With the exception of the base LX model, all Pilots now come standard with an 8-inch Display Audio system. The new infotainment interface looks sharp, is incredibly responsive and offers the ability to organize system icons to your liking. Top-end Touring and Elite trims can even receive over-the-air updates.

Pros
  • Excellent all-wheel drive
  • Improved infotainment
  • Improved cabin tech

  • No 360-degree camera

All versions of this family hauler feature a 3.5-liter V6. The LX and EX family variants soldier on with a six-speed automatic. Touring, Elite and Black Edition models feature a nine-ratio cog-swapper. Despite rolling on generously portioned 20-inch wheels, the Pilot's ride is surprisingly limber.
