This Pilot is the largest and most powerful SUV in Honda history and the rugged TrailSport trim here is also the most off-road capable Honda SUV ever. It has standard all-terrain tires, higher ground clearance, robust skid plates, and a tough-looking new exterior.
The Pilot’s all-new styling features a large grille with hexagonal mesh, aggressively flared fenders, and a long hood. Its longer wheelbase makes way for the most spacious Pilot interior ever with room for up to eight. You can get a 2nd row seat that removes and stows in the cargo area. And a panoramic moonroof lets in lots of light.
This trim features the larger 9” touchscreen, you also have a digital instrument display. And we should note the TrailSport trim has the TrailWatch camera system for navigating obstacles while off-roading.
The most powerful V6 ever made by Honda is found under the hood, it makes 285 horsepower and is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. And the all-wheel drive system has been improved, it comes standard on this model. This TrailSport also features an off-road tuned suspension.
