The 2018 Honda Pilot is a midsize three-row crossover SUV that ranks among the best in its class. Now in its third year of production, the current-generation Pilot offers an attractive combination of drivability, comfort and interior space. Front- or all-wheel drive can be specified, with assertive V6 power standard across the lineup. If you're shopping for a three-row crossover in this class, the Honda Pilot is a must-drive.
A sleek, modern dashboard and plenty of storage bins and cubbyholes highlight the Pilot's standout cabin. An 8-inch touchscreen interface on all but the entry-level LX trim helps create a high-tech feel, although we're not huge fans of its functionality. There's plenty of room for passengers, too, whether you're in the spacious front row, the airy second row, or the respectably accommodating third row, which can house adults better than most rivals.
The luxurious Elite trim level, a new offering for this generation, takes the Pilot close to Acura levels of richness. Highlights include a panoramic sunroof, a leather-trimmed interior, and second-row captain's chairs that are both heated and cooled. And every Pilot, except the LX, can be ordered with a suite of advanced safety features, such as forward collision mitigation with automatic braking — another way in which the current Pilot stands out from earlier versions.
No matter which trim level you choose, you'll enjoy newfound isolation on the road because Honda has taken measures to suppress road and wind noise in the 2018 Pilot. We're not high on the available nine-speed automatic transmission, but if you stick with the base six-speed automatic, you'll be able to enjoy the smooth, strong 3.5-liter V6 engine without hiccups. That engine gets 30 additional horsepower for this generation, putting the Pilot among the segment leaders in terms of thrust. Handling is confidence-inspiring despite the Pilot's prodigious size, thanks to responsive steering and a palpable sense of stability at higher speeds.
The 2018 Honda Pilot's fuel economy depends on the model you choose, with the base LX with front-wheel drive achieving an EPA-rated 22 mpg combined (19 city/27 highway). All the trims range from 21 to 23 mpg combined.
All through the lineup, the 2018 Honda Pilot offers an impressive blend of features and value. Although the base LX is fairly well-equipped, the EX leaps forward with a variety of desirable features. You can pile on more accoutrements by stepping up to the EX-L, Touring and Elite trims. Let Edmunds help find the perfect 2018 Honda Pilot for you.

Vehicle Touring w/Navigation and Rear Entertainment System 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 9A)
Review The Car is "great". We are still learning all the technology in the car. The only downside is the auto engine shut off. The auto shutoff is really weird. We don't like the roughness in the - on/ off - function. The system can be shut off but will come on with each engine start.
