The 2018 Honda Pilot is part of the SUV's third generation, known for its well-rounded capabilities and dependable reputation. It comes equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 engine that generates 280 horsepower and is paired with either a six-speed or nine-speed automatic transmission, depending on the trim. Available in five trims - LX, EX, EX-L, Touring, and Elite - each model features front-wheel drive with available all-wheel drive. Standout features include an 8" display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in EX and higher trims, and a suite of safety tech like adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, and lane departure warning and mitigating systems. For 2018, there were no major changes save for small feature shuffles.
