Trim Levels

There are five trim levels in the 2026 Honda Pilot family, catering to different needs and budgets. The Sport kicks off with a bold presence through 20-inch Shark Grey aluminum-alloy wheels, a black front grille bar, LED headlights with auto high-low beam, LED fog lights, and black roof rails that accentuate its athletic stance. The EX-L refines the look with 18-inch machine-finished aluminum-alloy wheels featuring Pewter Grey inserts, a chrome grille bar, and body-coloured door handles for a more polished vibe. The TrailSport amps up off-road readiness with 18-inch Shark Grey aluminum-alloy wheels bearing the TrailSport logo, rugged all-terrain tires, a black grille, and orange accents that highlight its adventurous side. The Touring balances luxury and utility with 20-inch machine-finished aluminum-alloy wheels in Pewter Grey, a chrome grille, and additional chrome touches on the handles. The Black Edition tops the range with sleek 20-inch gloss-black aluminum-alloy wheels, a gloss-black grille, and gloss-black mirrors, giving it a stealthy, premium edge.

Performance

Every 2026 Honda Pilot has a 3.5-litre DOHC V-6 engine under the hood that produces 285 horsepower and 262 lb.-ft. of torque. All models also feature a 10-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters and the second-generation i-VTM4 all-wheel-drive system for sure-footed traction in all conditions. The maximum towing capacity is a substantial 2,268 kilograms when properly specified. Fuel economy varies by trim, with the Sport and EX-L achieving 12.4 L/100 km city, 9.3 L/100 km highway, and 11.0 L/100 km combined; the TrailSport posts 13.2 L/100 km city, 10.1 L/100 km highway, and 11.8 L/100 km combined for its rugged setup; while the Touring and Black Edition deliver 12.7 L/100 km city, 9.4 L/100 km highway, and 11.2 L/100 km combined. Drive modes adjust the experience, with Sport, Normal, Econ, Snow, and Tow available on base trims, plus Trail and Sand on higher ones for optimized response on pavement or rough paths. The suspension soaks up bumps effectively, and the electric power steering offers precise control that inspires confidence in all conditions.

Features and Technology

Passengers enjoy a roomy cabin with seating for up to eight in most trims, featuring flat-folding second- and third-row benches that expand cargo space flexibly.

Touring and Black Edition models add perforated leather--red-stitched in the Black--with ventilated front seats and on-demand removable middle seats for versatile configurations. Tri-zone automatic climate control covers all rows, and active noise cancellation quiets the interior during travel. A 10.2-inch digital instrument display clearly relays info, complemented by a 12-inch touchscreen infotainment system that supports wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in the Sport, shifting to wireless compatibility from the EX-L onward. Audio ranges from a 225-watt seven-speaker setup in the Sport to a Bose premium 12-speaker system in top trims. The Honda Sensing suite is standard with every Honda Pilot.
