Not a huge increase. We bought a 2018 Pilot Touring and its MSRP was ~$45K. The Elite was maybe about $3K more. My wife loves this car. Gets around 28-31 MPG when we are mostly doing highway travel. In city maybe 24. We just replaced the factory Continentals (hated them in snow) and went with Falken Wildpeak in one size up 255/50-20. Great on Colorado hills and dirt (I do not intend to do off-roading!). 😀 I’d consider a new one but my wife loves it too much to trade. I kept our 2004 Pilot as my “truck”. Just getting broken in at 175K miles. Maintain these vehicles and they will last forever.
Any of the pilots are good. They all have the Honda's super reliable j-series engine. Same engine in all the pilots, 13-18' rdx, mdx, tlx, 08-17' accord, Ridgeline, Odyssey I have 193,000 miles on 12' accord 3.5 auto 5-speed. Newer Hondas got 6-speed autos, then the zf9 9-speed(customers complained), now onto Honda's in house 10speed. already used in Odyssey and 2.0t accords Now in new pilots and mdx
@@alphafiddlesticks5623 the 2007 I bought it at 130k miles. Unfortunately, i got tboned and was a total loss at 202k miles. My 2011 I bought it at 120k miles and still running strong today at 150k miles
It's just inflation. We got a fully loaded MDX in 2006 for 45k. If you run an inflation calculator, it is almost exactly how much a 2024 Loaded MDX goes for
It looks really nice I like that. It’s not a turbo charge. It’s a real vehicle with real power and real comfort for that price tag is really high. They’re making a lot of money off that vehicle a ton.
According to alot of people, that doesn't go for the new Accord. I'd say it's alr, but Honda's decision to remove the 2.0 L engine made me really disappointed. Some people would like a car that's a bit fast, and can still be very practical and have great MPG.
Went from 2022 lease to 2015 pilot purchased under 10,000 bucks with 82,000 miles. Best decision ever.. no monthly payment it’s a beautiful thing.. plus my 2015 have entertainment screens that allows both of my kids to enjoy a movie while we take long trips. Just wish they were better on gas but everything can’t be perfect.
I'm gonna hang onto my '13 Pilot as long as I can, mainly because you can't permanently disable the engine shutoff at stops. If they ever enable the owner to opt out of that for more than the current drive, I'll be interested. At 110k miles, my '13 is a great vehicle, has never failed me or even had a check engine light, and there's no engine start delay when I need to go. Stickin' with that, thanks.
As long as you don’t mind the price this is pretty much a perfectly versatile car, great luxury features, space, power, capability and driving experience. This is a great car, my mom bought a new Pilot and owned it from 2007-2021, so many memories in it
I’m a Honda guy that works at a Kia. This looks like it might give the Telluride some real competition. However, I do think the SX Prestige looks more premium. That 7 passenger capability is very nice on the Pilot though.
Just got a 25 Pilot Elite, black on brown leather for $49K total with taxes/fees all in. I was going to pay cash, but they gave 2.99% on 36 months, so that money is going back into investments where I'll make more money. (TLDR rant warning) Since I saved on msrp, I'm going to let myself get the wheels blacked out (I didn't vibe with the red accents in the Black Edition interior, especially with the sonic grey I think brown leather would look cool, which is too bad because I would have totally gotten the BE instead, I think honda misses the mark on giving too few ineterior options on at least the higher trims) just my opinion, I think the brown and the grey leather options should be available with the grey, sonic grey and red paint options. Forcing the black edition to have the red accents, doesn't go well with the sonic grey) The black edition in red paint looks good with those red accents, but I didn't see any available in my part of the country especially at a competitive price point. A trail sport, that allows the 8th seat, with sonic grey and brown or grey leather, I think would be a nice option as well. I know nobody from Honda is likely reading this, but the new styling is more appealing to guys than the last body design, and giving more interior options at least with the black edition and trail sport will sell more units, I promise! I realize, more options complicates manufacturing and can drive up costs a bit, so I get why they do it, but as someone who had to finally settle on an available option, I was willing to pay a bit more for the exact combination I was looking for. Either way I'm happy with what I got, and can set aside some $ in a separate high yield account for the soon approaching kids braces. Adulting sucks but I'm trying!
@GBraidi78 North Carolina. I called a lot of dealers to find the best deal. To be fair, I apologize but I realize now I gave the wrong value. It was actually closer to $52K factoring in my old clunker I traded in, and the $1K deposit I made. I'm still happy with the deal. Blacked out the rims and chrome accents for stealth look. Having great time with it. Just did family trip to Canada, drives like a dream, making memories. Hope you're happy with whatever you end up choosing!

To answer your question, I don't think anybody buy cars/suvs as frequently as buying eggs or milk.....so, that is understandable they when they start looking at the car price nowadays, they got sticker shock.......
We just traded our ‘22 Telluride for a Pilot EX-L. Pilot drives so much better and smoother. You can’t even feel it shifting gears. Handling, steering, road feel is outstanding! Telluride has some serious low end torque issues and jerky transmission compared to Pilot.
Damn I remember when the top trim Pilots just in 2019 were 45k. My dad got the 2019 touring, not elite for 36k out the door after everything only because that one had been sitting on the lot for a while only because of the color. But it was an amazing deal, it was almost fully loaded.
@@NJAlvarado612theres a recall that fixes the issue. My '17 pilot never had any issues but i brought it in anyways to check it out. Now it NEVER shuts the engine at a stop. I guess their 'fix' for the problem was just to completely remove the feature

If I'm not mistaken, he left out the 1 biggest reason I might consider this vehicle. this vehicle comes with the option of being a Gas / Electric Hybrid. Where the Telluride and Palisade do not. For myself, any SUV or van would have to be a Hybrid, for 24 hr climate control, since I'd be converting it to a car camper from day 1 of purchase. This does look pretty good though, and maybe a bit more space even than a Sienna ? But Im not sure if Id trust the Hybrid tech in this, over that of a the Toyota Sienna ?
While I do like the new Pilot I just don’t think it offers enough for such a price tag. The pathfinder tops out around $47-48k, the Telluride/Palisades top out around $53k same as pilot but offer more, the new Highlander tops out around $51-52k I think is too expensive but still cheaper than the pilot and that’s the platinum trim the limited trim i think is on par with the new Pilot Elite and is like $49-50k, heck even the new CX-90 seems promising with a more powerful inline 6 that will have two different tunes and a plug in hybrid with prices starting around mid $40k’s topping out around $60k. I think the Pilot trail sport is the package to get here, granted it comes with all terrain tires, and skid plates, same engine, same transmission, the Interior downgrades a bit but still comes with third row seating and panoramic sunroof, and priced around $49k a pretty competitive all around package, since only the new pathfinder Rick creek comes close, the Telluride SX-pro has no skid plates so it’s not in the same category as those two.
I have always and will always say this… Honda NEEDS to offer more interior color options and quit gatekeeping them to the Pilot!!! Could you imagine how beautiful this chocolate brown color or a light tan, a white, or even a red would look inside of an Accord or a CRV?!?! I don’t want to hear any bs about how they save them for their Acura brand or how it would eat into Acura’s sales. If that were true they wouldn’t offer this color on the pilot in fears of it eating into the MDX’s sales AND not to mention somebody looking at a Honda isn’t in the market for an Acura. PLEASE HONDA, PLEASE GIVE US MORE INTERIOR COLOR CHOICES!
Not paying 50k for Korean car. Reliability is not there. How many 20 year old Hyundai’s you see on the road. Versus Honda’s? I see 20 plus year old Hondas still going strong.
Hot take - I prefer the Gen 3 body style… in fact, I just bought a 2021 Special Edition Pilot with only 22k miles Certified for only $29k. I don’t mind “wired” car play.
If I hit the jackpot, this will be the vehicle that I will buy. Sadly, with my current salary and the so many monthly bills (mortgage and other home essentials) plus the “extended” family commitments, obviously I can’t afford to buy this Honda Pilot.
Nice but I'm definitely getting the telluride. My telluride will even have ventilated 2nd row! And a digital rear view mirror. And 2 sunroof. And a continuous display to the infotainment display. And it's just looks way sportier than the pilot. Pilot just looks like a minivan with suv doors. With looks and luxury, Telluride has redefined this suv crossover arena. I am not associated with or paid by kia, but I AM very excited about my new telluride next month lol
My advice to friends that buy Korean or European cars. Don't keep them past warranty. Tellurides win a lot of comparisons. I'll stick with my low mileage (114k) 06 Odyssey minivan.
@@dannybryant6873 I'm coming from a 300k '09 odyssey, great vans! And I completely agree about replacing after the warranty ends. 10 yr 100k definitely gives me some time tho. For the record, I could be happier tight now in my telluride prestige xline. It's pretty great!
Niece wanted a new Seinna. But the shortage made them too expensive. So she got a Telluride. It looks nice and Tellurides win a lot of comparisons for family vehicle.
Honda Pilot has a reputation of longevity and reliability as per consumers’ reports and professional car reviewers. Kia Telluride 2022-2022 models were demanded for recall by the federal agency for engine fire risk, which has been hand-in-hand with the Korean car brands (Hyundai as well).
Honda Pilot had a recall. Please stop trying to use "reliability" to saved your failing brand when they have too many problems with their transmission issues. Thank you fanbot.
Kia has not had any engine related fires on the Tellurides, the only recall they’ve had has been for the towing harness in some models and that has already been addressed. Honda’s reliability has been worst than Toyota/Kia and Hyundai for many years now, even more than some domestic brands.
Needs a bigger touchscreen and better fuel economy. Perhaps introduce a hybrid. I'm sure the refresh will get the bigger 12 inch touchscreen like the new Accord.
I will say as a telluride owner I didn’t hear anything that it has that my mid range telluride doesn’t. If they made an off road focused one more like the new passport that would tip me towards the pilot
The fact that the Accord has a 12.3in touchscreen and this has a 9in is just weird to me. And I hope the MDX gets the same storage for the middle seat in the next refresh.
Oh well, i was looking into getting a new pilot, but my 2013 pilot touring is still running well. a con in the new pilot is honda removed the rear entertainment system, which means kids cant watch movies. i would buy a used 2012-2015 pilot.
The Pilot should have been offered with a hybrid engine option. There is no longer any excuse for manufacturers to fail to offer a hybrid with better fuel economy in a newly designed vehicle.
Hybrids are losing market interest. Who wants a car that can give you more headaches than it should because it has all of these complex batteries and electric motors? Nobody.
Don’t they still have engine failure issues involving the cylinder deactivation? If they do then it’s not better than pretty much anything out there at the moment…..
The new Grand Highlander have 97.5 cubic feet of cargo space when 2nd and 3rd row seats are folded and 20.6 cubit feet of cargo space will all seats up.
Pilot has 114.3 cu ft with all seats down, 21.8 cu ft behind the 3rd row in particular models and 22.4 for others. Highlander gives better mileage. Can’t speak to tech so test drive both and see which is better for you. I’m my research I realize car reviews on UA-cam can go only so far and a test drive may seal the deal or make you walk away.
I’d still take the Mazda CX-90 with its Turbo’d and hybridized inline 6 with 340 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque alongside its rear wheel based awd system by a long shot. Nicer interior, better fuel economy, better driving dynamics, and far classier exterior design that’ll age gracefully.
Nice! Always liked the Pilot since first gen but I guess 50K is the new 30K
Dude fr. I'd pay 40-45K but 53K is pushing it too far
I think it’s the elite trim which is the most expensive I think.

The pathfinder tops out around $47-48k, the Telluride/Palisades top out around $53k same as pilot but offer more, the new Highlander tops out around $51-52k I think is too expensive but still cheaper than the pilot and that’s the platinum trim the limited trim i think is on par with the new Pilot Elite and is like $49-50k, heck even the new CX-90 seems promising with a more powerful inline 6 that will have two different tunes and a plug in hybrid with prices starting around mid $40k’s topping out around $60k.
I think the Pilot trail sport is the package to get here, granted it comes with all terrain tires, and skid plates, same engine, same transmission, the Interior downgrades a bit but still comes with third row seating and panoramic sunroof, and priced around $49k a pretty competitive all around package, since only the new pathfinder Rick creek comes close, the Telluride SX-pro has no skid plates so it’s not in the same category as those two.
Honda should up their game!! The interior looks so old fashion !!! Hyundai and kia are way on top of the game !
And they are both crap cars.
I have always and will always say this… Honda NEEDS to offer more interior color options and quit gatekeeping them to the Pilot!!! Could you imagine how beautiful this chocolate brown color or a light tan, a white, or even a red would look inside of an Accord or a CRV?!?!
I don’t want to hear any bs about how they save them for their Acura brand or how it would eat into Acura’s sales. If that were true they wouldn’t offer this color on the pilot in fears of it eating into the MDX’s sales AND not to mention somebody looking at a Honda isn’t in the market for an Acura.
PLEASE HONDA, PLEASE GIVE US MORE INTERIOR COLOR CHOICES!
Palasade killed this class
It’s over rated.
Not paying 50k for Korean car. Reliability is not there. How many 20 year old Hyundai’s you see on the road. Versus Honda’s? I see 20 plus year old Hondas still going strong.
Hot take - I prefer the Gen 3 body style… in fact, I just bought a 2021 Special Edition Pilot with only 22k miles Certified for only $29k. I don’t mind “wired” car play.
If I hit the jackpot, this will be the vehicle that I will buy. Sadly, with my current salary and the so many monthly bills (mortgage and other home essentials) plus the “extended” family commitments, obviously I can’t afford to buy this Honda Pilot.
Nice but I'm definitely getting the telluride. My telluride will even have ventilated 2nd row! And a digital rear view mirror. And 2 sunroof. And a continuous display to the infotainment display. And it's just looks way sportier than the pilot. Pilot just looks like a minivan with suv doors.
With looks and luxury, Telluride has redefined this suv crossover arena.
I am not associated with or paid by kia, but I AM very excited about my new telluride next month lol
My advice to friends that buy Korean or European cars. Don't keep them past warranty.
Tellurides win a lot of comparisons.
I'll stick with my low mileage (114k) 06 Odyssey minivan.
@@dannybryant6873 I'm coming from a 300k '09 odyssey, great vans! And I completely agree about replacing after the warranty ends. 10 yr 100k definitely gives me some time tho.
For the record, I could be happier tight now in my telluride prestige xline. It's pretty great!
Niece wanted a new Seinna. But the shortage made them too expensive. So she got a Telluride. It looks nice and Tellurides win a lot of comparisons for family vehicle.
How roomy is the 3rd row? Speaker enough for full adults?
Check out our Full Review linked in the description for detailed information about the third row seating 🙂
What year and model is this? Which ones offer the removable middle seat???
Comparing this and the new traverse the only thing I’ve liked about this is the bench seat can be removed and made into captain seats
Honda Pilot has a reputation of longevity and reliability as per consumers’ reports and professional car reviewers. Kia Telluride 2022-2022 models were demanded for recall by the federal agency for engine fire risk, which has been hand-in-hand with the Korean car brands (Hyundai as well).
Honda Pilot had a recall. Please stop trying to use "reliability" to saved your failing brand when they have too many problems with their transmission issues. Thank you fanbot.
Kia has not had any engine related fires on the Tellurides, the only recall they’ve had has been for the towing harness in some models and that has already been addressed. Honda’s reliability has been worst than Toyota/Kia and Hyundai for many years now, even more than some domestic brands.
@@fcg243 There are federal mandates of Kia/Hyundai recalls for engine fire risk, wtf??? You can simply Google it.
@@lane5686 Bro, stop trolling. F C is right. The telluride had recalls on their towing harness on some models. Just stop being a pathetic troll.
@@lane5686 Not on Telluride. Google it.
9 inch screen is smaller than many other info screens, right?
Хороший аппарат Хонда. Спасибо за обзор видео 👍.
Needs a bigger touchscreen and better fuel economy. Perhaps introduce a hybrid. I'm sure the refresh will get the bigger 12 inch touchscreen like the new Accord.
Hybrid I would buy asap
As a native Floridian, the love bug grill 😬
never thought that it would be a debate as to whether honda is better than kia
I will say as a telluride owner I didn’t hear anything that it has that my mid range telluride doesn’t. If they made an off road focused one more like the new passport that would tip me towards the pilot
For 53k Is it fast?
I like it and prefer the V6 over the grand Highlander’s I4T. But, I think the Toyota has a more spacious third row.
Don’t forget new Honda v6 engine have cylinder deactivation. Not that great thing. Old V6 really nice!
Prices doubled in 20 years that’s not counting addons and ghost fees !!! But that’s Toyota RAV4 looking thing 😂😂😂
The fact that the Accord has a 12.3in touchscreen and this has a 9in is just weird to me. And I hope the MDX gets the same storage for the middle seat in the next refresh.
Oh well, i was looking into getting a new pilot, but my 2013 pilot touring is still running well. a con in the new pilot is honda removed the rear entertainment system, which means kids cant watch movies. i would buy a used 2012-2015 pilot.
which the 2012-2015 is more boxier and has a TV.
Nice SUV, but 53k is ridiculous price. You can get....Lexus instead😊
Telluride is the king of this segment
But the Honda will actually stand the test of time. The Telluride, like all other Kia cars, will be in need of repairs shortly after buying.
The Pilot should have been offered with a hybrid engine option. There is no longer any excuse for manufacturers to fail to offer a hybrid with better fuel economy in a newly designed vehicle.
Hybrids are losing market interest. Who wants a car that can give you more headaches than it should because it has all of these complex batteries and electric motors? Nobody.
@@P_double_H Toyota Hybrids are very reliable and are even used in the taxis industry that runs them close to 24/7 and 365 days of the year
9" display?Is this 2014?
Had the 09 and liked it… 53!?!? What n the hell
this is elite trim. lower trims $40k
Looks like all the newer models no longer offer a CD player. Why?
Nobody needs a cd player in their car in 2023
Everyone just streams music or uses Sirius XM satelllite radio nowadays.
Telluride looks so much better
Just got the Hyundai Santa Fe SEL 38000 has everything plus some that this car has 😂
All-new V6? All-new?
Drives great on the interstate. Sucks in town. Very sluggish from dead stop. Drive before you buy.
Class leading meaning larger than a grand Highlander?
Don’t they still have engine failure issues involving the cylinder deactivation? If they do then it’s not better than pretty much anything out there at the moment…..
Hi Mason Would you choose this over Telluride? Pls advise!
No, they chose a new Santa Fe and it failed after less than 35km
is this better than Highlander max / Lexus TX ?
People realize it’s the trim level that makes this one expensive. You can get an lower trim in the 40K range easy
Having a v6 vs a turbo 4 is nice these days.
The new Grand Highlander have 97.5 cubic feet of cargo space when 2nd and 3rd row seats are folded and 20.6 cubit feet of cargo space will all seats up.
Pilot has 114.3 cu ft with all seats down, 21.8 cu ft behind the 3rd row in particular models and 22.4 for others.
Highlander gives better mileage. Can’t speak to tech so test drive both and see which is better for you. I’m my research I realize car reviews on UA-cam can go only so far and a test drive may seal the deal or make you walk away.
Does is have a 360 camera tho?
Longer, removable middle seat? They basically made it more like the Odyssey. It still looks really good, but Telluride still packs the most value
Nice car. Surprised they didn’t get rid of that silly gear selector
Nice UA-cam short but the title to your video is cut in half by the notch on my iPhone 👍
I sat in this at the Auto show. Honda did good, but could've done better. Especially that 9in infotainment should be bigger
Telluride looks better on the outside and inside.
For 50k it better have a 400hp v8
Wonder if Honda will make a Hybrid and a Plug in Hybrid Versions of the Pilot to compete with the Kia Sorento?
What the interest rate? It'll be next to $70,000 to pay for that within 6 years
What year is this pilot?
Does elite trim comes with spare tire?
I don't feel a lot of difference left between top trim models from non luxury brands and models from luxury brands.
Where did you shoot the video beautiful place?
We were in Sedona, Arizona 👍
I’d still take the Mazda CX-90 with its Turbo’d and hybridized inline 6 with 340 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque alongside its rear wheel based awd system by a long shot. Nicer interior, better fuel economy, better driving dynamics, and far classier exterior design that’ll age gracefully.
telluride has 7-8 row seating, more power, more towing, more safety features, nappa leather, blind spot monitor and arguably more attractive styling.
