The 2026 Honda Passport is a mid-size SUV with room for five passengers and their gear

The 2026 Honda Passport measures 190.8 inches long, 76.6 inches wide, and 71.6 inches tall. That makes it roughly the size of a full-size pickup truck's cabin, but shaped like an SUV. If you're comparing it to other vehicles you know, it's longer than a Honda CR-V but shorter than a Chevrolet Tahoe.

The interior space breaks down into two main areas: where people sit and where cargo goes. The passenger cabin has 110.2 cubic feet of space, which is enough for five adults to sit without feeling cramped, though the third row (if equipped) is tighter than the front two rows. The cargo area behind the rear seats holds 37.2 cubic feet with the seats up, or 76.5 cubic feet if you fold the rear seats flat.

Ground clearance is 8.8 inches, which matters if you drive on rough terrain or live somewhere with heavy snow. The wheelbase—the distance between front and rear axles—is 112.2 inches, which affects how the vehicle handles turns and bumps.

Key Takeaways

  • The 2026 Passport is 190.8 inches long and 71.6 inches tall, making it comparable in size to a full-size truck cabin but in SUV form.
  • Interior passenger space totals 110.2 cubic feet, comfortable for five adults across three rows.
  • Cargo capacity is 37.2 cubic feet behind the rear seats, or 76.5 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down.
  • Ground clearance of 8.8 inches is useful for unpaved roads and winter weather, though lower than some competing SUVs.
  • The 112.2-inch wheelbase affects handling and ride quality on uneven terrain.

How the Passport compares to other mid-size SUVs

The Passport sits between smaller crossovers and larger three-row SUVs. A Honda CR-V is about 13 inches shorter and has less cargo space, but it's easier to park and uses less fuel. A Chevrolet Tahoe is about 20 inches longer and offers more cargo room, but it's heavier and costs more to operate.

If you're deciding between the Passport and a competing model like the Toyota 4Runner or Jeep Wrangler, the Passport is narrower (76.6 inches versus 77.3 for the 4Runner), which matters if you navigate tight parking spaces or narrow trails. The 4Runner is taller and has more ground clearance, which some buyers prefer for serious off-road use.

Door and opening dimensions

The front doors open to about 85 degrees, which is standard for SUVs in this class. The rear doors open similarly, though the angle is slightly less. Door width from hinge to edge is roughly 36 inches, so you need at least that much space to open a door fully without hitting an adjacent vehicle or wall.

The liftgate (rear hatch) opens upward and requires about 36 inches of clearance above the vehicle. If you park in a garage, measure the height from the floor to the ceiling—the Passport with the liftgate open needs roughly 108 inches of vertical space.

Seating and legroom details

Front-row legroom is 41.3 inches, which accommodates drivers and passengers up to about 6 feet 3 inches comfortably. Second-row legroom is 38.4 inches, still adequate for adults on shorter trips. Third-row legroom drops to 28.3 inches, which is tight for anyone over 5 feet 10 inches on long drives.

Headroom follows a similar pattern: 40.4 inches in front, 39.4 inches in the second row, and 37.8 inches in the third row. If you're very tall or plan to spend hours in the back seats, test-drive the vehicle to see if the space works for you.

Cargo space with different seat configurations

With all five seats in use, you have 37.2 cubic feet behind the third row. That's enough for groceries, luggage for a weekend trip, or sports equipment. If you fold the third row, cargo space expands to 76.5 cubic feet—roughly the size of a large refrigerator standing on its side.

If you fold both the second and third rows, you get the maximum 110.2 cubic feet of interior volume. This configuration is useful for moving furniture, camping gear, or other large items. Keep in mind that folding seats reduces passenger capacity, so you're trading people-space for cargo-space.

Towing and payload capacity related to size

The Passport's dimensions affect how much weight it can tow and carry. The vehicle has a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds when properly equipped, and a payload capacity (weight in the truck bed or cargo area) of around 1,500 pounds. These numbers depend on engine choice and whether you add a towing package, so confirm the exact specs for the model year and trim you're considering.

The wheelbase and suspension geometry—both tied to the vehicle's overall dimensions—determine how stable the Passport feels when towing. A longer wheelbase generally provides better stability, which is one reason the Passport's 112.2-inch wheelbase is designed for moderate towing rather than heavy-duty work.

Fuel tank and undercarriage clearance

The fuel tank holds 19 gallons, which is moderate for an SUV this size. Tank location and shape are designed to fit within the vehicle's footprint without reducing cargo or passenger space. The 8.8-inch ground clearance means the undercarriage sits higher than most sedans but lower than full-size trucks, balancing off-road capability with everyday drivability.

Approach angle (the steepness the front of the vehicle can climb) is 31.6 degrees, and departure angle (the steepness at the rear) is 26.0 degrees. These angles matter if you drive on steep terrain or rocky trails. A higher approach angle means the front bumper is less likely to hit obstacles when climbing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will a 2026 Passport fit in a standard garage?

Most standard single-car garages are 9 feet wide and 18 feet long. The Passport is 76.6 inches wide (about 6.4 feet) and 190.8 inches long (about 15.9 feet), so it fits lengthwise but leaves little room to open doors. Measure your garage before purchasing, especially if you need to open doors or the liftgate inside.

How much space do I lose if I add a roof rack?

A roof rack adds 4 to 6 inches to the vehicle's height, raising it from 71.6 inches to roughly 75.6 to 77.6 inches. This affects garage clearance and may impact how the vehicle handles wind at highway speeds. Check your garage height before adding a roof rack.

Can three adults sit comfortably in the back row?

The back row is designed for two adults or three children. With 28.3 inches of legroom and a narrower seat, three adults will feel crowded on trips longer than an hour. For regular long-distance travel, plan to use the second row for adults and reserve the third row for children or occasional passengers.

Is the Passport wider than a Honda CR-V?

The Passport is 76.6 inches wide, while the CR-V is 75.9 inches wide—a difference of less than an inch. Both vehicles fit standard parking spaces, though the Passport's extra width is barely noticeable in real-world driving.
