The 2024 Honda Pilot is characterized by affordability, dynamic driving, and a powertrain that packs a punch. The Pilot is ready to take on any road, from suburban streets to long-range cruises down the highway on your next weekend getaway.
1. Powerful Mechanics
The highlight of the Pilot’s performance is the V6 engine, which generates 285 horsepower in 262 lb-ft of torque. This SUV can tow 3,500 lbs when equipped with a 2WD drivetrain or 5,000 lbs with an AWD system. Mechanical features like hill start assist and hill descent control give the SUV more control on inclines.
The Pilot has great fuel economy. The 2WD Pilot has a combined fuel economy of 22 MPG, while the AWD Pilot gets 21 MPG combined. The fuel efficiency of this SUV is even greater when you activate the Eco Assist system.
2. Rugged Exterior
The Pilot LX, the base model for this year’s lineup, comes with 18-inch alloy wheels and all-season tires. Alloy is an optimal material for wheels since alloy is both durable and lightweight, which improves performance and fuel efficiency. All-season tires are the best option for great year-round performance since these tires are designed to provide excellent stability in all weather conditions.
3. Smart Connectivity
The baseline Pilot is compatible with your smartphone via Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. With these smartphone-integrated connections, you can easily access your favorite apps for streaming or even voice navigation. This model also has a seven-inch touchscreen so you can easily toggle your infotainment options.
4. Advanced Safety
Your Pilot is equipped with sophisticated safety and driver assistance technology via the Honda Sensing safety suite. The LX has a road departure mitigation system that monitors visible lane markers and provides steering assistance to help you stay in your lane. The blind spot information system gives drivers a warning if a vehicle is detected in their blind spot when they are changing lanes or backing out of a parking space.
For more confidence during parallel parking maneuvers or dense traffic, the LX has a multi-angle rearview camera. This camera provides multiple angles of the rear of your vehicle so you can see how close your tail is to other vehicles, light poles, or other obstacles. Adaptive cruise control that automatically adjusts your vehicle speed relative to the surrounding traffic is also standard.
The Pilot is a fabulous SUV for suburbanites, families, and weekend warriors. Check out how well this Honda SUV handles when you visit Bristol Honda in Bristol, TN.
