Honda's NEW 2026 Passport is AIMING right at Toyota's 4Runner...

[@limitedreach4446]

This has the potential to be the best softroader, non-BOF crossover. I’m excited to see the upgraded AWD system, which will debut in this! Honda, we need a new Ridgeline like YESTERDAY!

[@Jamal-ub1ko]

Soft-roader, yes, but I don't think this will hold a candle to some unibody SUVs like the Grand Cherokee, Defender, or GLE. I wonder how it will do against the Bronco Sport though

[@limitedreach4446]

⁠@@Jamal-ub1koDefender is hard to beat but GC and GLE are both softened for family uses and cater towards luxury, this will be tuned to be more rugged.

[@Jamal-ub1ko]

@@limitedreach4446 The Passport is definitely more of a family than the GC. There is no way it will be more capable than say a GC Trailhawk or even a GLE with the off-road package. As far as FWD-based crossovers are concerned, the Passport will be one of the best. That being said, it won't be a match for most of the RWD-based ones. The Passport Trailsport will be more rugged than a standard Passport, but not compared to a GC or GLE

[@PWCDN]

@@Jamal-ub1ko everyone I've heard that go a Bronco now regrets owning a Bronco. You won't regret owning a Honda, be it boring or not. Grand Cherokees, Defender and GLE are way pricier than this, not even comparable. If you can afford a Passport does not mean you can afford those other three lol

It will compete with the Grand Cherokee and the Nissan Pathfinder as those are both fellow unibodies.

[@Namesi]

The overwhelming majority of 4Runners never leave the pavement - this Passport will look the part and behave much better on road. Factor in the tried and true N/A V6 and a likely smaller price tag and it makes this a very compelling option. Also nice to know that the new Ridgeline will likely be sticking with the V6 as well which will make it and the Frontier the last two in the segment. Honda is definitely playing their cards right.

[@yelapa999]

"The overwhelming majority of 4Runners never leave the pavement"… Thus the Honda can be a poseur and needn't be fit for purpose? That's hooey.

[@islanddon865]

I'm betting the closest any of these SUV's get to see any nature is a soccer field. But this has really nothing to do with selling you a tough, bad ass, rock climber. It's really about, "Selling the Dream". Marketing cares only about that. Marketing firures out the various dreams people have for their vehicles. Then they create the specific vehicles that can simulate that dream. But they don't need to invest in the cost of fulfilling that dream that has an extremely low probability of being fulfilled. You know, like buying a super fast sports car that has the ability to compete on a Drag Strip, or Race Track, but will never go beyond the Spectators' parking lot. We Marketers are a sneaky bunch! 😆

[@yelapa999]

@@islanddon865 The 4Runner has a reputation forged by a huge community using them on trails over decades. The Passport has no reputation or Palmer's of any kind; that won't change in 2025.

[@Namesi]

​@@yelapa999 The Passport will be very well fit for purpose - which like I said for most people will be daily driving and maybe the occasional ski/camping trip. The question is whether you will let your ego supplant your reason or not. Of course the 4Runner has more _potential_ to be capable off-road; the point was that the majority of its owners never scratch the surface of that potential - they simply want to appear as if they do.

[@OBrandt-i5c]

It is competing with the PURPOSE for which MOST people buy a 4Runner. Mostly suburban running, and at best a few dirt roads, and this vehicle can exceed all of those typical 4Runner use cases. The dedicated extreme off-roaders will of course look elsewhere, but those are the tiny minority. Honda is doing the smart thing here.

@@vasekvidid you interview all 4 runner owners?

[@DarthNero]

@@OBrandt-i5cThe biggest appeal of the 4runners is the rugged & old school truck based SUV feel that it has. The passport can’t match that because it’s a crossover that feels like a car except it has a rugged appearance. Similar to what Subaru offers with the wilderness package with their Outbacks & Foresters.

[@OBrandt-i5c]

@@DarthNero you are preaching to the choir here. I understand what the 4Runner represents. However, as I highlighted above, the reason why a MAJORITY of the 4Runner buyers, purchase the 4Runner, is definitely not rock-crawling, but "dominance" in the Parking lot of the local mall, with a "tough looking" SUV. A smaller minority goes for camping and other light-duty offroading tasks. The extreme rock crawlers are as rare as hens teeth. Honda has done their market research well, when they created this product, since it satisfies/exceeds the needs of 99.5% of the buying public, perceptionally, and functionally.
