2026 Honda Passport TrailSport Touring: Specs, Features & Canadian Pricing

The 2026 Honda Passport TrailSport Touring combines the new Passport’s off-road hardware with cabin upgrades that are easy to distinguish from the base TrailSport. Perforated leather, ventilated front seats, Bose audio and TrailWatch cameras are the main reasons to move up. The V6 engine, all-wheel-drive system and off-road suspension are shared across the Canadian lineup.

This guide covers the Canadian TrailSport Touring featured in our video, including its powertrain, seating, trail equipment, towing requirements and Canadian launch prices.

Models available

Honda offers four Canadian 2026 versions: TrailSport, TrailSport Blackout, TrailSport Touring and TrailSport Touring Blackout. All seat five. Blackout identifies an appearance variation of the underlying trim, while Touring brings the more substantial seating, camera and convenience upgrades. US trim names such as TrailSport Elite should not be used for the Canadian range.

Canadian trim comparison

The following Canadian launch MSRPs are dated May 22, 2025. They exclude freight and PDI, taxes, applicable fees, levies, duties, premium colours, insurance, licensing and registration. They are useful for comparing the model-year lineup but are not current dealer quotes or an as-tested total.

Canadian trim	Launch MSRP (CAD)	Difference vs Touring	Standard equipment and gains
TrailSport	$56,990	$3,550 less	Core off-road hardware, grey 18-inch alloys, cloth/vegan-leather upholstery and nine-speaker audio.
TrailSport Blackout	$58,190	$2,350 less	TrailSport equipment with gloss-black alloys, HPD centre caps and black Honda emblems.
TrailSport Touring — reviewed trim	$60,540	Reference	TrailWatch cameras, perforated leather, ventilated front seats, heated rear outboards and Bose 12-speaker audio.
TrailSport Touring Blackout	$61,740	$1,200 more	Touring equipment with the Blackout wheel and emblem treatment.

Touring costs $3,550 more than TrailSport on this price basis. Blackout adds $1,200 to either underlying trim, without increasing the engine output. Decide whether you want the Touring equipment first, then consider the Blackout appearance separately. Sources: Honda Canada’s launch price announcement and Canadian specification sheet.

Engine and transmission

Every Canadian 2026 Passport has a 3.5-litre V6 rated at 285 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Honda’s torque-vectoring i-VTM4 all-wheel-drive system is standard. Touring does not have a different engine calibration or a higher published power figure than TrailSport.

The drive-mode choices are Normal, Sport, Econ, Snow, Sand, Tow and Trail. For buyers mainly interested in the drivetrain, the lower-priced TrailSport already provides the same core configuration.

Off-road equipment and TrailWatch

Standard equipment includes an off-road-tuned suspension, steel underbody skid protection, front and rear recovery points, and 275/60R18 General Grabber all-terrain tires. Honda lists 210 mm of unloaded clearance, with approach and departure angles of 23.0 and 23.1 degrees. These are specifications rather than the result of an off-road test in this article.

Touring’s TrailWatch system adds camera views to help show areas close to the vehicle that may be difficult to see directly. The specification sheet lists a multi-view camera system and front/rear camera washers for Touring. That is a useful equipment difference to compare with the base trim, particularly if visibility around obstacles is a priority.

Towing and load limits

The Passport has a published maximum towing capacity of 2,268 kg, or 5,000 lb. There is an important distinction in Honda’s Canadian documentation: although a Class III hitch and seven-pin connector are listed as standard, the maximum-towing footnote calls for an additional-cost dealer-installed accessory towing package.

A standard hitch alone does not establish the complete maximum-towing setup. The required package and the fully loaded trailer must meet the individual vehicle’s loading limits, including passengers, luggage and tongue weight. See the Canadian specifications and footnote 31.

Fuel economy

The official Canadian rating is 12.6 L/100 km city, 9.9 highway and 11.4 combined across all four trims. These standardized figures are for comparison and budgeting, not a promise of consumption on a particular journey.

At an illustrative 20,000 km annually, the combined rating corresponds to 2,280 litres. At an example fuel price of $1.60 per litre, that is $3,648 a year. Replace both assumptions with your own annual distance and expected fuel cost. Honda specifies regular gasoline; this example is not a current pump-price quotation.

Interior, seating and cargo

The two-row layout provides five seats rather than a third row. Touring adds perforated leather-trimmed seating, front-seat ventilation and heated rear outboard seats. Its Bose system has 12 speakers. A panoramic sunroof, heated front seats and power front-seat adjustment are already part of the lower TrailSport’s equipment, so they should not be counted as Touring-only benefits.

Touring also adds rear temperature controls and rear-door sunshades. The power tailgate gains hands-free access and walk-away closing, and front-side acoustic glass is listed in addition to the windshield. These are the everyday convenience items to weigh against the $3,550 step from TrailSport.

Honda lists 1,246 litres of cargo space behind the second row and a maximum of 2,356 litres behind the front row. The maximum measurement includes the rear footwell and front seats moved forward under the specification sheet’s measurement note. It should not be read as space available while all five seats are occupied or while the front seats remain in their normal driving positions.

Infotainment and connectivity

A 12.3-inch touchscreen and a separate 10.2-inch instrument display are standard across the Canadian range. Google built-in, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto compatibility and wireless phone charging are also listed. Touring’s audio upgrade is therefore one of its clearer technology differences, rather than access to the main screen itself.

Safety features

The Canadian specification sheet lists adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow, collision-mitigation braking, blind-spot information with lane-change assist, cross-traffic monitoring, lane-keeping assistance and low-speed braking control across the lineup. Touring’s camera upgrade supplements that core assistance equipment rather than replacing the driver’s responsibility.

These systems have operating limits and do not make the vehicle autonomous. Check the owner’s manual for their conditions and warnings, and do not treat assistance technology as a guarantee that a collision will be prevented.

Pricing and buying decision

At its $60,540 launch MSRP, TrailSport Touring is the cabin-and-camera upgrade in the Canadian Passport range. It makes the strongest case when leather-trimmed seating, front ventilation, rear heating, Bose audio and TrailWatch are features you will actually use. The lower TrailSport offers the same V6, AWD and off-road hardware for $3,550 less.

Ask for a complete written quotation that separates delivery, fees, paint, accessories and taxes. If towing is part of the plan, include the required package in that quotation. Buyers drawn to the black wheels and emblems can compare the $1,200 Blackout addition independently of the Touring decision.

Frequently asked questions

Does TrailSport Touring have more power?

No. All four Canadian 2026 trims use the same published 285-hp V6 and 10-speed automatic.

Does it have a third row?

No. The Passport seats five in two rows.

Is the standard hitch enough to establish the maximum tow rating?

Do not assume so. Honda’s Canadian maximum-towing footnote requires an additional-cost accessory towing package. Confirm the required equipment for the particular vehicle before towing.
