The 2025 Honda Pilot is an underrated gem for those looking for an affordable three-row SUV with lots of premium features for the money.
Strong Performance
The Honda Pilot is equipped with a robust 3.5-liter V6 engine that pushes out 285 HP with up to 262 pound-feet of torque to provide confident capability in any scenario. It is paired with an advanced 10-speed automatic transmission with intelligent shift management, which enables multiple-gear downshifts when powerful performance is needed. The result is a strong and responsive powertrain that provides effortlessly smooth acceleration and a hefty 5,000-pound towing capacity for maximum daily and weekend utility.
And thanks to Variable Cylinder Management technology, the Pilot has excellent fuel economy, getting up to 27 MPG on the highway, which is almost unheard of for gas-powered three-row SUVs. This technology enhances efficiency by deactivating one or two banks of cylinders during highway cruising.
Refined Ride and Handling
The Honda Pilot, despite being a big SUV, handles with graceful athleticism while providing excellent cushioning from road imperfections thanks to advanced engineering. The unibody construction and reinforced body structure yield near-perfect weight distribution, ensuring it remains balanced and composed around corners, while the sophisticated available all-wheel-drive system with intelligent variable torque management not only enhances traction for maximum grip and control but also continuously adjusts torque distribution between the wheels, favoring the ones with the most traction, for enhanced agility.
Meanwhile, its nicely weighted rack-and-pinion steering system delivers excellent road feel while providing reassuring responses, allowing you to maneuver the Pilot with precision and confidence. And with the independent strut and multilink suspension system gracefully soaking up bumps and dips for a smooth, refined ride, the Honda Pilot delivers an experience that is both agile and graceful, making daily commutes and long family trips delightful experiences.
Go-Anywhere Capability
The Honda Pilot comes with an impressive array of standard and available off-road features to ensure unrelenting capability no matter where your adventures lead you. Some of these features include over 8 inches of ground clearance, an off-road-tuned suspension, all-terrain tires, underbody skid plates, roof rails, all-wheel drive, recovery hooks, and terrain-specific drive modes.
Spacious and Luxurious Interior
The 2025 Pilot goes above and beyond to meet every passenger’s creature comforts and modern convenience needs. Nearly 160 cubic feet of passenger space ensures comfortable seating for eight passengers, while nearly 90 cubic feet of total cargo volume offers unmatched hauling practicality.
Meanwhile, a lavish suite of standard and available amenities maximizes comfort, including heated and cooled seats, a panoramic sunroof, premium leather upholstery, a Bose sound system, wireless charging, a 9-inch infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and more!
