2022 Honda Pilot Trims Comparison
2022 Pilot trim level differences
The 2022 Honda Pilot is a three-row midsize SUV that comes in five trim levels: EX-L, SE (or Special Edition), Touring, Elite and Black Edition. The EX-L, SE and Touring models have seating for eight, though second-row captain's chairs — which reduce capacity to seven — are optional on the Touring. The captain's chairs are standard for the Elite and Black Edition trims.
Which 2022 Pilot trim does Edmunds recommend?
Now that the entry-level LX and EX trims have been discontinued, the 2022 Pilot's starting price is quite high by class standards. Luckily, the base EX-L packs a lot of features for the money, such as heated front seats, leather upholstery, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone compatibility. Our pick, though, would be the SE (or Special Edition). It's similar to the EX-L but has blacked-out trim and wheels for a more stylish appearance.
