2016 Honda Pilot Review: Totally Updated
Big and blocky on the outside but underneath just a roomy, family-friendly crossover, the previous-generation Honda Pilot might be experimented with a little too hard to look like something it wasn't. It was like Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory gearing up in full Under Armour apparel to fake his way into an iron man competition. This time around, the fully redesigned 2016 Honda Pilot has a new traditional crossover appearance. It's very likely a more honest approach, and it's backed up by new upgrades that have made this third-generation Pilot a much better solution for a three-row large crossover than previously.
The Pilot’s specialize in its elasticity, and that’s in full force in this new variation. Three rows of seats have spot for approximately eight passengers. The front seats are just about ideally shaped, and with step-in height nearly an inch lower than before, the Pilot is an even greater bet for smaller or older drivers. The middle row is adult-friendly, and the first time, you will get a version with two captain’s chairs and a pass-through. The seat reclines for long getaways and has its own tray table and cup holders.
Honda implies the new Pilot is around 300 pounds lighter compared with the previous generation and has 30 more horsepower. With 280 horsepower on tap from its 3.5-liter, direction-injection V-6 and a nine-speed transmission providing you with a much wider gear spread than the previous generations' five-speed, this a lot faster, more responsive Pilot. Honda states 7 seconds to 60 and I see certainly no reason to doubt that. I didn't need to paddle-shift through the gears to accelerate onto the short onramps of the Hudson Parkway; the Pilot has plenty pop to make merging simply a matter of dropping your right foot.
Cargo space is necessary in an SUV. Pilot has a perfect amount behind the third row (16.5 cubic feet), second row (46.8 cubic feet) and first row (83.8 cubic feet). There’s perfect concealed storage beneath the load floor in the rear, a wonderful place to stash a briefcase or computer bag out of site when parking.
