Honda’s New HTX App Makes Off-Road Adventures Smarter, Safer, and More Connected
Honda is taking off-road capability to the next level with the launch of the new Honda Trail Experience (HTX) app, an innovative tool designed specifically for TrailSport owners. Available as a free download for iPhone users, the HTX app works with the 2026 Passport TrailSport, 2026 Pilot TrailSport, and 2026 CR-V TrailSport to provide real-time vehicle data, trail tracking, and social media-ready video sharing.
For drivers who enjoy exploring beyond the pavement, the new HTX app delivers valuable information that can help boost confidence on the trail while making sharing your adventures easier than ever.
If you’ve been considering an SUV, this latest technology is another reason why TrailSport models continue to stand out among off-road-capable SUVs.
What Is the Honda Trail Experience (HTX) App?
The Honda Trail Experience app was developed by Honda engineers with direct input from TrailSport owners and off-road enthusiasts. The goal was simple: create a tool that helps drivers better understand their vehicle’s performance while navigating challenging terrain.
Using Apple CarPlay integration, HTX connects directly to Honda TrailSport vehicles and displays vehicle information in real time.
The app transforms your SUV’s touchscreen into a powerful off-road command center, allowing you to monitor vehicle performance and trail conditions while keeping your focus on the journey ahead.
Key Honda HTX App Features
Real-Time Vehicle Data
One of the most exciting features of the HTX app is its ability to provide live vehicle performance information while you’re exploring off-road trails.
Drivers can monitor data points including:

- Brake pressure
- Throttle position
- Engine temperature
- Outside temperature
- Steering angle
- GPS coordinates
- Latitude and longitude
Users can customize the display and choose up to six data points to appear on the vehicle’s touchscreen at any given time.
This information helps drivers better understand vehicle behavior and terrain conditions, making off-road driving more predictable and enjoyable.

Whether you’re new to off-roading or an experienced adventurer, having access to real-time vehicle data can make a significant difference.
The HTX app helps drivers:
- Better understand changing trail conditions
