4 Highlights of the 2025 Honda Pilot

Robust V6 Muscle

Under the hood, the Honda Pilot is powered by a proven 3.5-liter V6 engine that delivers an eager 285 HP and 262 lb-ft of torque. This responsive engine provides confident acceleration for highway driving and passing, while towing up to 5,000 pounds, allowing you to haul everything from midsize boats and campers to utility trailers with ease.

And thanks to Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) technology, this engine can shut down one bank of cylinders during highway driving to enhance fuel efficiency. As a result, the Honda Pilot boasts one of the best fuel economies in its class, getting up to 27 MPG on the highway.

Refined Performance

The three-row Honda Pilot handles with remarkable agility and grace, thanks to performance-focused engineering. Its unibody construction contributes to a rigid chassis and balanced weight distribution, enabling stable cornering and precise control. The 10-speed automatic ensures the engine operates in its most efficient RPM range, while its shift-management program enables multiple-gear downshifts when you require lots of power, resulting in responsive, silky-smooth acceleration. Meanwhile, paddle shifters allow you to take over shifting decisions for a more engaging experience.

What’s more, the available intelligent all-wheel-drive system keeps the Pilot firmly planted for enhanced control by adjusting torque distribution accordingly, prioritizing wheels with traction. And thanks to the innovative 4-wheel independent suspension system, each wheel absorbs road imperfections independently, meaning that bumps affecting one wheel won’t affect the movements of the other, enhancing handling prowess further while ensuring superb ride comfort.

Off-Road Mastery

The Honda Pilot, especially in its TrailSport trim, is impressively capable off-road, making it the ideal vehicle for adventure-loving families. In addition to the intelligent Variable Torque Management (i-VTM4) all-wheel-drive system, it also comes with several available trail-ready features such as an off-road-tuned suspension, over 8 inches of ground clearance, terrain-specific drive modes, recovery hooks, hill descent control, and more!

Spacious Upmarket Cabin

The Pilot offers over 150 cubic feet of passenger volume and nearly 90 cubic feet of maximum cargo space to ensure unmatched riding comfort and utility. It enhances the riding experience further with available upper-class amenities such as premium leather upholstery, heated and ventilated seats, second-row captain’s chairs, a 12-speaker Bose Premium sound system, an intercom system, a head-up display, wireless phone charging, a panoramic sunroof, and more!
