2026 or 2027 Honda Passport: which model year fits Oklahoma City drivers?

Choose the 2027 Honda Passport TrailSport for more ground clearance, 9.6 inches against 8.3 inches on the 2026 TrailSport, and the 2026 Passport for the lower price on the same trim: the 2026 TrailSport starts at $48,650 and the 2027 TrailSport at $49,995.

Which Honda Passport year fits a daily commute or weekend trails?

The 2026 Passport RTL starts at $44,950, the lowest published starting price in the Passport lineup, which makes it the most direct route into a daily commuter. Weekend trail driving points toward the TrailSport line, which starts at $48,650 for 2026. Choose the 2027 Passport if the TrailSport’s 9.6 inches of ground clearance, against 8.3 inches for 2026, matters most to you. Choose the 2026 if the lower published price on the same trim matters more.

Every 2026 trim listed tows up to 5,000 pounds, so a weekend trailer does not separate one trim from another.

What is the ground clearance of the 2026 and 2027 Honda Passport TrailSport?

Honda lists 8.3 inches of ground clearance for the 2026 Passport TrailSport and 9.6 inches for the 2027 TrailSport trims; the RTL has 8.3 inches in both years. Clearance is the figure to weigh for trail use, and on the 2026 RTL it sits alongside an overall height of 73.1 inches and a curb weight of 4,478 pounds.

The TrailSport lists the same 285 horsepower and 5,000-pound towing rating as the RTL, so engine output does not separate the two on the trail. Clearance and trim equipment are the things to compare when you sit in each one.

What engine and seating does each Passport trim have?

Every 2026 Passport trim listed runs the same engine: 285 horsepower at 6,100 rpm and 262 lb-ft of torque at 5,000 rpm. The AWD and the AWD Trailsport are both gasoline all-wheel-drive models, so drive type is the same across these two versions. For 2027, Honda rates every Passport trim at 280 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque.

All of the trims listed seat five, so the cabin layout does not change as you move up the lineup.

What engine, fuel economy and towing rating does each Passport year list?

According to Honda’s published 2026 specifications, the Passport makes 285 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque in every trim listed, and it tows up to 5,000 pounds. The EPA certified ratings for the 2026 model year put the two all-wheel-drive versions side by side (EPA, 2026).

For highway driving, the AWD carries the stronger rating of the two at 25 mpg. For 2027, the EPA rates the AWD at 19 city, 25 highway and 21 combined, and the AWD Trailsport at 18 city, 22 highway and 20 combined (EPA, 2027).

What does each 2026 and 2027 Honda Passport trim cost, and what does it include?

Honda’s published 2026 pricing starts the Passport at $44,950 for the RTL and reaches $53,850 for the TrailSport Elite Blackout. These are starting MSRPs for each trim.

Honda’s 2027 pricing starts the Passport at $45,195 for the RTL and reaches $55,195 for the TrailSport Elite Blackout (Honda, 2027).

Every trim shown carries the same 5,000-pound towing rating and five seats, so price is the main difference you will see on those specs.

When is one Passport year the wrong pick for seating, cargo or warranty?

The 2026 Passport seats five in every trim listed, and the RTL, RTL Towing, RTL Blackout and TrailSport share the same cargo space: 83.8 cubic feet behind row one and 104.6 cubic feet at maximum. Row one offers 41.1 inches of legroom and row two offers 40.9 inches.

Warranty coverage applies to the whole Passport line rather than one trim, so no trim is the wrong pick on warranty.

What Oklahoma taxes and fees come with buying a new Passport?

Oklahoma charges the same excise tax, title fee and registration fee on a new 2026 or 2027 Passport. Two state taxes apply: an excise tax of 3.25% of a new vehicle’s value under 68 O.S. Section 2103, and a sales tax of 1.25% of the price under 68 O.S. Section 1355(2), figured on the difference between the trade-in’s value and the sales price when there is a trade-in (Oklahoma State Courts Network, 2026).

Service Oklahoma charges an $11.00 vehicle title fee (Service Oklahoma, 2026). Its full-year registration fee for a standard vehicle is $96.00 in the first through fourth registration years (Service Oklahoma).
