Honda Canada confirmed that the redesigned 2026 Honda Passport TrailSport is now arriving at Canadian dealerships, with four trims offered: TrailSport, TrailSport Blackout, TrailSport Touring, and TrailSport Touring Blackout. Every 2026 Passport is powered by a 3.5-litre V6 making 285 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, paired with a new 10-speed automatic and standard Honda i-VTM4 torque-vectoring all-wheel drive.

Canadian pricing for the 2026 Passport TrailSport line opens at $56,990 MSRP for the TrailSport and tops out at $61,740 MSRP for the TrailSport Touring Blackout. Honda Canada’s official selling prices (which include freight, PDI, A/C charge, and dealer fees) start at $60,158 for the TrailSport and run to $64,908 for the TrailSport Touring Blackout. All four trims share the same fuel-economy rating of 12.6 L/100 km city, 9.9 highway, 11.4 combined. Honda Canada release

The 2026 redesign also brought the Passport into Honda’s award conversation for the first time. Car and Driver named the 2026 Passport to its 10Best Trucks and SUVs list, the first Passport ever to make the list and Honda’s fourth 10Best winner for 2026 alongside the Civic, Accord, and CR-V. The recognition is a useful signal that the redesigned chassis, V6, and i-VTM4 hardware hold up against more expensive midsize SUV rivals. Car and Driver

Where Passport fits in the Honda showroom

The buyer angle: The Passport TrailSport now sits between the CR-V and the Pilot as Honda’s midsize two-row V6 SUV. It is the right answer when a Vaughan family needs more ground clearance and real towing capacity than a CR-V, but does not want to step up to a three-row Pilot. The TrailSport trim is also the only Honda SUV in Canada that ships from the factory with steel skid plates, all-terrain tires, and an off-road tuned suspension, so it doubles as the family hauler and the cottage-road trip vehicle.

The powertrain choice is the more meaningful part of the brief. Honda Canada is currently selling hybrid versions of the Civic, Accord, and CR-V, but the Passport stays gas-only V6, and that is a deliberate engineering call. Midsize SUV buyers who tow a 5,000-pound trailer, drive sustained highway distances, or climb into northern Ontario cottage country on rough roads want the torque and the simpler drivetrain. A V6 Passport TrailSport can do all three; a hybrid CR-V cannot tow that much and a hybrid Pilot is not yet in showrooms.

What this changes for summer 2026 shopping

Three things matter for Vaughan buyers cross-shopping a midsize SUV right now.

First, the Passport TrailSport is the only current Honda SUV with the i-VTM4 torque-vectoring AWD system that can send up to 70% of engine torque to the rear axle and 100% of that to either rear wheel. That is the same AWD hardware that made the current Pilot the most capable Honda family hauler, and it now extends down a trim level into a vehicle that costs less to insure and uses less fuel than the Pilot.

Second, the 2026 redesign grew the wheelbase by 70 mm and widened the tracks by 33 mm in front and 38 mm in the rear. Rear seat legroom and cargo volume both went up. For a family upgrading out of a CR-V, the rear-seat comfort and cargo behind the second row are real upgrades, not just marketing claims.

Third, the Passport is now Honda’s only SUV with a factory winch-ready front end and 2x-GVWR-rated recovery hooks. For Ontario buyers who actually use their SUV for cottage, hunting, or trailering, that hardware is the kind of thing you do not get from any aftermarket accessory package.

If you want one this summer, pre-order now: Maple Honda’s current 2026 Passport TrailSport allocation is sold out. Pre-orders placed this week land on Maple Honda’s lot in 1–2 months, ahead of the August long weekend cottage season and before the TrailSport Blackout queue grows another month.
