2023 Honda Pilot

SUV buyers can discover the 2023 Pilot in six trims: LX, Sport, EX-L, TrailSport, Touring, and Elite. The LX trim level is the most affordable option, while the Sport trim adds 20-inch wheels and LED exterior lighting. Think about picking the EX-L trim level if you desire a programmable power liftgate, acoustic laminated windshield, heated exterior side mirrors, and 18-inch wheels. The TrailSport is made with the off-road in mind and comes with increased ground clearance, 18-inch wheels, all-terrain tires, underbody skid plates, off-road recovery hooks, a heated windshield, and a Class III trailer hitch.

No matter which trim level of the 2023 Honda Pilot you choose, the SUV features one exclusive engine option under the hood. This engine is a 3.5-liter V-6. Previous model years have also used a 3.5-liter V-6 engine, but none have been able to produce as much power as the 2023 version. With this redesigned engine under the hood, the Pilot can generate 285 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. Additionally, the engine pairs to a 10-speed automatic transmission.

Front-wheel drive is the standard setup for the 2023 Pilot. However, SUV buyers have the option to enhance this vehicle with available all-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is an upgrade with lower trim levels and comes standard with the TrailSport and Elite trims. This setup allows for a greater grip to the surface below, whether you're driving on dirt, mud, snow, sand, or ice. Additionally, the Honda Pilot has a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds when properly equipped.

The cabin of the 2023 Honda Pilot comes with plenty of seating for your friends, family, or both. Not only does the SUV come with three rows of seating, but the vehicle also offers modern convenience features like push-button start, remote engine start, and tri-zone climate control. If you're interested in infotainment, you will be pleased to know this 2023 Honda SUV features a 7-inch touch-screen on the dashboard that is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Higher trims add additional features like a wireless phone charger, a larger touch-screen, a built-in navigation system, and a head-up display.

Whether you plan on using the 2023 Honda Pilot as a commuter vehicle, an SUV for weekend road trips, or a family vehicle, you need it to be as safe as possible. That is why the Pilot comes standard with adaptive cruise control, driver attention warning, blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic warning, lane-keeping assistance, and automatic emergency braking. If you're looking for even more driver-assist safety technologies, you can upgrade the Pilot with front and rear parking sensors and a surround-view camera system, which assist with parking and navigating the Pilot in small spaces.
