The 2018 Pilot engine is powerful and robust. Need we say more? Well actually, we’ve added some brains to our muscle.

Every Pilot comes with a 280-hp 3.5-litre, 24-valve, Direct Injection, SOHC, i-VTEC^® V6 engine with 262 lb.-ft. of torque. And to help every litre go further, the Variable Cylinder Management^® (VCM^®) system is designed to automatically switch between 6 and 3 cylinders, depending on the driving conditions.

The 6-speed and available 9-speed automatic transmissions optimize performance with Grade Logic Control technology to improve hill climbing or descending. And the available steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters add a dose of fun to the 9-speed automatic transmission with available electronic gear selector.

For a smoother ride, the Pilot’s intelligent Variable Torque Management (i-VTM4™) AWD system is designed to increase responsiveness and handling, so you take to the road with greater confidence.

On snow, mud or sand, the Intelligent Traction Management system allows the driver to select the operating mode that best suits the driving conditions by simply pushing a button.

The 3.5-litre, i-VTEC^® V6 engine’s available idle-stop can shut the engine off when stopped and restarts when the brake pedal is released to help improve fuel efficiency. With fuel economy ratings as low as 12.4/9.3/11.0 (L/100km) City/Hwy/Combined the Pilot is designed with efficiency in mind.

With its available towing capacity of 1,588kg or 2,268kg, the Pilot is ready for those adventures that need a little extra for the road.

* Accessory towing package required. Packages are available at an additional cost as a dealer-installed item. See your Owner’s Manual for proper towing operation.

At Honda, we strive to provide a high level of standard safety features to help ensure the safety of occupants, other drivers and even pedestrians. With this added peace of mind, our drivers have the confidence to enjoy every road to the fullest.

To assist with safe stopping, the 4-wheel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is designed to help you maintain control under hard braking conditions, while Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) helps to optimize braking power based on weight distribution inside the vehicle. In addition, Brake Assist is engineered to help improve braking performance by applying full brake pressure when a panic stop is detected.

Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA^®) with Traction Control is designed to sense and help correct oversteer and understeer scenarios to enhance handling and cornering stability, while Traction Control is designed to minimize wheel spin when accelerating on loose or slippery surfaces, helping to inspire greater driver confidence.

To promote enhanced safety and fuel efficiency, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System continually checks the air pressure in each tire. If pressure drops in any one tire, the driver receives a dashboard alert.

When you take your foot off the brake, this feature is engineered to temporarily maintain brake pressure to help prevent your Pilot from starting to roll backwards when stopped on an incline.

The highly innovative, next generation Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure is engineered to help disperse frontal impact energy to enhance occupant protection, while more effectively controlling it in severe collisions, to help prevent intrusion into the passenger cabin.

Like all Honda trucks, the Pilot is built with a rigid unit-body frame for added strength, stability and vehicle handling.

The cabin of the Pilot contains six standard airbags. It features i-SRS front airbags as well as three-row side curtain airbags with rollover sensor system, which are designed to deploy the side curtain airbags in the event of a rollover. Plus, it has SmartVent™ side airbags, which are designed to deploy safely in a manner that mitigates the risk of injury to out-of-position or smaller occupants.

The HondaLink Assist Automatic Emergency Response System helps you get the help you need when you need it most. If the airbags deploy, your Display Audio System is engineered to automatically attempt to put you on a call with an operator who will forward your location to first responders if needed. It works with any compatible Bluetooth^® -paired phone as long as it has reception, does not require a subscription and gives you peace of mind while you’re on the road.

The Pilot helps prepare you for the unexpected with 3-point height-adjustable front seat belts with automatic tensioning system and 3-point rear seat belts in the second and third rows.

The exceptional safety features in the Pilot also apply to your most precious cargo. Four built-in, ready to use Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) give you a simple and convenient method to install compatible child safety seats without using the vehicle’s seat belt system. The Pilot also features childproof rear door locks.

Innovative pedestrian safety features include an energy-absorbing hood and front fenders and deformable wiper pivots.
