What does each Honda Passport trim cost and include?
Each trim’s starting price sits beside its horsepower and maximum towing for the 2026 model year. The engine and towing figures match across these five trims, so the price step buys equipment rather than more power.
| Trim | Starting price | Horsepower | Max towing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Passport RTL | $44,950 | 285 hp | 5,000 lbs |
| Passport RTL Towing | $45,650 | 285 hp | 5,000 lbs |
| Passport RTL Blackout | $46,150 | 285 hp | 5,000 lbs |
| Passport TrailSport | $48,650 | 285 hp | 5,000 lbs |
| Passport TrailSport Blackout | $49,850 | 285 hp | 5,000 lbs |
Because the engine stays the same, the right trim depends on what the buyer will use it for. A buyer who tows a boat or trailer should confirm the 5,000 lbs figure fits the load before choosing a trim by price alone.
What does a Honda Passport cost after taxes and fees in South Carolina?
The rules that set these charges are public, and they decide the out-the-door number more than the trim does. South Carolina charges an Infrastructure Maintenance Fee in place of a vehicle sales tax, at 5% of the purchase price, with no more than $500 charged (South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles, 2026). The statute sets the same 5% cap of $500 on a dealer sale (S.C. Code Ann. Section 56-3-627, 2026).
Every Passport trim starts well above the price where 5% reaches $500, so the $500 cap sets the fee on each trim. Registration is a smaller line, at $40 for most passenger cars and paid every two years (South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles, 2026).
What does a used or certified Honda Passport cost near Hilton Head?
A used or certified Passport is priced car by car, so its number comes from the specific vehicle rather than from a trim chart. Mileage, condition and history set that number, and a buyer should compare the price of the exact car against its year and trim before deciding.
Hilton Head Honda carries used cars from many makes, not only Honda, alongside its new Honda lineup.
How much is a trade-in worth toward a Honda Passport at Hilton Head Honda?
A buyer can value a trade at Hilton Head Honda by license plate, VIN, or make and model, and the plate and VIN results are our instant offer. The payment calculator accepts that offer amount as the trade-in, so the trade reaches the Passport’s number before the visit. A make-and-model lookup gives only a general estimate based on historical data, and that figure can change, so the plate or VIN value is the number to plan around.
A trade-in value holds for seven days or up to 250 miles. Customers can bring a trade to the store with or without an appointment.
A trade can also work against a buyer. Edmunds found that 28.2% of trade-ins in July 2025 involved negative equity, with buyers owing an average of $6,902 above the vehicle’s value (Edmunds, 2025). A buyer who knows the offer before the visit knows whether the trade covers the loan.
What would a Honda Passport payment look like at Hilton Head Honda?
Hilton Head Honda offers both financing and leasing through its finance center. The online payment calculator turns a Passport’s price and a trade into a monthly figure, and a buyer can apply for financing online and see the payment before the visit.
Most buyers borrow for a new car. Experian reports that more than 80 percent of new car buyers financed their purchases in Q3 2025, compared with roughly 35 percent of used car buyers (Experian, 2025). The finance step is quick for a buyer who arrives prepared. In a September 2026 Google review, Tom C. wrote: “Quick & easy. Sales & finance people very knowledgeable & professional.”
