How to shop for a Honda Passport in Sacramento
Pick your Passport trim from Honda’s published prices, line up your trade-in offer and financing, test drive it, then ask each Sacramento Honda dealer for a written out-the-door price. Capital City Honda at 3630 Fulton Ave is open seven days a week and takes test-drive bookings online or by phone.
Honda sets the starting prices, so the trim comes first. The steps after it decide the price you actually pay.
Keep reading below, then schedule a test drive in Sacramento. Bringing your own numbers to the lot settles this faster than any spec sheet.
In Sacramento, choose your Honda Passport trim first and finish with a written price
Choose your trim first, because it sets the starting price. Honda’s published 2026 Passport prices run from $44,950 for the RTL to $53,850 for the TrailSport Elite Blackout.
Then compare dealers. Compare at least three Honda dealerships before you buy, and get each one’s price in writing. We have a secure online finance application at Capital City Honda, 3630 Fulton Ave, Sacramento, CA 95821, so the financing side can start before you visit. Elk Grove Honda at 8550 Laguna Grove Dr and Folsom Lake Honda at 12505 Automall Pkwy in Rancho Cordova are two others to put on the list.
Which Honda Passport trim fits your budget, towing and seating needs?
Match the trim to your towing and seating needs first, then to your budget. The RTL, RTL Towing and RTL Blackout each seat five, and all four trims, the TrailSport included, list a 5,000-pound maximum tow rating.
The RTL is the lowest-priced Passport at $44,950. The RTL Towing lists at $45,650, the RTL Blackout at $46,150 and the TrailSport at $48,650. If your budget stops near the RTL price, start with the RTL, because it carries the full 5,000-pound rating.
Room is the same across those three five-seat trims. Legroom is 41.1 inches in the front row and 40.9 inches in the second. Cargo room is 83.8 cubic feet behind the front row and 104.6 cubic feet at maximum.
Honda’s EPA certified figures for the Passport AWD are 19 city, 25 highway and 21 combined mpg. The AWD TrailSport certifies at 18 city, 23 highway and 20 combined mpg.
What changes if you buy a used or certified pre-owned Honda Passport instead of new?
We sell new, used and certified pre-owned Hondas, so you can compare all three on the same lot. Certified pre-owned cars carry a longer powertrain term than a new Passport does.
Every Honda Certified Pre-Owned vehicle we sell gets a 172-point inspection from our factory-trained technicians, and it comes with a free vehicle history report. Honda backs these vehicles with an extended powertrain limited warranty and a bumper-to-bumper limited warranty. Honda’s CPO powertrain coverage runs 7 years or 100,000 total odometer miles, whichever comes first, counted from the original in-service date (Honda Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles Warranty Booklet, 2026).
A new Passport’s powertrain warranty runs 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. Its basic warranty runs 3 years or 36,000 miles, and its corrosion warranty runs 5 years with no mileage limit. To qualify as certified pre-owned, a Honda must be up to 6 years old with less than 80,000 miles from its original in-service date at the time of sale (Honda Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles Warranty Booklet, 2026).
Can you get a Capital City Honda trade-in offer online before you visit?
Yes. You can get a trade-in offer online before you visit, because the site describes three ways to get one without coming to the store. The trade page calls the result an instant cash offer, and a trade-in value stays valid for seven days or up to 250 miles.
A make-and-model lookup returns a general estimate drawn from historical data, so the number can move. Treat it as a starting point. For an in-person trade-in, an appointment is optional.
Get your trade-in value separately from the Passport purchase price, so each number gets its own comparison. In an August 2026 5-star Google review, Donald H. wrote: “Competent staff fair upfront pricing , i was able to get what I asked for no strings attached.”
How do you compare financing before you buy a Passport in Sacramento?
Get a rate from your bank or credit union, then compare it with Honda financing, and don’t negotiate on the monthly payment alone. At Capital City Honda, the secure online finance application lets you start your side of that comparison online.
We offer Honda leases, new Honda financing and pre-owned car loans, so the comparison can cover more than one way to pay. The payment calculator accepts a trade-in offer amount, so you can add your trade-in offer to the payment figure.
Keep the monthly payment as one number among several. Ask for the out-the-door price alongside it, so you compare the whole deal.
How do you book a Passport test drive at Capital City Honda in Sacramento?
Capital City Honda takes test-drive bookings online or by phone, at 3630 Fulton Ave, Sacramento, CA 95821. Book once you have a trim in mind, so the drive covers the model you plan to buy.

She made buying a car feel easy, comfortable, and even fun! Joanna was friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and never pushy. She took the time to listen to what I was looking for and helped me find a car that was a perfect fit. I absolutely LOVE my new-to-me car and couldn’t be happier with my purchase! She was a pleasure to work with from start to finish, and I would definitely recommend her and Cap City Honda to anyone looking for a great car and a great buying experience.”
What should a written Honda Passport out-the-door price include in California?
An out-the-door price lists the vehicle price, sales tax, registration and every dealer fee and accessory in one figure. Ask each dealer for it in writing, and ask whether any dealer-installed accessories are mandatory before you agree to a number.
Sales tax depends on where you buy and register. The city of Sacramento’s combined rate is 8.750%, against 7.750% for the county rate that applies outside incorporated cities (California Department of Tax and Fee Administration, 2026).
Registration adds fixed charges. The base registration fee is $76, and a separate California Highway Patrol fee is $34 (California Department of Motor Vehicles, 2026). California law caps the dealer document processing charge at $85 for a dealer with a contract to be a private industry partner, and at $70 for any other dealer (California Legislative Information, 2026).
Buyers at rival dealers in this market wrote 150 one- and two-star reviews across 5 of them, and the complaints group under sales pressure and pricing fees. In a February 2026 two-star Google review of another dealer in this market, a buyer wrote: “The staff and service was great. I did not appreciate the 3% “credit card surcharge”; essentially passing along the credit card processing cost to customers.” Ask whether a card payment adds a surcharge, and have the answer in the written price.
