Why is the 2025 Honda Pilot Suitable for Growing Families in Lanaudière?

Families are growing in the beautiful Lanaudière region and its surroundings, and they face rapidly evolving needs. Between school activities, hobbies, and family getaways, finding a vehicle that can comfortably accommodate everyone while providing the necessary safety is essential.

The 2025 Honda Pilot meets these demands with its ability to seat eight people, its flexible configurations, and its advanced safety technologies.

This three-row SUV offers a practical solution for daily trips to school as well as for adventures at the Parc de la Rivière-des-Mille-Îles, for example. Its versatility adapts to the changing needs of active families, while its all-wheel-drive system provides the confidence needed to face Quebec's winter conditions.

Space and Configurations for Eight Passengers

The 2025 Pilot can accommodate up to eight occupants spread across three rows, with layouts that adapt to different situations. The total volume of 4485 L (Sport and EX-L) offers enough space for everyone to travel comfortably, even on long journeys.

The interior dimensions allow all occupants to enjoy generous clearance:

The third-row bench is suitable for children and teenagers for school runs or family outings, with enough space to settle in comfortably. The second-row seats offer a good compromise, with good comfort and easy access to the third row.

Adaptable Cargo Capacity

The Pilot's cargo space evolves according to your needs:

• Third row in place: 635 L (enough for groceries and school bags)
• Third row folded: 1685/1702 L (sports equipment, luggage for a trip)
• Second and third rows folded: 3166/3219 L (construction materials, bulky camping gear)

This flexibility allows for transporting lumber for home renovation projects, the little ones' hockey equipment, or luggage for family vacations. The power tailgate makes loading easier when your hands are full.

Engine and Towing Capacity

Under the hood, there is a 3.5L V6 engine that develops 285 horsepower at 6100 rpm and 262 lb-ft of torque at 5000 rpm. This Double Overhead Cam (DOHC) engine with variable valve timing ensures brisk acceleration when merging onto the highway and maintains power even with a loaded vehicle.

The ten-speed automatic transmission optimizes power distribution according to conditions. Paddle shifters allow for manual control when needed, which is particularly useful on descents or when towing.

With the towing package, the Pilot can tow up to 2268 kg (5000 pounds), allowing you to tow:

• Family trailers
• Pleasure boats
• Enclosed trailers with equipment
• Light horse trailers

Second-Generation i-VTM4 System

All-wheel drive is also a key concern for all residents of the Lanaudière region.

The second-generation i-VTM4 (Intelligent Variable Torque Management) system represents a significant improvement over the previous generation. This all-wheel-drive system can direct up to 70% of the engine's torque to the rear axle, and then redistribute 100% of that torque to either the left or right rear wheel, depending on traction needs.

Standard Honda Sensing Suite

All 2025 Pilot models feature the comprehensive Honda Sensing safety suite, which includes Honda's most advanced driver-assist technologies, such as:

• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow
• Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS)
• Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
• Blind Spot Information (BSI) System
• Rear Cross Traffic Monitor (CTM)
• Traffic Jam Assist
• Traffic Sign Recognition
• Road Departure Mitigation (RDM)

These systems work together to protect what matters most: your family. They reduce stress on long trips and add an extra layer of protection in unexpected situations.
