I think its stupid how people knock the interior because it doesn't have the biggest screen or all these fancy things, when in reality what's the point?? As long as it's a solid reliable car with most of today's features then it's solid. When u start getting all fancy that's when stuff starts messing up & it's more expensive to fix. People just LOVE to complain I swear 😮💨🙄
Because that's how car companies trick people these days. For brands that people wouldn't touch 10 years ago (Hyundai/KIA, Mazda come to mind) the main selling point these days is technology. "Ignore our crappy materials and shoddy build quality LOOK AT ALL THESE SCREENS"
100% agreed. All these auto makers enticing people with technology but they spend pennies on the power train. I hate that it's all moving to touch screen controls as well. Give me old fashioned knobs for the controls.
lol same i have a 2009 Honda Pilot with 131800 miles. I changed the timing belt because that was the only issue. but now I'm only going to do oil changes and not repair anything else because I really want the new one.
I just traded in my 2013 Pilot and literally cried doing it. I loved that car. I didn't like the 2025 Pilot. Not a huge fan of the look and it's longer than the 2013 so would be a tight fit in my garage. I ended up getting a 2025 CRV hybrid. Which is only a few inches shorter. And I didn't need the 3rd row anymore
Thank y'all so much for breaking out the tape measure! So many reviewers don't. Cargo numbers are great, but I need the actual length and width. Keep up the great work.
Everyone's worried about interior and electronic BS. The Logical person will worry about the engine, fuel economy, reliability, safety, etc. I have an 09 pilot that's is still my everyday runner and it's been through a lot. ManyEast coast runs, MD-FL, and I pull dirtbikes with it, down paths I probably shouldn't of but it handles great. Not even the 4x4 version at that. Oh yeah, it's over 320K miles and still going. Honda pilots are solid vehicles.
Great job on measuring not only from the back of the front seats, but also from the 2nd and 3rd row, width and height of the cargo space! Noticed you’ve recently added those to your reviews, hopefully you’ll be able to update the other 3-row crossovers you’ve reviewed before.
Request answered! Hello Josh and Mason! Great video ❤❤❤ Love the pilot however not happy with the 9 and 7 inch display. Wish it could be the accord’s screen or Highlander’s screen. Excited for tomorrow’s video! ❤ Hope you’re having a good start to your week!
The only thing that I think puts this car (especially the size of this car) ahead of its competitors is the retention of that classic 3.5L V6 Honda engine and not a turbo'd 2.5L which means this engine will last forever. Parts of the interior look premium but they did cheap-out in areas such as the plasticky center-stack. Right- knee lean will be on that plastic surface which I wish they covered in soft-touch plastic at least. Also that resolution on the camera viewed on entertainment screen is weak as well. 3rd row comes in handy when shuffling around kids or even adult visitors and that's the strong selling point for this car including that valuable cargo space when those 3rd rows are folded downwards. That V6 is going to give you a seamless drive and you can feel that power and refinement this Honda engine can give you once you push that pedal down to the floor. I had it in my 2006 Honda Odyssey minivan and it was never a slouch especially with that VTEC engine. The one thing it doesn't have that those 2.5L Turbo engines are the electric motors that give you instant torque.
You can also flip the cap for the trunk cubby for the weather resistant material in case you have dirty stuff going in the trunk. (ex. the kids baseball cleats). He missed that at min/16:55
25:42 I have a 2017 Honda Pilot Touring. I have 321,000km and no problems. Best vehicle I have ever owned!!! I hope when they eventually make a Hybrid version that they keep the 3.5 litre engine. Best engine ever!!!!
That physical volume knob should be on the center console where the auto stop/start defeat button is (and the auto stop/start button should be next to the ignition button).
You really couldn't compare the two. The MDX has standard features like Jewel Eye headlights. The pilot doesn't have this. The suspension on the MDX is Double Wishbone. The Audio System is much better in MDX. However when you say Base MDX not sure if you mean any Non Type S trim. The Elite and Black Edition Pilot trims have features that only Advance Package MDX have. The 360 Multi-View Camera System and Ventilated front seats.
@mitchellshareratleast100su7 Still the Elite and Black Edition Pilot key features are AWD, Heads-Up Display, Ventilated Front Seats, 360 Multi-View Camera System, Heat Steering Wheel few other features. To get those same features in a Acura MDX you have to put the Advance Package. That puts that Acura at $64,000. You can't get a Base MDX and say you want to add ventilated seats or Heads-Up Display in windshield or 360 Multi-View Camera System. You have to get Advance Package to get these features. The Pilot has less premium standard features. But the Key ones on standard on Elite and Black Edition make that Acura MDX way more.
The Pilot is great and if you need the added utility, it's definitely the way to go. However, with very little negotiated effort, I purchased my 24 Acura MDX Advance for $59k....which is definitely worth the $4k premium over a Pilot BE.
That’s true but you can also get 4k off these which makes the difference 8k again. While I’d get an MDX myself I’d also argue this has some more capability too, they aren’t similar other than sharing a platform
@@davewilson7602 As this is a new trim, I suspect that a $4k markdown is few and far between for now. In all likelihood, one could probably get an even larger discount on the Advance since my store so readily took $6k off the sticker. (Likely due to the newly updated 25 models.)
The problem with your MDX and Pilot comparison is that the 3rd rows aren't even close in size. The Pilot 3rd row is much roomier, so if you need to haul a larger family, the Pilot unfortunately wins every time over the more luxurious MDX.
We just test drove the VW Atlas SEL Premium R-Line and the Pilot Black Edition. The VW has a great deal right now, making it very attractive with 0.9% financing and $4k below MSRP. The Atlas is also more spacious. However, the Pilot's resale value is unmatched compared to the Atlas. It's a tough choice. 😵💫
Excellent review. It certainly is spacious and 6-cylinder engines are hard to come by, but you point out what should be on the mind of everyone looking at this on the lot: The price for this creeps up really close to the MDX.
No it's not close in price. The Black Edition is an Elite with an appearance package extra cost. But an Elite Pilot trim does not have some of the premium standard features of MDX Jewel Eye headlights and Audio System. But you have to get Advance Package MDX to get few of the features the Pilot Elite and Black Edition have. The 360 Multi-View Camera System The Ventilated Front Seats The Heads-Up Display. Unless you get Advance Package MDX you don't get those features.
The way the second row seat moves to gain access to the third row is a major oversight if you have child car seats installed. I think Honda forgot the purpose of the car for a moment.
$55K. Does the US version have a windshield wiper fluid low indicator? Older pilots did, but I'm reading that Honda had inexplicably dropped it from the new generation of pilots. For that amount of money out should have alerts for every possible thing.
For 55k you can get a FWD Acura MDX with the Technology Package. Acura has better interior and exterior styling, a larger infotainment screen with better navigation software, and the 2025 models lose the track pad so it's now a touchscreen. I think Honda will need to heavily discount these to sway buyers to choose this over an MDX. Actually a base MDX starts at 50k and has a lot of the features this Pilot has.
@@nateg2468I have a 2022 MDX and wouldn't call the 3rd row tiny. My teenage boys who are around 5'8 frequently sit back there without hesitation. The second row seats are adjustable and can slide forward to allow for extra legroom. Honestly, for the latest tech and legroom the new GMC Acadia is hard to beat at its 48k price point.
@@starvinmarvin7964 not true about the markup. We leased our 2022 in the height of the car chip shortage and still got $2500 off MSRP with no mark up. I reached out to Acura a few weeks ago to get some numbers as our lease is up soon and they quoted 47k for a 2024 MDX Tech.
If I'm buying an SUV I'm getting AWD System not FWD. That's what Elite, Black Edition and TrailSport have. They all come standard with IVTM4. Torque Vectorng AWD System. Essentially the same Super Handling AWD Drive System in the Acura MDX. The 4th Generation Pilot 2023-2025 System was upgraded. This is Honda/Acura top AWD System Pilot, Ridgeline and Passport all have it. But the 4th Gen Pilot new platform got upgraded like Current MDX RDX. Many Honda Dealership couldn't even sell FWD version of Ridgeline Pickup Truck. That's why the discontinued FWD Ridgeline it just wasn't for the reason of towing. The 1st Generation Ridgeline 2006-2014 had 4WD System like 1st Gen Acura MDX. As another review said you don't buy a FWD Pilot. So guess that applies to MDX you buy it for Rear Diffrential. Super Handling AWD or IVTM4 System. Search Acura Super Handling AWD vs Honda IVTM4 AWD and it's been upgraded on newer Pilot. I just wouldn't buy a FWD MDX or Pilot.
Mister Mason - would you prefer the MDX over the Black Edition? if a buyer had the extra change, do you think the Acura is a little better? thanks - Tony 🤓
The pilot has a bigger third row and a/c vents in third row, if you use the third row alot, the pilot makes more sense. If you only use the third row on occasion and have the money, the mdx is alot nicer.
We test drove a hybrid Santa Fe a few days ago and was very disappointed in the quality of interior materials- felt very cheap and plastic-y. We traded in our 2012 Pilot for a ‘25 Pilot Elite yesterday and we couldn’t be happier! Much better quality materials as well as great reliability and resale value.
Its nice, I like the way it looks but for 55 thousand…. Not really. Especially when it comes down to feature content and material quality. Its not showing 55k materials. I mean its basically a pilot Elite thats blacked out. I feel like you can really black out everything out on that trim level and get this minus the seats and badges. Idk..for 55k i would get something like a palisade calligraphy night even thought I don’t really like the seats on those at all or get a telluride thats all black. However, I do like the fact that Honda has kept the V6 🙏🏾 in a time where every suv is dropping to these turbo 4’s, its nice to see a 6 cylinder option around ❤.
For how expensive this thing is... it seems so cheap inside. You're way, way better off getting a CPO MDX for the same price. That's what I did at least.
Honda Pilot is reliable and feels great to drive, but this one is definitely not worth 50,000. Better off getting a different model or at least wait till it depreciates and buy it used.
Look at Chinese Car, and see this car, I'm crying, why I don't have any chance to buy a car at a cheap price and better quality, good looking? Who can tell me how come?
So there’s not much difference in the elite and black addition other than more black exterior along with the strip of ambient lighting and it cost more compared to the elite?? That’s what I’m getting from this right?? So just pick up the elite so save on couple thousand then.
The interior seat color is Red/Black stitching red and front headrest Black Edition Logo Black wheels front grile. It looks good in Modern Steel Metallic exterior color. But I'm getting Pilot Elite in White Platinum Pearl exterior wit Brown interior.
@@fredmoss4540 I like the trail sport to do some light off road camping. With the tire and wheel along with the skid plate underneath. Bit the most important thing is I won’t have the middle seat. But I can get the elite and just add the other things little by little I guess. I want to have it for 10yrs at least and make it run for 500k miles is the goal. Or might get the CR-V hybrid for better mileage and do the same thing with that
It is not a hands-free system like super-cruise, so no. But it does automatically steer when adaptive cruise control is engaged as long as you keep your hands on the wheel.
You know what I have to say Honda please upgrade your technology to the new Honda Accord screen. Then maybe I will buy that cuz 9 in. That's just too small in today's standards. A lot of cars be having 12.3 in screens Honda. Please update your screen size for the Honda pilot
Because Honda has thousands of extra 9-inch screens sitting around that they've already paid for, and they need to get rid of them by installing them in the 25's.
Honda needs to step up that game boo boo!!!! 9 inch screen? And poor resolution? No wonder us cake having ebony queens don’t drive Hondas!!!! We know our worth and our yams deserve the best of the best!!!!!!
They both target different purposes. Pilot is more of a family hauler with the usability of a minivan in a truck like body. It runs on a naturally aspirated V6 that’s meant to be dogged around like a workhorse. CX90 is more luxurious and sleek with less space in the 3rd row and trunk area. It runs on an inline turbocharged V6 in a RWD platform that’s accelerates smoothly.
Until they get away from a tabley sticking straight up out of the dash as if it is 3rd party, I will NEVER buy a vehicle designed with such a hideous interior.

If you remove the middle seat, there are no armrests on the chairs. You have to select captain chairs as an option to get the captain chair armrests.

That physical volume knob should be on the center console where the auto stop/start defeat button is (and the auto stop/start button should be next to the ignition button).
The big H should be Dark grey if not blacked out
I’m waiting to get this in 2026 when they do the facelift and hopefully put the Accord infotainment screen in. The cut-out is there already
Hmm, you think so?

Honda always favors Acura and scrimpts on upper trim level comforts. The Black Edition should at least have a turbo engine.

It is not a hands-free system like super-cruise, so no. But it does automatically steer when adaptive cruise control is engaged as long as you keep your hands on the wheel.
It does not. It has a highway assist function with lane centering but not anything hands-free
Front and rear overhangs are laughably long, has that Toyota Grand Highlander extended crossover affect from the side. 😬
Blacker the berry sweeter the juice
Any considerations on IIHS safety ratings compared to Acura MDX and the Pilot? (as far technical measurements)
That interior looks like it belongs in a $25K vehicle. Not a $55K one.
I wonder which other luxury 3 row Suv gives more features than the pilot. Even the Lexus GX /TX for this price won't give much.
That screen is wayyyyyy too small compared to rivals
Feels so outdated inside like 2016/17 😅💯😏
Tire size?
20 inches
Hello Josh. And hope your brother is OK too.
Doing great!
I don't like perferated leather. Anything spilled on it will go right through it.
You know what I have to say Honda please upgrade your technology to the new Honda Accord screen. Then maybe I will buy that cuz 9 in. That's just too small in today's standards. A lot of cars be having 12.3 in screens Honda. Please update your screen size for the Honda pilot
generally have no idea why they didn't bring that technology on this new model
Because Honda has thousands of extra 9-inch screens sitting around that they've already paid for, and they need to get rid of them by installing them in the 25's.
Honda run stayble and save gas and last long
Honda needs to step up that game boo boo!!!! 9 inch screen? And poor resolution? No wonder us cake having ebony queens don’t drive Hondas!!!! We know our worth and our yams deserve the best of the best!!!!!!
9 in, not big enough? ❤😂 12 inch's to a yard I bet
Still no ac air vents on ceiling their ac sucks
You could give birth to multiple children in this puppy.
It’s a hearse 😂
Mazda is CX90 more luxurious inside out compare to this Pilot…gauge cluster and infotainment is outdated…
🤎🤎🤎
Rear end really ugly.
Mazda CX90 is way better.
Even CX70
You haven’t seen all the Cx90 issues have you?
@@Jeez001what issues are they having just curious
They both target different purposes.
Pilot is more of a family hauler with the usability of a minivan in a truck like body. It runs on a naturally aspirated V6 that’s meant to be dogged around like a workhorse.
CX90 is more luxurious and sleek with less space in the 3rd row and trunk area. It runs on an inline turbocharged V6 in a RWD platform that’s accelerates smoothly.
@@joshualewis2367lot of issues with hybrid power train.
I feel like palisade or Santa Fe is better
Until they get away from a tabley sticking straight up out of the dash as if it is 3rd party, I will NEVER buy a vehicle designed with such a hideous interior.
Kinda boring car.
