Redesigned 2023 Honda Pilot Turns Heads

The engineers at Honda have designed a lineup of vehicles that is practically perfect, and nothing fits that bill quite like the 2023 Pilot. This attractive and well-equipped mid-size SUV has what drivers want – a peppy engine, a comfortable interior, and intuitive technology. Better yet, the 2023 Pilot is available in several trims including an affordable entry-level model, a rugged off-road trim, and a luxurious option with leather seats and high-end features. You can see the different trim levels at Honda of Sarasota near Siesta Key.

Affordable and Well-Equipped Entry-Level Trims

The entry-level trims include the LX and Sport. The LX is available in front- or all-wheel drive. All trims have a 3.5-liter V6 with 285 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. Front-wheel drive and a 10-speed automatic transmission are standard.

The interior features include cloth upholstery and an eight-passenger layout with two rows of bench seats. The infotainment system includes a 7.0-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, four USB ports, and seven speakers.

The Honda Sensing driver-assistive features include Driver-Attention Monitoring, LED Headlights with Automatic High Beams, Lane-Departure Warning, Lane-Keep Assist, Forward Collision Warning, Forward Automatic Emergency Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, and a Rearview Camera.

The Honda Pilot Sport adds exterior styling features with 20-inch wheels, along with heated front seats, Blind-Spot Monitoring, and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert.

Luxurious and Rugged Mid-Level Options

The mid-level trims include the EX-L and Trailsport. These two trims vary dramatically in their styling and purpose. The 2023 Honda Pilot EX-L is the first trim with leather upholstery and tri-zone automatic climate control. Honda adds a 9.0-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, HD Radio, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, wireless device charging, an in-car intercom system called CabinTalk, and six USB ports. Additional convenience features include a power liftgate and parking sensors. Drivers can add optional second-row captain’s chairs.

The 2023 Honda Pilot TrailSport trim is designed for trails and off-roading. It has synthetic leather upholstery with rugged orange accents, a panoramic moonroof, standard second-row captain’s chairs, and a heated steering wheel. Honda also adds all-terrain tires, a full-size spare, steel skid plates, 8.3 inches of ground clearance, and an off-road suspension with Econ, Snow, and Trail modes. This trim is only available in all-wheel drive.

Exceptionally-Equipped Elite and Touring Trims

The top trims, Touring and Elite, take the Pilot to luxurious levels. The Pilot Touring has everything in the EX-L along with navigation, a Wi-Fi hotspot, a panoramic moonroof, and a robust 12-speaker stereo. Convenience features include a stowable seat in the second row and a hands-free power liftgate.

The Pilot Elite is only available in all-wheel drive. This trim includes everything in the Touring trim but adds ventilation to the front seats and heat to the second-row seats and steering wheel. It also has a 10.2-inch digital gauge cluster with a head-up display and a Surround-View Parking Camera System.
