Bob Howard Honda sells the 2026 Passport with all-wheel drive on every trim
Bob Howard Honda sells the Passport new at 13201 N Kelley Ave, Oklahoma City, OK 73131. Honda’s 2026 press kit says i-VTM4 all-wheel drive is standard on all Passport trims. Honda says the system has a stronger rear drive unit that can handle 40% more torque (3,000 Nm) and responds 30% faster.
The Passport is one of the new Honda models we stock, alongside the Pilot, CR-V and Accord. You can see the full new lineup on our new-inventory page.
Honda’s 2026 Passport Features & Specs page also lists the i-VTM4 system as a drivetrain feature on every trim. That matters when you compare trims at the same dealership, because the drivetrain does not change as the price goes up.
What does an all-wheel-drive 2026 Honda Passport cost in Oklahoma City?
A 2026 Passport with all-wheel drive starts at $44,950, the manufacturer’s suggested retail price for the lowest trim. The price steps up trim by trim, and all-wheel drive is already included in every one of them.
Here is the full ladder, from Honda’s published MSRPs for the 2026 model year:
| Trim | Starting MSRP |
|---|---|
| Passport RTL | $44,950 |
| Passport RTL Towing | $45,650 |
| Passport RTL Blackout | $46,150 |
| Passport TrailSport | $48,650 |
| Passport TrailSport Blackout | $49,850 |
| Passport TrailSport Elite | $52,650 |
| Passport TrailSport Elite Blackout | $53,850 |
Read down the list and you see what each step adds. The RTL is the entry point. The TrailSport trims move up to the off-road-focused models, and the Elite trims sit at the top. Pick the trim that fits your budget, then confirm the drivetrain on the window sticker. On every trim, it reads all-wheel drive.
What kind of all-wheel drive does the Honda Passport use?
The Passport uses Honda’s second-generation i-VTM4 system, which sends engine torque to the rear wheels when the car needs it. Honda’s News release for the 2024 model introduced the update. It says the rear drive unit brings 40% more torque capacity and 30% faster response.
Honda’s release also says that up to 70% of the engine’s torque can be sent to the rear axle, and 100% of that torque can be distributed to either the left or right rear wheel. In practice, that means the rear axle can push either wheel when one side needs more grip, which helps on wet roads and loose gravel.
The system adds a specific feature on some trims. Honda lists i-VTM4 with Trail Torque Logic as standard on the RTL, TrailSport and TrailSport Elite. Honda’s release explains the mechanism: the rear axle overdrives the front by 2.7%, so the rear wheels can spin faster than the front wheels and create a yaw moment at the rear of the vehicle.
How do 2026 Honda Passport trims compare on towing and fuel economy?
All seven 2026 Passport trims list a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds. The Passport AWD is EPA-rated at 19 city, 25 highway and 21 combined miles per gallon.
Those figures come from the EPA certification record for the 2026 model year. They are the numbers on the window sticker. Use the combined figure for a quick comparison, then check the city and highway numbers against your own commute. If most of your driving is stop-and-go around town, the city number matters more.
Towing is the same across the lineup, so you can choose a trim on looks, features or price. The 5,000-pound rating holds on the RTL and the TrailSport Elite alike.
How do the Honda Passport and Pilot compare on seating, cargo and drivetrain?
The Passport seats five. It offers 83.8 cubic feet of cargo behind the first row and 104.6 cubic feet at maximum. Row-one legroom is 41.1 inches and row-two legroom is 40.9 inches.
The Pilot offers more seats and more cargo. Honda lists the Pilot Sport (2WD) at a starting MSRP of $42,395, and the Pilot Sport (AWD) at $44,495. Both seat up to eight, with 111.8 cubic feet of maximum cargo. The Pilot EX-L (2WD) starts at $44,695.
Honda’s 2026 Pricing and EPA Ratings release says all-wheel drive is standard on every Passport trim. If you need a third row, the Pilot is the Honda to look at. If you need a five-seat SUV with all-wheel drive built in at a lower starting price, the Passport fits that need.

What warranty comes with a new Honda Passport?
The 2026 Passport carries a basic warranty of 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. Honda’s corrosion coverage for body panels that rust from the inside out runs 5 years with no mileage limit.
Honda’s 2026 warranty booklet states those terms. Read the booklet for exclusions, and check whether any part you care about sits under a separate coverage period. Seat belts that fail to function properly are covered for 15 years or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Keep your service records. The warranty covers the vehicle, but a clean history makes the car easier to sell when the time comes.
