Latest Pilot comparison articles

Sport FWD
Which trim

Sport FWD

The entry point into the Pilot lineup, and it still gets the full 285-hp V-6 and 8-passenger seating — you're not sacrificing power to save money here.

Sport AWD
Which trim

Sport AWD

Adds All Wheel Drive over the base Sport FWD for a modest premium, without jumping into EX-L-and-up pricing — the sweet spot if traction matters more than leather.

EX-L AWD
Which trim

EX-L AWD

Splits the difference between Sport AWD's value and Touring/Elite's higher prices, adding leather trim while keeping AWD and full seating capacity.
