2018 Honda Pilot

The Pilot's sporty and refined exterior is both elegant and stylish. The bold front end features a three-bar chrome grille and eye-catching headlights, while distinct LED taillights hug the tailgate for a signature look. Softly rounded corners, sleek lines, and a tapered silhouette round out the Pilot's head-turning good looks. Available in five trims, including the LX, EX, EX-L, Touring, and Elite, and nine configurations, finding a Pilot to match your budget and needs is easy.

<p>Regardless of which trim you choose, you'll find the same engine under the hood. A 3.5-liter, 6-cylinder engine powers the Pilot and puts out 280 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. On the LX, EX, and EX-L trims, the engine features a 6-speed automatic transmission, while both the Touring and Elite models come with a 6-speed automatic transmission. </p> <p>While all-wheel drive is standard only on Elite models, it is available for all trim levels. There's even a traction-management system on all models, except the LX, that enables optimal handling in snow, mud, and other poor conditions.</p>

<p>With an aerodynamic body and lighter chassis, the 2018 Pilot gets great fuel economy. To further improve fuel efficiency, Honda added an eco mode to the engine that shuts off half the cylinders under light throttle. </p> <p>According to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ratings, the front-wheel-drive 6-speed automatic gets 19 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway. The 9-speed transmission gets 1 mpg better fuel economy in the city, but highway ratings remain the same. Both city and highway fuel economy drop by 1 mpg on all-wheel-drive models. </p>

<p>From soft-touch surfaces on the dashboard and doors to the large center console with loads of storage space, the Pilot has all the comforts you need to make your ride more enjoyable. All trims come standard with power features, cruise control, air conditioning, cloth upholstery, USB ports, Bluetooth, and a 5-inch color audio display. </p> <p>Featuring 190 cubic feet of cargo space with the 60/40 rear-split seats folded, there's plenty of room to haul around sports equipment, groceries, and more. In addition, the second-row seats feature a one-touch folding mechanism that makes it easier to access the third row. </p>

<p>The base model Pilot comes equipped with a multi-angle rearview camera.
