Why the 2025 Honda Pilot Should Make Your Shortlist

Performance

When you’re looking for a new SUV, you want a car that doesn’t waste time accelerating, but also one that you can rely on in adverse conditions. The centerpiece of these inspired performance features is the Gasoline V6 engine, a setup that simply gets the job done. Even with all this talk of laudable specs, one thing still can’t be ignored: The Pilot packs surprisingly graceful handling. Some other standout performance features on this model are:

• Available Off-Road-Tuned Suspension
• Hill Descent Control
• 10-speed automatic Transmission

Technology

Making the road a better place is the mark of a best-in-class SUV, and in this respect, the Pilot lets its actions speak louder than words. Since safety is only one of your concerns, it’s a good thing that the Pilot also comes through with more than its share of navigation and entertainment specs. Other technology features available in this model include:

• Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert
• Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• Automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection

Design

The days of having to go big to get all the comfort and roominess you want are over. In the Pilot, there are plenty of places to store the essentials, and if you need more room for larger cargo, you can stow the rear seats for up to 111 cu ft of space. Then you can kick back and relax thanks to the variety of available comfort options. These design features are also available for this model:

• 7.0-inch digital gauge cluster
• Available Bose Premium Audio System
• Power Tailgate
