The new-for-2016, third-generation Honda Pilot is a sign of the times, and itself, is also full of signs of the times. Honda’s big, trucky-looking family hauler is now bigger, but less trucky-looking and more minivan-like instead. It’s longer. Overhangs are stretched. It's belly is an inch lower to the ground. A shift has been made from off-road

Vehicle Type Crossover SUV History/Description Honda phased out and replaced their first-generation Pilot for model-year 2009 with a new model that packed updated styling, technology, feature content and an even bigger body. Longer, wider and taller than the original machine, the new-for-2009 eight-passenger Pilot received a welcome make

Honda's formula for its Pilot was never far off the mark, but somehow the boxy-looking and oh-so-functional SUV failed to find any real traction among buyers of mid-size, three-row SUVs. In the family-hauler shootout the Pilot, which sold 6,113 units in 2014, simply wasn't in the same league as Kia's Sorento (13,982 sold) or Ford's Explorer (12,677

In a bid to expand the appeal of its mid-size Pilot crossover, Honda will add a short-wheelbase variant next year that ditches the current model's third-row seat.

Under a smothering Kentucky sun, our Honda heads West; smooth, glittering, reeking of turtle urine. But perhaps I should back up a little. Meet the new 2016 Honda Pilot , a vehicle that may be best thought of as an unboxing video of the previous model. Among the usual marketing-speak at the product presentation, a slide is shown demonstrating w

Honda’s most prestigious offering is now a crossover SUV. The S2000, as it was known, embodied so much of what

That Honda makes very good automotive conveyances has rarely been in doubt. The ability of the Japanese marque to package its cars and maximize space is unquestioned – especially when it comes to the company’s SUV lineup. Third-row occupants have been considered carefully, right down to anti-fog elements in the rearward windows, so the kids o

While much of the 2019 Honda Pilot remains the same at the core, three years after the current generation’s debut, it’s got a new front end more in keeping with the rest of Honda’s lineup, denoted by the more heavily chromed grille and new headlight shape.

New models, new transmissions, the promise of turbocharged engines, and the return of the Type-R Civic; no-one can accuse Honda of resting on their laurels. Well, not right at the present, anyway – a few years ago, it was a different story. That means it’s time to clean house on those vehicles that aren't pulling their weight, sales-wise. Goodby

Honda has announced a small recall of its Pilot and Acura MDX SUVs to replace fuel tanks that could leak . In a total of three vehicles, including the 2015 MDX and 2016 Pilot , improperly manufactured gas tanks could separate along welds mating the different pieces of metal that make up the tank structure.
