2025 Honda Pilot Black Edition 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 10A)
44 of 45 people found this review helpful
I've had the car for about a month and it's already been back to the dealer several times. Good: beautiful paint, rims and interior. Good fit and finish. Decent acceleration. Bad: numerous issues with the infotainment system. The system rarely connects with my phone wirelessly, forcing the use of a cable. Sometimes the ports won't charge the phone. The infotainment system "forgets" my phone, forcing me to re-pair. It also gives a blank screen at times. The backup camera also likes to stop working at times. The remote start has it's own personality and chooses when it wants to work. The fans for the ventilated seats are like the Kardashians: very loud but don't seem to do anything.

The 2025 Honda Pilot Black Edition really caught my eye. I picked it up in Oct 24, and up until the first big rainstorm it was operating as expected. After the first rain test, I opened the driver's side door to find a puddle of water pooling in my floorboard. The dealership did their part and provided a loaner while they investigated the source of the water leak. The loaner provided was a 2025 Honda Pilot but more of a base model. I went to the store for groceries and when I opened the rear hatch, I observed water in the lower trunk space as well as signs of heavy leaking. My conclusion is that Honda is using a new company for its seals which are clearly failing to meet the Honda standard. I am concerned about my vehicle because even if seals are fixed, I am going to have to deal with the 2nd and 3rd order of effects from the initial issue.

We got our Pilot 5 months ago and have put 6,000 miles on it since then. We’ve already had repair done for a recall and we are now having trouble with the clock being off by several hours. Each time we do a manual reset it eventually loses several hours. We were told it’s a computer issue that they won’t have a fix for until August, which is still another 6 mths away. We’ve always owned Hondas for their quality, but we are starting to question this purchase.
I want my 2022 Pilot Back

I traded my 2022 Pilot for a 2025 Pilot. I have drive it for about a month now. I dislike the white noise they installed and have been told it cannot be disconnected. For people like myself that have tinnitus, the white noise makes it sound really loud and is very uncomfortable, so not a pleasant drive. Also not a fan of the 10 speed shifting especially when starting from a stop. I liked the design of the 2022 Pilot, just my personal opinion. And the tire noise is louder. This is my 3rd Pilot and my 2022 was my favorite by far. The 2025 is my least favorite, hoping as I drive it more I will find more to like.

2025 Honda Pilot Black Edition 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 10A)
23 of 25 people found this review helpful
I bought the 2025 Honda Pilot black edition after carefully shopping for a dependable 3rd row SUV because my 2022 Subaru Ascent is a Lemon. The Subaru had multiple major issues and repairs attempted before 23k miles. I was torn between the grand Highlander which was hard to find and the Pilot. I liked the look and options of the Pilot. I purchased the Pilot due to the availability. The first two weeks of ownership I barely drove it. I finally started to drive it to take the kids to school and 4 days in it illuminated multiple warning lights and shut off completely. The service lights were all related to malfunctions in the electric steering, lane control, cruise control, and collision braking. The radio display instructed to restart the vehicle and immediately take it to a dealer if the issues remain. We restarted the vehicle and the issues remained. We took it to the nearest dealer with 130 miles on the odometer and the next day I was told they think the battery failed so they replaced it. The fault was still present and they don’t know why but they are gonna order a main camera and try that. They have not offered us a rental car or loaner car and when I asked for one they said they can’t provide one. The dealership even suggested I pick up my broken unsafe stalling car and drive it to hike we wait for the part to arrive. Even with all the issues I had with my lemon law Subaru, at least I was provided a loaner car before the end of the day. I though by buying a Honda I was getting a dependable vehicle with “helpful Honda” service but I guess not.

I purchased the 2025 Pilot sports model in July, a week later I have noticed water in the trunk I contacted the dealership Hendrick in Concord NC. and they took the car for two days and I was told its a factory seal and it was replaced, a week later same issue came back after a heavy rain. went back to dealership and they offer another Pilot same model. I had to pay more because accourding to them its concedered a use car even though I'm the customer and paid full price for a new car. few days later the same problem with water in the back trunk. Dont buy this modle.its a lemon. I contacted Honda corporation and I opened a case but I havent heard anything I tried to call twice and I was told someone will call me shortly and havent heard anything. really put a bad taste in my mouth. I'm sharing my story because I want to help correct this issue for the next customer, I want to be fair that the dealership of Honda of Concord have great staff and they are trying to assit. someone need to step up and resolve this issue because its nor fair to the loyal customers.

Leased my 2025 Pilot Elite in June. I like everything about it but the transmission. It hesitates EVERY time you take off. It is scary. Sometime I'm afraid it is going to cut off. I've taken it in and was told there was nothing wrong. I've complained to North American Honda but have not heard back. I think about turning it back in almost every time I drive it. It's still not out of the question. It seems to be getting worse. I was told when I took it in the have it checked it would adjust with my driving style - HA HA HA.

I have a Honda Pilot touring 2025 it has 2,777 miles and its start shaking terrible and multiple sensor lights came up (low speed breaking, road departure mitigation, Collision Mitigation Braking system, Hill descendant control, Adaptive cruise Control, Electric Parking brake, parking brake not available, Trailer Stability Assist system problem,) After that the car stop and when I turn it on the motor start shaking and won't go on reverse or drive. After I called the dealer and they pick up they stated that it was the gas, I contact the gas station(I have the proof I place the correct gas) Shell in port St. Lucie Turnpike they also stated that their gas wasn't contaminated as per their report for that day and also, they have received no report for any other damage car on that day or subsequence days. They also ask me how many miles I drive after I place the gas it was 117 miles they also stated that if it was a gas problem it won't drive that far. I want to know if someone have had this issue because I already found a person with this issue, but they didn't write the last result mines I end up paying $935.00 for remove contaminated gas and clean the gas tank and they also replace another part. If someone has this issue, please let me know since I'm going to dispute this, I'm sure it wasn't the gas, and I shouldn't be paid for repair a brand-new car.

Loved the 6 cyl engine & autotransmission, good smooth quite ride, comfort. All the safety features very important. Enough power for my needs. The gear selector buttons takes a while to get used to. Light steering. Waiting for the winter driving. Happy with this car and hope it lasts a long time.

Overall, I really like my 2025 Pilot. It has a very smooth ride, excellent features (I upgraded from a 2017 Pilot) and my family loves the car. The wireless connection for my Android Auto put this SUV ahead of the Hyundai Palisade. The large moon roof and leather seats on the Touring model were also nice features. My only issue is the gas mileage at this point as the sticker said between 19-25 mpg as an estimate and I'm hovering around 17 and I drive in eco mode. Granted, right now I'm driving more "around town" miles but I'm going to run it by the dealership to see if they have any suggestions. Still a fan of this car after test driving the Hyundai and Toyota Grand Highlander as well.

Just got my 2025 Pilot 2 weeks ago and absolutely love it!! I’m a Honda girl and hope this one lasts as long as my last one. Had that Accord 20 years. More room in the Pilot, will be great for more road trips, and AWD, so won’t be too concerned about driving conditions, too much.

This is truly one of the nicest cars I’ve ever driven in my life. Beautifully appointed, nice tech package, with a fantastic off-road package that includes a tow hitch and capable of towing 5,000lbs. Would hands down take it over any SUV in its class.

It's probably the top SUV for a family of 4 having 2 growing teens. I drove Accord in the past, have been driving 2024 Ridgeline RTL and just bought the 2025 Pilot TrailSport. Comp to the truck, the SUV driving is noticeably softer but much more balanced and fine-tuned. The 10-gear auto is super smooth. Driving the SUV takes minimal effort - it drives like a sedan - 10/10 for Honda's engineers! The seats are super comfortable. My fav is the TrailSport Cam, which helps a lot when pulling in and out of our garage (24 feet width) with the truck already taken half the space. The main reasons we picked the TrailSport over the Touring are the TrailSport Cam and 2nd-row Captain seats, which allow our kids to hop to the 3rd row for naps during long road trips without stopping the vehicle. Avg fuel econ is the price you pay for the reliable Honda V6 and transmission. I am in TX and so below $2.5 per gallon reg gas - not really an issue. Fuel econ is an issue if you live in California or Atlanta.

Our results: We had a Kia. The engine failed. Kia replaced the engine under warranty but we had to wait months as there were 130 Kia's with blown engines head of us. No wireless Car play or Android Auto! No more Korean cars for us. Toyota Grand Highlander was the largest, had the best tech and is most reliable but with options was the most expensive with the least discounts. The suspension was too soft. Floating down the highway can make rear passengers car sick. They are also hard to find. Mazda CX-90 was the smallest but had the best performance and best fuel economy. It was also the the most luxurious of all the cars we looked at. We didn't like the joystick in the center console to manage settings. There were also a lot of serious complaints and a shortage of parts to fix them. The transmission shifted roughly from a start. The plug-in hybrid model is expensive and the one we test drove had some sort of issue and drove badly. We choose the Honda Pilot Touring. Its quiet, very comfortable and smooth and we like the removable middle seat in the second row. The display should be larger but its bigger than in the Mazda and easier to use. Not really an issue. There is loads of storage and it comes with a spare tire! The Apple Car play and Android Auto works every time and loads quickly. The steering is a little light and the car could use a little more power but its the only car in this class that is not turbo charged. There are also lots of Pilots still going strong with the same basic engine with over 200K miles. Using Costco we ended up getting the car for 4k under sticker making it the most affordable to actually purchase. We are averaging just over 20 MPG in mixed driving which is the biggest negative for this vehicle. I had a trailer hitch installed at U-Haul just carry our bikes for $310 and it took them 30 minutes to install it. The car has a relatively easy to reach plug to install trailer wiring should you wish to have that installed. My wife loves the car and we have had 0 issues so far.

Purchased the 2025 FWD Touring edition in September 2024. Initial impression was positive, second day i am missing the engine temperature gauge, well there is none, but you get two speedometers! Four months later the first recall. The dealership in Tomball Texas did a great job fixing the issue, they even washed the car for free! Then came a 1,700 mile long drive, boy its hard to find a comfortable position with the new seat design, and just as hard to get the EPA highway MPG at 70 miles per hour! I am begining to miss my 2019 Pilot which i traded in for this one. But not everything is negative, the fit and finish is much better on the 2025 as compared to the 2008, 2012 and 2019 which we owned before, the paint is superior as well as most of the features, the infotainment display although only 9 inches in size works well every time, so does the Bose sound system and the engine is so much smoother on this version. This version runs smooth and quiet, except on Texas rough and bumpy roads (most of the roads down here). So far the overall MPG is around 20, most city driving yields 19 to 21 and on the highway 26 to 28, again depending on road conditions. The OEM michelins had to go at 4900 miles, no wet traction and SO LOUD! I replaced them with Pirellis and its like a new car again, with no loss in efficiency! In summary, the 2025 Pilot has many more modern features as compared with the previous generations. The comments related to cargo volume versus other brands are generally unfounded and or subjective, no other brand offers the thoughtfull packaging design like Honda does, there is a place for everything! Honda offers a high level of practicality with not much eye candy, you just have to do your homework to get the best product. Oh, and resale value, i recovered 61% of the original price on my 2019 Pilot after driving it for six years, no other SUV brand can do that!

My odyssey, civic and pilot all have passenger side blind spot camera! It's the best feature Honda has put on their vehicles and sadly they took it off🤦 My friends who have Hondas as well complain of not having this feature in the new Hondas🤦 I just traded my 2017 Honda Pilot for a 2025 Honda Pilot Trailsport and its missing the camera! They already have these cameras when you drive slow speed and when parking so why take it off! The panel is useless when driving and taking an extra turn of you head to the right to see the blinking yellow blind spot feature is a pain! Its easier to just look at your panel and see the blindspot and you can turn it off anyway if it distracts you! What a waste! Honda needs to bring it back!

At 2000 miles I hit an Elk at 50 mph . No warning whatsoever from Honda Sensing or Honda's crash mitigation system . Yes , the vehicle was comfortable and responsive . Easy to drive. But now, I am afraid to drive it at night . Honda Motor Corporation offered zero help, and just swept me under the rug. They told me to have MY INSURANCE come and investigate. And told me to have the body shop write a report . Well, both were just excuses for Honda not to own their problem. My other car would have applied the brakes at bare minimum... the brand has 3 letters . I will never buy another Honda ever again , and this is my 3rd Pilot . I've owned 8 other Honda's as well. Honda has let me and my family down .

My car has crashed twice in 6 months of ownership because the brakes did not work when backing up in my driveway 3 times. All 3 times the camera and sensors did not work and the brakes took extra time to stop. It also does not warn me when I’m close to another object. Honda corp was awful and said it’s my fault even tho there is a class action lawsuit against the company for this exact issue! I’m petrified to get my car back and to make matters worse Honda says I’m upside down on my lease because of the accidents from their faulty car and I’d owe them 7k to get into another Honda!!! This is disgraceful customer service and no one cares that this braking system could be deadly ! Shame on you Honda.

I own a Porsche Boxster S limited and I find myself getting into my Honda Black Edition Pilot just as much. The ride is is very comfortable. It has impressive excelleration, loads of room and is a joy to drive. My Black edition actually turns heads. My only caution is to say that it is big so don't underestimate the size. It's not a small SUV. You do get used to the size and the added features like lane warnings and car warnings keep you safe.
