2026 Honda Passport TrailSport at Gallatin Honda

The 2026 Honda Passport TrailSport is for drivers who want capability with comfort, especially here in Middle Tennessee, where daily driving meets outdoor adventure. Around Gallatin, Hendersonville, and the Old Hickory Lake area, the TrailSport trim is the rugged, ready version of the Passport. It has a powerful V6 engine, off-road-tuned suspension, advanced drive systems, and a practical cabin that supports everything from weekday commutes to weekend getaways.

TrailSport Engineering for Tennessee Roads and Terrain

Under the hood, the Passport TrailSport has a 3.5-liter V6 engine producing 285 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. It’s refined, responsive, and strong enough for Tennessee hills, highway merges, and loaded cabin drives. With direct injection, 24-valve DOHC dual VTC paired with variable cylinder management, the engine balances smooth acceleration with smart efficiency. Features like Idle-Stop, Eco Assist, and an 11.5:1 compression ratio fine-tune the experience for everyday practicality.

Backing up the TrailSport’s capability is the second-generation i-VTM4 all-wheel-drive system. This intelligent drivetrain automatically delivers torque and features Trail Torque Logic to maintain traction on surfaces like gravel, mud, and slick roads. The 10-speed automatic transmission with shift-by-wire and steering-wheel paddle shifters gives you control when you need it.

Integrated Drive Modes adjust performance for Normal, Econ, Sport, Snow, Tow, Trail, and Sand. Whether you’re driving wet backroads or heading to the trails near Cummins Falls, the Passport adjusts instantly to your surroundings.

Off-Road Hardware for Real Adventure

The 2026 Passport TrailSport is more than a styling package – it’s engineered for real adventure. Its off-road-tuned suspension, underbody skid plate, and 8.3 inches of ground clearance let you tackle uneven terrain with confidence. A 68-inch-wide track, MacPherson strut front suspension, and multi-link rear suspension keep the SUV stable through quick transitions and steep approaches. The TrailSport comes with 18-inch matte Shark Gray alloy wheels and 275/60R18 all-terrain tires. These are durable and grippy when driving down muddy boat ramps, dirt paths, or unpaved campground roads. High-visibility recovery hooks, black roof rails, and a Class III trailer hitch with harness prepare the Passport for when capability matters.

With a towing capacity of 5,000 pounds, the Passport TrailSport can tow small campers, fishing boats, or utility trailers with confidence. Features like Trailer Stability Assist and Hill Descent Control give you more control when navigating Tennessee’s elevation changes or backing up a trailer near the lake.

Spacious Interior for Real Life

Inside the TrailSport, the cabin is designed for practical, active use without sacrificing comfort. Leather-and-cloth seats with TrailSport orange stitching give a rugged and stylish look, while available perforated leather with contrast accents adds refinement. Heated and ventilated front seats and tri-zone climate control keep everyone comfortable in changing Tennessee weather.

The cabin seats five with plenty of room: 41.1 inches of front legroom, 40.9 inches in the second row, and spacious shoulder, hip, and headroom across both rows. Cargo space is a strong point with 44 ft3 behind the second row, 83.8 ft3 behind the first row, and up to 104.6 cubic feet when both rows are folded. Hidden storage bins, a large cargo well, integrated sunshades, ambient lighting, and durable floor materials make the interior ready for everyday family use or long road trips.

Technology for Daily Driving

The TrailSport has the latest Honda tech, including a 12.3-inch touchscreen, a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto, Google built-in with a 3-year data plan, Alexa Built-In, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, and a wireless phone charger. Multiple USB-C ports and 115-volt outlets in the second row and cargo area support devices, camping gear, or work tools.

Audio is through a nine-speaker system or available Bose 12-speaker premium audio. Speed-sensitive volume compensation keeps your audio clear even when the cabin is loaded or the road conditions change.

Intelligent Safety and Driver

Honda Sensing features on the Passport TrailSport help manage Tennessee’s varying traffic and road conditions. Systems include Collision Mitigation Braking, Road Departure Mitigation, Lane Keeping Assist, Forward Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow, Traffic Sign Recognition, Traffic Jam Assist, and Blind Spot Information System with Cross Traffic Monitor. The available multi-view camera system and TrailWatch feature provide clarity on tight trails or in busy parking lots.

Active safety features like Vehicle Stability Assist, Anti-Lock Braking System, Electronic Brake Distribution, Brake Assist, Rollover Mitigation, Tire Fill Assist, and Tire Pressure Monitoring add continuous support. With the ACE body structure, multiple airbags, front knee airbags, rear-seat reminders, and LATCH positions in all rear seats, the Passport has safety for every passenger.

Exterior Features to Match Its Strength

The TrailSport has LED headlights, amber TrailSport DRLs, LED taillights, LED fog lights, and signature exterior accents. Acoustic glass reduces wind noise; power-folding heated mirrors for colder months; rain-sensing wipers; panoramic moonroof; rear privacy glass; puddle lights; and power liftgate with hands-free access. You can also personalize your Passport TrailSport with genuine Honda parts and accessories, designed to enhance capability, protection, and everyday convenience while maintaining factory-level quality.
