The most obvious indication of this is the design that in many ways harkens back to the 1997-2002 second-generation model that was built by Isuzu. The new Passport has a chunkier, more squared off design with a flatter, longer hood, slightly more upright windshield and similar kick-up at the beltline toward the back of the rear doors.

It’s not all escapism, though. The 2026 Passport also features a full suite of modern safety tech including a new wider-angle camera and radar for improved forward collision warning, blind spot monitors, lane-centering steering and traffic-jam assist systems.

With a bold new design and off-roading capability, the next-generation 2026 Honda Passport brings more to the table than ever before for buyers. It's a return of sorts to the roots of the vehicle, when started as a rebadged Isuzu Rodeo in the mid-1990s.
