What's New for the 2027 Honda Passport?
For the 2027 model year, Honda significantly elevates the off-road capability of its TrailSport variants with an upgraded lifted suspension system. This enhancement provides an impressive 9.65 inches of ground clearance, allowing the midsize SUV to navigate rugged backcountry terrain with greater ease. Trail-focused tech also expands with the introduction of the advanced TrailWatch camera system and a heated steering wheel, both now standard on TrailSport models.
Aesthetic updates bring an even bolder road presence. The exterior gains functional styling upgrades, including amber hood scoop lighting and wider, more defined fender flares. Buyers can also finish the SUV in the newly introduced Smoke Blue Pearl paint option.
What Are the 2027 Passport Trims & Features?
The 2027 Passport lineup comprises six well-appointed trims: RTL, RTL Towing, TrailSport, TrailSport Blackout, TrailSport Elite, and TrailSport Elite Blackout.
Serving as the base tier, the RTL comes generously equipped for everyday driving convenience. Cabin highlights include a 12.3-inch touchscreen powered by Google built-in, heated front seating, tri-zone automatic climate control, and a nine-speaker sound system with an integrated subwoofer. Drivers looking to hook up recreational equipment can choose the RTL Towing trim, which adds an integrated Class III receiver hitch directly from the factory.
Adventurers can step up to the Passport TrailSport, which comes equipped with durable skid plates and an off-road-tuned suspension engineered for demanding excursions. For a more aggressive visual statement, the TrailSport Blackout incorporates dark exterior accents and matching 18-inch black alloy wheels.
At the luxury end, the TrailSport Elite delivers premium refinement, offering ventilated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, and a Bose premium sound system. Topping the range is the TrailSport Elite Blackout, which pairs these upscale conveniences with distinct dark exterior styling cues.

When properly equipped, the Passport offers a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds.
