As the Honda Passport comes back bigger than ever before, one car lover has praised the brand, claiming it’s ‘upping the masculinity’.
The Honda Passport is an ancient model, having been axed way back in 2008.
But its revival in 2019 saw the two-row SUV pave the way for Honda to have some more skin in the game.
The new Honda Passport 2026 is now here to build on the foundations of this unorthodox legacy, boasting a mean new look with the beat of a 3.5-liter V-6 heart.

Honda Passport returns in 2026 with extensive upgrade
The Passport is the first of several cars leaving the production line of the Japanese manufacturer this year, with the SUV coming before the Prelude.
The new design was priced up last week to cost up to $55,000 with all the bells and whistles attached and has begun staking a claim as the must-needed SUV when it rolls out later this year.
It comes with a brand-new look too, and it’s causing a positive stir.
TikTok personality goes viral for claiming new Honda SUV is more ‘masculine’
A lot of stereotypical muscle cars have been criticized for taking the roar out of the engines in favor of EVs – yes, we’re looking at you, Dodge Charger.
The Honda Passport is certainly a throwback to the beefier side of car manufacturing though, while the mainstream brand separates itself from its EV line.
But one TikTok personality has gone viral for his glowing review, slating it as ‘masculine’ and ‘sporty’.
In a video now grossing over 350,000 views and 11,500 likes, car enthusiast Chris – aka @spyv_91 – has praised the new look.
“Honda is upping the masculinity with the all-new 2026 Honda Passport. It’s an all-new generation, and it’s really cool,” he said
“They really upped the outdoor ante with this one, especially in this trail sport new design language.
“I love the way that it looks juxtaposed to the outdoor sporty styling of it.”
Many commenters agreed, enjoying the V6 engine upgrade and extra horsepower (albeit just five more), with some telling Toyota to take notes.
While the Passport might not ignite Alex Hirschi – aka Supercar Blondie herself – into a bow like this futuristic Lexus LF-ZL SUV did, it certainly appears to be a fan favorite in America.
