2025 Honda Pilot

The 2025 Honda Pilot comes in six trims: Sport, EX-L, TrailSport, Touring, Elite, and Black Edition. The Sport trim, now the base model, features a hexagon-mesh grille and LED headlights. The EX-L includes a hands-free access power tailgate and leather-trimmed seats. The TrailSport is designed for off-road enthusiasts, boasting 18-inch alloy wheels with all-terrain tires, increased ground clearance, and a 1.0-inch suspension lift. The Touring offers a panoramic moonroof and 20-inch alloy wheels. The Elite incorporates black roof rails and a dual chrome exhaust. The Black Edition, new for 2025, features 20-inch alloy wheels and exclusive black exterior accents.

The 2025 Pilot is powered by a 3.5-liter V-6 engine that delivers an impressive 285 horsepower at 6,100 rpm and 262 pound-feet of torque at 5,000 rpm. This engine is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission featuring shift-by-wire and paddle shifters, ensuring smooth and responsive driving. The Pilot has a towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds when equipped with all-wheel drive.

The Pilot offers a balanced blend of performance and fuel efficiency designed for both city and highway driving. The i-VTM4 all-wheel-drive system enhances traction and stability, while the seven-mode drive system, including normal, ECON, snow, tow, sport, trail, and sand modes, adapts to various driving conditions. The TrailSport trim, with its off-road-tuned suspension and increased ground clearance, excels in rugged terrains, offering a 0-60 mph time of 6.9 seconds.

Honda has designed the Pilot's interior for comfort and versatility. This SUV seats up to eight passengers. The eight-passenger models feature a stowable second-row middle seat, and the EX-L trim and above offer optional second-row captain's chairs. Cargo capacity ranges from 18.6 to 21.8 cubic feet behind the third row, expanding to 111.8 cubic feet with the rear seats folded.
Premium features include leather-trimmed upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, tri-zone climate control, and a panoramic moonroof. The Black Edition trim adds exclusive interior styling with red accent lighting and contrast stitching. Technological features include a 9-inch touchscreen display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, and a 10.2-inch driver information interface.

The 2025 Honda Pilot prioritizes safety with the standard Honda Sensing suite, which includes advanced driver assistance systems such as Collision Mitigation Braking System, road departure mitigation, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keeping assist. Additional safety technologies include blind spot information with cross-traffic monitor, a multi-angle rearview camera, and low-speed braking control.
