We need a 8 seater, even for off road models. What's the point of an off road trim if it can't carry 5 in 2 rows.

@grigoriostheodoropoulos9576 2 месяца назад

Made the pilot bigger like the TAHOE.

@grigoriostheodoropoulos9576 2 месяца назад

Replace the 3.5 V6 to 4.0 V6 and build them bigger like the Chevrolet TAHOE.

@user-sh9ey6gl4b 2 месяца назад

It will likely roll over on highway speed (steering wheel does not have any feedback, and it feels like flying) as the Car and Driver reviewed it, "it is too numb, no sense of center". I am thinking of trade in my Elite. Steering wheel is over tuned and the suspension is not as soft as highlander. Consider your choice before buying it.

It looks so good, but they killed me with the 7- and 9-inch screens. The competition is offering 12- and 14-inch screens. Some people say that's no big deal, but I want the largest screen I can get.

@Aimeen_ 2 месяца назад

Have a Model Y with a big screen and an old Sienna with a small one. Could care less about the size of either. Why do people want such a massive screen? What are you doing with it (other than navigation?)

@joelc9329 17 дней назад

The small screen not only sucks for functionality but also makes the entire dash look awkward and off putting. Honda has never disappointed me when it comes to disappointing me with the interior of literally any vehicle they release.

In the grand scheme of things how important is it though? I'd consider things like ride, handling, noise levels, looks, mileage, seat comfort, cargo space, third row access, interior storage, safety ratings, reliability, stereo quality, etc to be far more important than screen size.

I would like to know more about the middle seat in the rear/second row. How wide it is? can three adults sit easily? is there a hump on the floor in the second row for the middle seat? If yes, would it make the person sitting in the middle seat uncomfortable during long journey? I am sure there a lot of people who would like to know this as well. If you could incorporate this into your reviews, it would be great

@ryanwilliams4561 2 месяца назад

The only thing that is keeping the Pilot from being the best mid size suv, is the lack of a bigger infotainment system and the lack of a digital rear view mirror.

@sizzlacalunji I agree but infotainment is probably more important as to everyday comforts. You're getting about average mpg compared to the most of the competition. Where as with info, you're getting subpar when compared to the competition

@kharakim Месяц назад

Many thanks for your first-rate reviews. About this one, I was left wondering if this model you tested had both the acoustic windshield AND acoustic front-seat side windows, and if so, was there any db difference from the other model you tested that may only have had an acoustic windshield?

I don't know about the Black edition, but you can change the instrument cluster to a show an analog tach and speedometer the Elite and Touring trims, with further customization of what info is displayed inside those gauges. I'm surprised they didn't include the larger nav display for 2025, but that probably requires some significant tooling changes for the dashboard. Maybe for 2026.

Maybe for lower trims some would be ok but for the higher trims or even the highest trim level wood, carbon fiber, idk just color and better material should be used. The interior is just not up to par with other cars in its class or even in its price range.
