The 2027 Honda Passport is set to push the adventurous character of Honda’s five-passenger midsize SUV even further. After a major redesign for the 2026 model year, Honda is not completely reinventing the formula for 2027. Instead, the manufacturer is focusing on targeted improvements, particularly for the Passport TrailSport, to enhance its off-road capability, ground clearance, equipment and appearance.
For drivers in Lévis, Saint-Nicolas, Sainte-Foy, Quebec City and the surrounding area who are looking for a spacious and rugged SUV without needing a third row of seats, the Passport remains a particularly interesting option. Its V6 engine, all-wheel drive, generous cabin and towing capacity make it well suited to both daily driving and getaways to Charlevoix, the cottage, camping trips or more challenging roads in the region.
The 2027 Honda Passport is not yet available at Lévis Honda, however. Honda Canada expects it to arrive during fall 2026. Drivers who want to experience this new Passport generation right away can turn to the 2026 Honda Passport, which already shares much of its architecture, powertrain, technology and practical qualities with the upcoming model.
You can already discover the Honda Passport at Lévis Honda or browse the new 2026 Honda Passport inventory to see the vehicles currently available.
The changes to the 2027 Honda Passport focus mainly on the TrailSport versions. Honda has substantially reworked the suspension to improve the Passport’s capability when the pavement ends.
Ground clearance on the Passport TrailSport increases from approximately 210 mm, or 8.2 inches, on the 2026 model to approximately 245 mm, or 9.6 inches, for 2027. That is an increase of approximately 35 mm, or 1.4 inches. This change does not simply rely on taller springs. Honda says it has revised nearly 70% of the major suspension components, including the springs, dampers, certain suspension arms, stabilizer bars and steering knuckles. The front subframe and certain driveline components have also been adapted.
The result should be particularly appealing to drivers who use their Passport on trails, forest roads, cottage roads or in difficult winter conditions. The approach angle increases to approximately 25 degrees, the departure angle also reaches 25 degrees, and the breakover angle rises to approximately 23 degrees.
These improvements can also be appreciated in our region. A vehicle with greater underbody clearance can provide additional margin in deep snow, on secondary roads in Chaudière-Appalaches or during trips away from major roadways.
Honda has confirmed that the 2027 Passport will retain a standard V6 engine and the latest-generation i-VTM4 all-wheel-drive system. The 2026 Passport already uses a naturally aspirated 3.5-litre direct-injection V6 producing 285 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.
Preliminary information available for the 2027 model indicates that this powertrain should carry over. Until final Canadian specifications for all 2027 versions are published, however, detailed horsepower and torque figures should still be considered subject to confirmation.
This powertrain is particularly well suited to the Passport’s personality. Unlike certain SUVs that rely on smaller turbocharged engines, the Passport retains a large-displacement V6 that provides progressive power delivery and a useful reserve of torque when passing, carrying equipment or towing a trailer.
For a driver who regularly travels between Lévis and Quebec City, the V6’s power also allows the Passport to merge easily into traffic on Highway 20, Highway 73 and the main routes leading toward the bridges.
The 2026 Passport pairs its V6 with a 10-speed automatic transmission, a configuration that should remain at the heart of the 2027 Passport.
The large number of gears allows the transmission to keep the engine within an appropriate operating range whether the driver is accelerating, travelling on the highway, climbing a grade or carrying a load. The i-VTM4 all-wheel-drive system adds another dimension that is particularly relevant in Quebec.
Unlike a system that reacts only after a wheel begins to slip, i-VTM4 can manage torque distribution to improve traction and vehicle handling. The 2026 Passport also offers several drive modes adapted to different environments, including Normal, Sport, ECON, Snow, Trail, Sand and Tow.
For winters in Lévis, Saint-Nicolas, Sainte-Foy and Quebec City, the combination of advanced all-wheel drive, generous ground clearance and appropriate tires is obviously an important advantage.
The 2027 Honda Passport TrailSport is truly the version that benefits from the most significant changes.
In addition to its raised suspension, Honda modifies its appearance to better reflect its capabilities. The fender flares become more pronounced and the lower front bumper is reshaped. New amber LED lights integrated near the hood intake also reinforce the TrailSport’s visual identity.
The Honda TrailWatch camera also becomes an important part of the 2027 equipment. This system provides different views of the terrain around the vehicle, including front, rear, side and 360-degree perspectives. Indicators showing wheel position can also help the driver avoid an obstacle that cannot be seen directly from the driver’s seat.
On the Canadian 2026 Passport, TrailWatch is available on certain higher trims. For 2027, Honda announces it as standard equipment across the relevant TrailSport variants.
The 2027 Passport also receives styling changes related to Blackout configurations as well as a new Ash Green Metallic colour depending on the trim and market.
The following table highlights the main differences between the Passport currently available and the announced or expected characteristics of the 2027 model. Where Honda Canada has not yet published a final 2027 figure, it is clearly identified as being subject to confirmation.
| Feature | 2026 Honda Passport | 2027 Honda Passport |
| Engine | 3.5 L DOHC direct-injection V6 | Standard V6; 3.5 L expected |
| Horsepower | 285 hp | 285 hp expected, to be confirmed in Canada |
| Torque | 262 lb-ft | 262 lb-ft expected, to be confirmed |
| Transmission | 10-speed automatic | 10-speed automatic expected |
| Drivetrain | i-VTM4 all-wheel drive | Latest-generation i-VTM4 |
| Seating capacity | 5 | 5 expected |
| TrailSport ground clearance | Approx. 210 mm / 8.2 in. | Approx. 245 mm / 9.6 in. |
| TrailSport approach angle | Approx. 23° | Approx. 25° |
| TrailSport departure angle | Approx. 23° | Approx. 25° |
| Breakover angle | Approx. 20° | Approx. 23° |
| Canadian combined fuel consumption | 11.4 L/100 km | To be confirmed |
| City/highway fuel consumption | 12.6 / 9.9 L/100 km | To be confirmed |
| Cargo capacity behind the second row | Approx. 1,246 L | Final figure to be confirmed |
| Cargo capacity behind the front seats | Approx. 2,356 L | Final figure to be confirmed |
| Maximum towing capacity | Up to 2,268 kg / 5,000 lb when properly equipped | Final Canadian capacity to be confirmed |
| Centre display | 12.3 in. | Detailed configuration to be confirmed |
| Honda TrailWatch | Available depending on trim | Standard on announced TrailSport versions |
Canadian data for the 2026 Passport notably indicates fuel consumption of 12.6 L/100 km in the city, 9.9 L/100 km on the highway and 11.4 L/100 km combined. Cargo space reaches approximately 1,246 litres behind the second row and 2,356 litres with the rear seats folded.
Official Canadian fuel-consumption figures for the 2027 Honda Passport have not yet been published. It would therefore be premature to announce a final number.
As a reference, all 2026 Passport models offered in Canada have an official rating of 12.6 L/100 km in the city, 9.9 L/100 km on the highway and 11.4 L/100 km combined. The fuel tank holds 70 litres and regular gasoline is recommended.
Since the main 2027 changes notably concern the TrailSport suspension and ride height, official fuel-economy testing will be needed to determine the impact of these changes. Increased ground clearance and possible differences in weight or aerodynamics could slightly affect the results.
For a buyer who wants to understand operating costs precisely today, the 2026 Passport therefore has the advantage of already having established Canadian data.
The Passport uses a two-row configuration rather than the three rows of a Honda Pilot. This architecture allows it to dedicate a large portion of the cabin to passengers and cargo.
The 2026 Honda Passport seats five occupants and offers approximately 1,246 litres of cargo space behind the second row. With the rear seats folded, volume increases to approximately 2,356 litres according to Canadian measurements.
Honda has also designed different storage areas under the floor along with a layout that makes it easy to carry outdoor equipment. For a family in Lévis transporting luggage, sports equipment, skis or camping gear, this space quickly becomes one of the Passport’s major strengths.
Honda has not yet released all final Canadian measurements for the 2027 model. Since the main announced changes do not involve a redesign of the cabin, no major transformation of cargo volume has been announced.
The latest-generation Passport offers a much more modern interior presentation than its predecessor. The 2026 model notably includes a 12.3-inch centre touchscreen compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as wireless smartphone charging.
HondaLink connected services can add different features depending on equipment and the applicable subscription. To better understand the available possibilities, you can visit the HondaLink page at Lévis Honda.
The Passport also offers Honda Sensing technologies designed to assist the driver. These notably include Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow, Lane Keeping Assist, Blind Spot Information, Cross Traffic Monitor and various preventive braking features.
These features are particularly useful during daily travel between the South Shore and Quebec City, where slowdowns, lane changes and heavy traffic can be part of everyday driving.
A vehicle like the Passport makes a great deal of sense in a region where road conditions can change considerably throughout the year.
In Lévis and Saint-Nicolas, it can serve as a comfortable family SUV for daily driving. For travel to Sainte-Foy or downtown Quebec City, it provides the driving position and technology expected from a modern SUV. When the weekend arrives, its V6, all-wheel drive and cargo capacity allow it to take on a completely different role.
The 2027 improvements should be particularly appealing to owners who frequent more rural regions of Chaudière-Appalaches, Charlevoix, Bellechasse or Lotbinière. The TrailSport’s increased ground clearance and revised suspension are aimed precisely at this type of use while preserving road manners suited to everyday driving.
For certain buyers, the new off-road capability of the 2027 TrailSport will justify waiting for its arrival. A driver who frequently travels on challenging trails may especially appreciate the additional 35 mm of ground clearance, improved angles and broader availability of TrailWatch.
For many other drivers, the 2026 Passport already represents a very complete solution. It belongs to the current Passport generation, already has the 3.5-litre V6, 10-speed automatic transmission, i-VTM4 system, five seats, substantial cargo capacity and a genuine TrailSport orientation.
Most importantly, the 2026 model year can be shopped right now rather than waiting for the next model. Browse the new Passport inventory at Lévis Honda to see available vehicles.
You can then book a test drive to experience how the Passport behaves on Lévis roads.
The choice between waiting for the 2027 Passport and taking advantage of a 2026 Passport also depends on budget, vehicle availability and the preferred payment option.
At Lévis Honda, you can review the different leasing and financing options and submit a financing request to evaluate the solution that best fits your situation.
If you already own a vehicle, a trade-in appraisal can also make the transition to a Passport easier.
You can also review information about Honda warranty and protection or current Honda offers, depending on applicable terms and eligible vehicles.
For any questions about the currently available 2026 Passport or the eventual arrival of the 2027 Passport, you can also contact Lévis Honda.
Honda Canada announces the arrival of the 2027 Passport during fall 2026. The exact availability date may vary depending on the dealership and trim. While waiting for it to arrive at Lévis Honda, buyers can turn to the 2026 Passport inventory.
Honda has confirmed a standard V6 powertrain. The 2026 model uses a 3.5-litre V6 producing 285 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, and available information indicates continuity of this powertrain for 2027. Final Canadian specifications for the full lineup remain subject to confirmation.
The 2027 Passport TrailSport offers announced ground clearance of approximately 245 mm, or 9.6 inches. That represents an increase of approximately 35 mm or 1.4 inches compared with the 2026 TrailSport.
The official Canadian fuel-consumption rating for the 2027 Passport has not yet been published. For comparison, the 2026 Passport is rated at 12.6 L/100 km in the city, 9.9 L/100 km on the highway and 11.4 L/100 km combined.
The 2026 Honda Passport can tow up to approximately 2,268 kg, or 5,000 lb, when properly equipped. Official Canadian towing capacity for the 2027 Passport will need to be confirmed once Honda publishes all specifications.
The Passport is a two-row midsize SUV that can seat five people. This configuration allows it to offer plenty of passenger room and generous cargo volume.
The 2026 Passport offers approximately 1,246 litres behind the second row and approximately 2,356 litres behind the front seats with the rear bench folded.
The main improvements announced for 2027 concern the Passport TrailSport. It receives a significantly reworked suspension, greater ground clearance, improved off-road angles, styling changes and broader availability of the TrailWatch camera. The 2026 model, however, remains based on the same recent generation and already offers a V6 engine, all-wheel drive and excellent versatility.
The 2027 Honda Passport continues the evolution of an SUV that changed considerably with the arrival of its current generation. Its TrailSport improvements should allow it to go even farther off the beaten path without giving up the qualities sought for everyday use.
While these updates are interesting, there is no need to wait for the 2027 model to discover the essentials of this new generation. The 2026 Honda Passport already offers its 285-horsepower V6, 10-speed automatic transmission, i-VTM4 all-wheel-drive system, generous cargo space and rugged design.
