The 2026 Honda Passport arrives with a clear mission: blend everyday comfort with authentic, ready-to-go capability. For Sioux Falls drivers researching online and comparing midsize, two-row SUVs, this Passport stands out with rugged design cues, versatile cargo solutions, and technology that makes both urban errands and weekend detours easier. Honda calls it the most powerful Passport yet, and it backs that confidence with a second-generation i-VTM4® all-wheel-drive system, available Off-Road Tuned Suspension, and available TrailWatch™ to help you navigate tight spaces or rutted paths. If you want a midsize SUV that feels just as at home rolling down I-29 as it does exploring a gravel shortcut outside Harrisburg or Tea, the 2026 Passport deserves a top spot on your list—and our team at Vern Eide Honda is here to help you evaluate trims, tech, and accessories with a straightforward, local buying-guide approach.
The Passport is engineered for drivers who demand confident traction and refined control. The second-generation i-VTM4® AWD system is designed to proactively send torque where it’s needed, helping enhance agility on wet pavement and composure on loose surfaces. Add the available Off-Road Tuned Suspension for added poise on rougher paths, and you have an SUV that brings capability without sacrificing the smooth, quiet road manners that Honda is known for. Available TrailWatch™ adds a forward-thinking camera view for low-speed maneuvering—great for cresting a trail approach, backing near a boat launch, or threading into a tight downtown parking spot. Whether your commute runs along I-90 or you’re mapping a backroads route toward Brandon or Hartford, the Passport is built to feel planted, predictable, and ready for what’s next.
Inside the 2026 Passport, you’ll find a cabin designed around practical comfort. The two-row layout makes entry and exit easy while maximizing cargo space for coolers, strollers, and sports bags. Available accessories like the Cargo Utility Light, MOLLE Panel Set, and Tailgate Table Shelf let you dial in the Passport for your routine—tailgates at Sertoma Park, an early morning run to Lake Alvin, or a quick supply pickup for weekend projects. The user-friendly infotainment system helps keep your navigation, calls, and media close at hand, while the interior materials are built to clean up easily after a gravel-road detour. The result is a cabin that works hard Monday through Friday and adapts quickly for spontaneous Saturday plans.
Safety is central to the Passport, with Honda Sensing® standard to support your awareness on crowded city streets or open interstate. The suite includes familiar features like Collision Mitigation Braking System™, Road Departure Mitigation, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, and Traffic Sign Recognition. For low-speed visibility, available TrailWatch™ acts like a second set of eyes when approaching obstacles or navigating tight spaces—handy for curbside parking downtown or angling your trailer at a local campground. It’s the balanced confidence Sioux Falls drivers appreciate: advanced tech that works in the background without getting in the way of a natural, comfortable driving rhythm.

Compared to other two-row midsize SUVs, the 2026 Passport finds a unique sweet spot. Many competitors either dial up off-road gear at the expense of on-road manners or prioritize softness while leaving capability on the table. The Passport balances both. The second-generation i-VTM4® system is designed to proactively route torque to the wheel that can use it, enhancing surefootedness when the surface gets loose. Available TrailWatch™ adds camera views that some rivals simply do not offer, giving you more confidence when approaching an obstacle or tucking into a tight space. And while others may need extensive aftermarket add-ons, the Passport embraces adventure from the factory with available accessories like MOLLE panels, a Cargo Utility Light, and a Tailgate Table Shelf that fit right in. For Sioux Falls-area shoppers who split time between I-29, neighborhood errands, and weekend trails or lake roads, that mix of composure and capability makes the Passport feel tailor-made.
