2026 Honda Passport

2026 Honda Passport in Bozeman, MT

Bozeman buyers who want more off-road capability and more interior space than a compact SUV offers — without committing to a third-row footprint they don't need — will find the 2026 Honda Passport positioned exactly where that need lives. Fully redesigned with a "Born Wild" character that gave it a boxier, more trail-forward stance, standard i-VTM4® AWD, 8.4 inches of ground clearance, a 23-degree approach angle, and a 3.5-liter V6 producing 285 horsepower, the 2026 Passport is a focused two-row midsize SUV that takes Gallatin National Forest access roads, Hyalite Canyon gravel, and Beartooth Highway passes seriously. A standard 12.3-inch touchscreen, 44.0 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats, and standard Honda Sensing® complete a package that covers Bozeman daily life and Montana weekend adventure equally well.

Interior Features Where Montana Outdoor Life Finds Its Storage Solution

The Passport's redesigned cabin leads with a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen running wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Google Built-In voice integration across every trim — a meaningful upgrade over the previous generation that Bozeman buyers stepping in from older vehicles notice immediately. A 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster presents driving and vehicle data clearly at eye level on the highway between Bozeman and Big Sky and on the mountain roads above the valley. The rear seat gains 1.3 inches of additional legroom over the outgoing model, improving comfort on the longer drives between Bozeman and Billings or south through Yellowstone. Cargo volume reaches 44.0 cubic feet behind the rear seats and expands to more than 83 cubic feet with the second row folded flat — space that handles skis, camping gear, backcountry equipment, and the full-load hauls that Bozeman's outdoor-oriented buyer base carries through an active Montana calendar. Underfloor storage provides a lockable space for valuables at trailheads, a wireless charging pad keeps devices powered, and multiple USB ports cover the full passenger load on every run through the Gallatin Canyon.

Exterior Features That Communicate Capability Before the Trail Starts

The 2026 Passport's redesigned exterior opens with bold "PASSPORT" lettering across the grille, aggressive LED headlamps, and a sculpted lower fascia that give it a road presence that reads as trail-ready rather than trail-adjacent on Bozeman's streets and the mountain routes above the Gallatin Valley. Standard i-VTM4® AWD backs up the exterior's confident stance with genuine traction capability on the Gallatin National Forest access roads, the unpaved routes into Hyalite Canyon Recreation Area, and the loose gravel and spring mud that define access to Montana's backcountry destinations through most of the year. Ground clearance of 8.4 inches and a 23-degree approach angle add meaningful obstacle-clearance capability for Bozeman buyers who regularly venture off pavement. Standard roof rails provide immediate mounting capability for skis, kayaks, bikes, and roof boxes for the outdoor equipment that Bozeman buyers load regularly from October ski season through the summer climbing and hiking months.

Performance Features Ready for Gallatin Valley Roads and Montana Backcountry

A 3.5-liter V6 producing 285 horsepower pairs with a 10-speed automatic transmission for confident, composed power delivery across the full range of Montana driving conditions — from the Bozeman daily commute to the sustained grades of the Beartooth Highway and the switchbacks on the mountain roads above Bridger Bowl ski area. Standard i-VTM4® AWD distributes torque continuously between the front and rear wheels based on real-time traction feedback, keeping the Passport stable on the ice-covered sections of Highway 191 through Gallatin Canyon in winter, on the wet spring roads through the valley, and on the gravel access routes to Montana's high-country destinations. Seven selectable drive modes — Normal, Snow, Sand, Mud, and more — let Bozeman drivers dial in the Passport's behavior for the specific surface underfoot rather than relying on a single setting. Towing capacity reaches 5,000 pounds on properly equipped models, covering boats, camper trailers, and the outdoor equipment loads that Bozeman-area drivers move between the Gallatin Valley and Montana's recreational destinations.

Safety Features Standard Before Any Option Is Selected

Honda Sensing® comes standard on every 2026 Passport, providing Collision Mitigation Braking System, Road Departure Mitigation, Lane Keeping Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow, and Forward Collision Warning across the full lineup. Road Departure Mitigation provides an especially practical layer of awareness on Montana's two-lane highways south through Gallatin Canyon and north across the valley where lane markings can be absent, worn, or obscured by snow through extended stretches of the season. Blind Spot Information System and Cross Traffic Alert monitor areas around the vehicle during lane changes on I-90 and Highway 191, and during reversing maneuvers in Bozeman's commercial areas and the trailhead parking areas throughout Gallatin County. Walk Away Auto Lock® secures the Passport automatically when the driver walks away with the key fob, a practical feature at trailheads and backcountry staging areas where manual lock steps are easy to forget.
