 sits slightly below last year's $48,833.

That softer pricing suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable entry point. If you plan to resell later, the Passport’s value will depend on how well it holds buyer interest against its high price and fuel economy drawbacks. Its strong utility, redesigned appeal, and broad equipment list should help support demand, especially for well-kept examples.

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?

Honda equips every 2026 Passport with Honda Safety Sense, the company’s suite of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). These feature suites are increasingly common in the marketplace, and the Passport’s ADAS collection mirrors much of what you’ll get from the competition: automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning and lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control. In addition to these features, the Passport also includes traffic-jam assist, traffic-sign recognition, and low-speed braking control, a feature specifically designed to apply the brakes when the Passport’s camera system identifies objects in the vehicle’s way.

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

Honda also equips the Passport with eight standard airbags. One caveat is that crash testing for this model year has not yet been completed, so you should treat the safety picture as promising but still developing for used-shopping purposes.

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 2.79% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• Redesigned for the 2026 model year, it now targets aspirational lifestyle SUVs with a more adventurous character and a much more modern cabin.

The bottom line: If you want the newest Passport with the strongest mix of space, tech, and rugged styling, the 2026 is the one to focus on. If your priority is spending less, a nearby older model year may still make sense, especially if you can live with less of the redesign’s fresh appeal and equipment.
