Honda’s Passport for the North American market is seen in Chiba in January.

The company will take advantage of simplified import procedures for U.S.-made vehicles based on the Japan-U.S. tariff agreement.

It will begin selling the Passport and Integra in Japan in the latter half of 2026.

The Passport has a length of about 4.8 meters and will be among Honda’s largest SUVs sold domestically. Its appeal lies in its capability for off-road driving. As to the Integra, Honda will introduce the high-performance Type S sports model.

Both models will be sold with the steering wheel on the left. Pricing is undecided, and sales volume is expected to be small.
