The 2026 Honda Passport TrailSport a Good Road-Trip Vehicle?

Moab, Utah, serves as a dramatic backdrop for the 2026 Honda Passport TrailSport test, following a roughly 750-mile drive from Los Angeles that the author split into two days. The journey featured a late-afternoon start, strong crosswinds near Barstow, and a first overnight camp south of St. George in the Virgin River Gorge. A Las Vegas traffic delay tied to a major music festival stretched the return leg into a near‑midnight arrival. The long-haul route tested not only endurance but the Passport’s practical quietness and off‑road suitability in a high‑desert setting.

Inside, the TrailSport offers 83.8 cubic feet of cargo space with a flat floor when seats are stowed, enabling camp gear and sleeping arrangements. At 6-foot-2, the author moved the driver's seat forward and used a suitcase plus a folded blanket to maximize sleeping space inside the cabin. The test notes the lane-keep assist can help in gusty winds but should not be treated as a hands-free system. Overall, the Passport blends generous cargo, adaptable interior, and confidence on rough roads, making it a compelling choice for road trips that combine comfort with capability.
