For the 2023 model year, the Honda Pilot is back and better than ever, with a wide variety of upgrades and improvements in store for drivers to enjoy! This year, you'll find a new and improved Honda Pilot that interweaves its new features with familiar elements you know and love. Keep reading down below to learn more about what's new for the 2023 Honda Pilot!
New Exterior Look
The Honda Pilot has always had a strong presence on the road, and as a three-row full-sized SUV, it has a bold silhouette. However, the 2023 model year is bringing forth a new and improved exterior design for the Pilot, that's even stronger than before. The new Pilot has a sportier look, with a more angular frame, making it a bit boxier. This creates a strong and stable look and feel, which makes the Pilot stand out from the crowd. It also has a wider stance thanks to an expanded wheelbase, which makes the whole SUV larger both inside and out. The overall design now fits right in with other new Honda models, like the new and improved CR-V. The new Honda design has an emphasis on athleticism, from its appearance to its capabilities.
2023 Honda Pilot Interior
The Honda Pilot has a spacious and accommodating interior, full of comfort and convenience features, as well as plenty of tech. The Pilot features three rows of seating, and can carry up to eight passengers. As we mentioned above, the larger wheelbase makes for a roomy interior, allowing passengers to stretch out and get comfortable. Certain trim levels also offer drivers to remove the middle seat from the second row, and fold it flat into the floor. This allows for more storage, or simply a more accessible path to the third row when needed. When it comes to tech features, you'll find a standard 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity. Other available features include a larger 9-inch screen, a premium Bose sound system, and a 10.2-inch digital cluster gauge.
What is the Honda Pilot's New Powertrain?
One of the most exciting updates of the 2023 Honda Pilot is the new and improved engine! The Pilot's new V6 makes it more powerful than ever before, which further emphasizes the new sporty design. Under the hood of the 2023 Honda Pilot, you'll find a 3.5-liter V6 rated at 285 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. This engine delivers increased horsepower compared to previous model years, and the 10-speed transmission takes the place of the old 9-speed. Front-wheel drive comes standard on the Pilot, but all-wheel drive is also available for those looking for some extra traction. The Trailsport is the most athletic trim level, with features like all-terrain tires, skid plates, and a 1-inch lift.
