With multiple drive modes—Normal, ECON, Sport, Snow, Tow, Trail, and Sand—the Pilot adapts to your environment, whether you’re tackling a snow-covered street or an off-road trail. And with a towing capacity of up to 5,000 lb, it’s more than ready to pull your trailer, boat, or gear.
2. Spacious and Flexible Interior
The Honda Pilot seats seven or eight passengers, depending on the trim. The interior is designed with family comfort in mind, offering available second-row captain’s chairs or a removable centre seat for added flexibility.
Cargo space is just as thoughtfully laid out. With flat-folding rear seats, an available hands-free power tailgate, and clever in-floor storage, loading everything from camping gear to groceries is quick and convenient. The Pilot makes sure you never run out of room—no matter what your day demands.
