The All New 2025 Honda Pilot SUV Comes With a 285 horsepower engine that provides rapid acceleration and exceptional towing capacity, the 2024 Honda Pilot is a formidable SUV. Its V-6 engine offers exceptional fuel economy and powerful performance for managing trailers and overtaking other vehicles.
Depending on whether you select an all-wheel drive or two-wheel drive variant, the Pilot can tow 3,500 to 5,000 pounds. It includes Variable Cylinder ManagementTM (VCM®), which helps to improve fuel consumption, and 262 pound-feet of torque.
The dependable midsize SUV Pilot, which comes in a number of trim levels including LX, Sport, EX-L, TrailSport, Touring, and Elite, is perfect for family outings. Along with plenty of storage room and a number of standard amenities, it has three rows of seats. Its strong yet economical V6 engine makes for a comfortable and smooth driving experience. The Pilot is also adept at managing off-road situations.
The Pilot’s 3.5-liter V6 engine generates 285 horsepower when driven. Depending on the model, the 10-speed automatic transmission can drive all four wheels or only the front wheels. The Pilot’s fuel economy for most all-wheel-drive variants is about 21 miles per gallon, despite the transmission’s efficiency and quietness. With a somewhat raised suspension, the TrailSport model gets 20 miles per gallon. Honda does not currently sell the Pilot in a hybrid configuration.
The 2024 Honda Pilot is a standout among the several three-row midsize SUVs available on the market. It may not be the most ostentatious choice, but it holds its own against more recent models like the Mazda CX-90 and Toyota Grand Highlander, as well as well-known favorites like the Hyundai Palisade, Kia Telluride, and Jeep Grand Cherokee L.
The Pilot’s cabin is roomy and can accommodate up to eight people in comfort. Though it’s not quite as big as the Honda Odyssey van, it’s still rather roomy, particularly if you choose the second-row captain’s seats.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has given the Pilot the best safety rating possible, designating it as a Top Safety Pick+. With the exception of the lowest LX trim, all trim levels are equipped with a plethora of driving-assistance systems including adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assistance, a mechanism to reduce driver weariness, and blind-spot monitors.
The Pilot LX with front-wheel drive has a starting price of $38K if that interests you.
