The 4th-generation 2023 Honda Pilot is built on Honda’s light truck architecture, which has some commonalities with the Acura MDX. The pilot’s new body is stiffer than the previous one. It’s also grown, with a 2.7” longer wheelbase plus a wider front and rear track.

For power, the Pilot carries on with a 3.5L V6 engine (285hp, 262 lb-ft) paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission featuring standard paddle shifters.

The interior has grown in both passenger and cargo space. As for infotainment, it’s handled in most trims by a 9-inch screen, though a 7-in unit comes in the base Sport trim. With either screen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included, though both are wireless with the 9-inch screen.

The Honda Pilot’s trim lineup has been overhauled for 2023. The Sport trim is now the base version with the EX-L, TrailSport, Touring, and Elite trims above it, in that order.

The TrailSport is the most off-road-oriented version, and it features Continental TerrainContact all-terrain tires whose movement is managed by an off-road-tuned suspension with a 1” lift. It also has steel skid plates, a full-size spare, plus recovery points integrated into the front skid plate and tow hitch.

Honda has outfitted the Pilot with a standard suite of active driver assists including lane keeping assist, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian and bicyclist detection, blind spot warning, and 8 airbags.
