2026 Honda Passport TrailSport Elite Blackout: Staten Island Buyers Guide
Quick Answer: 2026 Honda Passport TrailSport Elite Blackout
TrailSport Elite Blackout tops the 2026 Passport lineup: $53,850 MSRP, $55,345 with destination, $1,200 over standard TrailSport Elite. Like the Blackout option lower in the lineup, this is an appearance package, not a new equipment tier, everything mechanical and every comfort feature from TrailSport Elite carries over unchanged: the 2nd-generation TrailWatch cameras, heated and ventilated leather seats, 700-watt Bose audio, hands-free power tailgate, and full off-road hardware. What changes is presentation: 18-inch black alloy wheels, HPD center caps, and black Honda badges over the same TrailSport Elite mechanicals. This is the single most-equipped Passport Honda builds for 2026.
Everything Elite has, nothing new to learn
There's no mechanical decision to make at this trim, which simplifies things considerably. The 2nd-generation TrailWatch camera system with front washer and 360-degree Multi-View, the 700-watt 12-speaker Bose system, perforated leather with heated and ventilated front seats and heated outboard rear seats, the hands-free power tailgate, acoustic glass, and Smart Entry on every door, all of it carries over from TrailSport Elite untouched. The only actual choice is whether the black wheels, HPD center caps and black badging over TrailSport Elite's mechanicals are worth $1,200 to you. For buyers who were always going to choose the top trim, this is simply which one looks right doing it.
Who lands here
Buyers who wanted the top of the range and simply prefer the darker, more monochrome look over TrailSport Elite's standard finish. This is also the trim where the store's finance and insurance experience tends to matter most, given the transaction size. One buyer who traded a Passport toward a new Honda described the process this way: "the Finance Manager Vishnu R. Siew (Rob) is the best to deal with. He always goes above and beyond to make sure you get the best deal. The entire process was smooth and stress free!" Another Passport lessee kept it short: "I just pick up my new passport lease and I love it. Thank you very much Robert Siew. You're the best."
