2023 Honda Pilot Consumer Reviews

What a great SUV!! Finally a brand that gets it
6 months of comparing, test driving and analyzing SUVs and this just checked all the boxes in the most optimal way. We needed a family car that can go both to daily city commutes to adventures for real; towing, getting to where mountain bike trails are, etc. We are 6 but occasionally need room for 8. We need ed decent towing power and payload capacity for when we need to tow and bring gear and people with us. All other SUV brands give you 8 seats in the lowest trims and as you get higher in the trim you exchange features for a decreased payload/sitting capacity,... but Honda went different, counter intuitively and provides that detachable seat option at the higher trim levels o make it an 8 or a 7 seater and you keep the higher payload capacity. Space is almost the same as the minivan we traded in for it, it is very spacious and it feels strong, durable and reliable. It drives smooth as butter but when you need the power it delivers it with no delay. Brakes feel awesome. The interior is free from cabin- like obstacles (shift stick, cockpit narrow style cabin, etc), it is completely minimalist in style but it has everything you need exactly where you needed it with no interference of space. That panoramic sunroof is amazing, kids and grownups have plenty of space, air vents and connectivity. The tow hitch is super well integrated. Safety and driving assistance is very well tuned. AC is nice, strong and quiet. Bose sound system is concert hall quality. It is a great combination of urban with rugged, functionality, quality and practicality. Very happy with it! and I'm glad I waited before buying anything else.

The Smoothest Powerful 3 Row SUV in 2023
I have driven several 3 Row SUVs to pick the best value one. After test driving Grand Jeep Cherokee, Kia Telluride, Hyundai Palisade, Toyota Highlander, Cadillac XT6 and a couple of other ones, I test drove Honda Pilot. Pilot was second to none. It was smooth, elegant, and smart from my point of view without any extra bells and whistles. The design is unique and everybody can enjoy its drive. The fuel consumption is lower than any V6 SUVs at this range. I purchased it and now I am confident that I love all aspects of this car.

Checked all the boxes
We bought the 2023 Honda Pilot Elite after shopping for a 3 row SUV for a few weeks. It has all of the features we were looking for along with the Honda quality we wanted. So far, the Pilot has met all of our expectations from the comfort to the drive to the technology and safety features, we are very satisfied with our purchase.

Best in Class
Ordered our Pilot and got it in 3 weeks. Wow! Last car was a Pallisade, but it had half dozen features we did not like. So far after a month we love our Honda. First SUV of 15 total that we have no complaints at all. Very quiet, very smooth ride as good as our Mercedes GLS 450 at half of the cost and the Pilot uses regular unlead gas! Only a few inches shorter behind the 3rd row compared to our last Chevy Tahoe and only Toyota has better resale value. Plan to buy a second Pilot in 2 weeks. Update: Both new Pilots are great. Now about 7500 miles on each one and no problems at all! So far, best cars we have ever owned.

Much improved over the previous generation Pilot
We have had our 2023 Pilot Touring AWD for two weeks now. The ride feels much more solid and quieter than our old 2019 Touring. The panoramic roof is a welcome upgrade as well and is our kids' favorite thing in the SUV. The 10-speed does shift quite often, which was expected, but it does so with little fuss even on multi-gear downshifts so it's barely noticed. The new look is what sealed the deal for us. This thing looks sharp!
