I drove one of these yesterday. The steering is so sharp on this for an SUV. It felt small for its size with its sharp and responsive steering. Engine felt great.
Enjoy watching your reviews but at the beginning of the video you said the vehicle is a 2025 then a couple of times you said it was a 2024 either way nice vehicle
I'm not saying that I don't like Honda itself, since they are the world leader in quality and reliability, I just think that it is time for them to refine their products a little more and more in the interior, which is where the driver and passengers spend most of the time. time, that's why I like mazda CX-90 3.3 better for that price
I see myself driving a car like this... I've liked honda for a long time, I was in love with the 10th gen accord 2.0 turbo engine, now I'm loving this design of the pilot elite. I want this car so badly
@charlesa3505 I watched tons of 4th Generation 2023-2025 Pilot reviews for over a year. Most knock the Pilot for its smaller infotainment screen. The Kia Telluride and Hyundai Palisade get better scores for better gadgets technology interior. At least 6 UA-cam reviewers say the Honda Pilot prioritize Driving Dynamics over the Kia and Hyundai. So stuff like soaking up road imperfections and driving dynamics. Scavegees reviews of Pilot AWD. The IVTM4 Torque Vectorng AWD System similar to the Acura Super Handling AWD. System. They basically say the Telluride and Palisade are more couch they lay their. The Pilot was not the fastest or not most fuel efficient. But it's driving dynamics were better. This was echoed by at least 6 other UA-cam reviews I've seen on Pilot.
The Pilot Elite/Black Edition have some key features the Tech MDX won't have. Ventilated front seats, Heads-Up Display in windshield, Multi-View Camera System 360. To get that on the Acura MDX you have to get Advance Package. Now the MDX is a more premium vehicle with premium standard features. Jewel Eye Headlights, Double Wishbone Suspension. But I definitely wanted key features Pilot Elite/Black Edition have. The IVTM4 Torque Vectorng AWD. 360 Multi-View Camera System. Ventilated Front Seats , Heated Steering Wheel. I'll take the Heads-Up Display in windshield and 2nd Row Heated Seats. The Pilot has more Cargo volume than the MDX. The MDX doesn't have same exact space as Pilot underneath in rear to stowaway 2nd Row middle seat. I wouldn't be taken seat out to stowaway. But I would be using that deep well space for cargo or hiding things out of sight. It not lockable like Ridgeline in-bed trunk We have Ridgeline, but the extra space underneath is welcome.
@@charlesa3505 that’s true, but didn’t expect atleast some improvements specifically the display monitor and maybe some more advance camera functions also the ventilating seats are trash…. Palisades are way better for it…. I just think the elite model should be having the same or even more features can the top trim for palisades or Subaru ascents
So... You said that there's no captains chairs for 2nd row... You are wrong For the elite trim *and blackout* you can remove the middle seat. You fold it down, then there's a lever near where the seat meets the floor. It can be removed and stowed under the cargo floor in the trunk
It baffles me also but not a deal breaker. The 2nd Generation Ridgeline got knocked for this. When they did the first refresh they added real exhaust outlets. But it must be reason. The Acura MDX has outlets.

Got one last weekend pearl white brown leather interior...it drives amazing! And beautiful
Thank you for always testing out the window pane, and steering feel. Your reviews are excellent.
Thanks for watching! Hit the subscribe button if you’re new and stay tuned for tomorrow’s review of the 2024 Honda Ridgeline Trailsport!
I keep my eyes open for that video Will.
Also the middle seat in the second row can be taken out, thats why there's a large space in the truck.
They didn't update to the larger 12inch Accord touch screen...come on Honda.
Enjoy watching your reviews but at the beginning of the video you said the vehicle is a 2025 then a couple of times you said it was a 2024 either way nice vehicle
There is also a second button in the truck, if you push you can just walk away and the trunk closes on its own
Still, nothing changed, it's the same as the 2024 model. I'm hoping they make the infotainment bigger like the Accord, plus the option for hybrid.
Fabulous!! Mr. WTF you called it the top-trim but the Black Edition is technically the top trim for 2025. Love ya!
will the panorama roof become lethal in rollover accident?
So which would you choose between a 2025 Honda Pilot Elite or a 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Limited?
I hopefully someday, I would buy this SUV.

Thorough review. Much appreciated!
amazing review
How does this drive compared to the Tahoe?
Thanks for good review :)
Hi I have a question is the Toyota highlander grand bigger than the Honda pilot
Nice ride!
Can you do a review of the new traverse RS?
I’ll try getting my hands on one asap! 👍🏼
I think that for that price there are better options on the market like the Mazda CX-90 3.3, it is my opinion and personal taste 😉
I agree, the Mazda's highest trim costs $3k less
55k... just spend the money on a van or telluride
@charlesa3505 this drives better than the telluride according to reviews from people who drove both

Comparing 2025 Acura MDX TEch vs 2025 Honda Pilot Elite , why should one get Honda Pilot Elite over the Acura MDX Tech? Cheaper in price?
Cheaper price, standard AWD and a more spacious 3rd row! 👍🏼

Does the pilot come with a hitch as an option?
we have the 2023 pilot elite.... its crazy how two years now and there is no massive difference still....
But thats good? U really wanna feel regret when 2 years later, the next model is insanely more different

What hell are the ten gears for?
So... You said that there's no captains chairs for 2nd row... You are wrong
For the elite trim *and blackout* you can remove the middle seat. You fold it down, then there's a lever near where the seat meets the floor. It can be removed and stowed under the cargo floor in the trunk
But you don't have armrest in the middle once center seat is removed.
The TrailSport has the captains chairs with folding armrest.
I can’t get over that fake exhaust tip.
Facts why not just put a real one or just don't put one
It baffles me also but not a deal breaker. The 2nd Generation Ridgeline got knocked for this.
When they did the first refresh they added real exhaust outlets.
But it must be reason.
The Acura MDX has outlets.
2024 or 2025? Get it right.
It’s a 2025, car manufacturers like to start the next model year after a few months of a new year.
2025 elite is the same as 2024 elite just more money! 10 speed tansmission eify..doesn't know what gear to be in
Those exhaustes are fake 😂
What?
