best review. most of those on youtube look like they are done by a sales rep with lot of music than details. the added text comments in the video is really helpful. keep up the good work and these honest and critical reviews.
So detailed... I liked that you'd also included the other models throughout the video. I was looking to purchase an older model (2015), but from watching lots of videos I'm looking to step in a newer year...2016-2019 (glad the volume knob has returned too)... Thank you for making the video!🎉💃👣🤗
Dude solid overview of the changes - noted all the little changes that people shopping an 18 against a 19 may not notice right away. Keep up the good work!
I'm glad that honda refreshed the pilot it looked a bit old, but not only they've refreshed the Pilot, but also the hrv to which i'm excited for you to review.
Thanks for the great video. Very thorough review. I own a 2017 Elite, which I love, but for 2019, it looks like they addressed everything that I didn't love about the 2017.
Great review and great car I love the changes I’m definitely buying the touring I’m not sold about no bench 2nd row in only lx-ex-l but everything else is much better espically the cabin talk, cabin speak and all those!
Hey just wanted to let you know that you can still get bench seating on the Touring if you prefer. Only the Elite is locked into captain chairs. Sorry for not being clear about that!
I can't understand that decision. If I am buying a third row, I most likely have a large family and therefore need all the seats I can get. So buying top of the line reduces my capacity. I just don't get it. Captains chairs add little in my opinion, even if you don't need the seating.
I love the new taillights. I'm glad they moved the reverse lamps up into the actual assembly. I can't even fathom how some automakers put the turn signal, and reverse lamps down low on the bumper.
I have a 2017 Pilot and can't stand that the reverse lights is so low down on the bumper. If a car is directly in back of you they wouldn't be able to see if you needed to back-up. I wish they would go back to the dual exhaust in the rear...it would give it a more sporty look to separate it more from the Odyssey.
billyvision Omg I thought I was the only one who hated the reverse lights being on the bottom. I agree, how is the car behind you going to see your reverse light is on. This is the same with the RAV4, Mitsubishi SUV’s, the new Santa Fe, etc. And they also included a volume knob unlike that volume swiping thing which I hated. It’s as if Honda read my mind.
Jeffery Zigbuo You cared enough to leave a reply and honestly, the time you invested in composing your comment was time poorly spent on your end. I'll be enjoying my cookie in the meantime. Mmmm...double chocolate chip is the 💣
I wish automakers would relax with all the chrome trim they keep adding to cars.. I mean at least do black chrome instead.. the traditional shinny chrome is so outdated and annoying.
Excellent review. Thank you. I just have one small suggestion. Please move the cameras slower and/or get a 2nd camera person to shoot while the other reviews. In some spots I was almost getting motion sick and had to turn away. But other than that, it was a great review.
It's interesting how the CR-V has full LED tail lights, but yet Honda's newer and more expensive models don't (the Odyssey, Accord, even the Acura RDX) & by full, I mean LED turning signals in the rear
Glad to hear that! Rear defrost is standard, and you will get fog lights as long as you don't buy the base trim (LX). They are on sale nation wide right now
Nice review. I'd like to make a suggestion for you guys. As you mentioned early on in the review, 3 row crossovers are becoming quite the demand. Families are shifting from vans to crossovers. I suggest that 1 or both of you take a Child Passenger Safety Technician (CPST) certification course. Getting that certification will help you know and understand the car seat safety features of the vehicles you review to help families know what to expect and look for. For example, all trims of the Pilot offer Top Tether Anchors (TAs) in ALL of the rear seating positions. This is HUGE for families with multiple kids in car seats. Visit cert.safekids.org/become-tech to find a class near you. It truly will help add another level of knowledge to your reviews.
This better be good, I drove the current version and it wasn't comfortable at all! P/S, that was a great review. I'm not really impressed with the Pilot given your great review. I'll stick with the Odyssey, more practical and better interior.
Another fantastic review. But if I can give some constructive criticism. For the speaker showing. You need to find songs (in your royalty-free library). The highlights mids, highs and lows. Like poppy songs and smooth and low tones.
Very good review. I bought the 2019 Pilot EXL with Navigation and RE system yesterday, very impressive. I did not understand the Auto/Stop feature you talked about, what is that about. Thanks.
@@CarConfections thanks for the quick reply, wouldn't this action of stopping and starting, would wear the engine and consume more gas. i suppose you can disable this feature, not sure if is available in the EXL.
Is the one button seat folding dangerous? If someone is sitting there and a child presses the button playing around? Also what if a car seat is there and someone presses it playing around? Just wondering because I don’t trust my kids not to touch it, but love this model. Thanks for the review!
Well I can't say I tried that, but I do know that it doesn't fold with a great deal of force. I would think that the weight of having someone in the seat would be enough to keep it from sliding. Thanks for watching!
It's nicer than it's predecessor. Now I bet it still uses a timing belt under the hood.😂😂🤣🤣 Honda should have kept the j35 and engineer it for the 21st century
Tap the little notification bell next to the subscribe emblem on our channel. Then it should notify you every time. I hate that UA-cam doesn't notify our subscribers too! We don't have as many people that regularly watch our reviews that way 😒
Car Confections I just wanted to let you know that a channel by the name of Amazing Cars reposted this video in multiple videos. Just looking out for you guys. They are the ones with the blue triangle user photo by the way.
I hate the horizontal tach but I get it; most buyers of the Pilot could care less how fast the engine is spinning. Also, what's with the unnecessarily huge physical (as in: not digital) fuel and temp gauges? Why not have the entire instrument panel a configurable digital display?
I like it But, Do they have a trim with stick shifter? I don’t like pushing bottoms to drive my car, makes me feel like a 98 years old lady, or dumb person. A mom or ladies want to keep feeling cool driving a family car. Also I would have like to see the air vents on top, when I put my baby’s car seat in the middle of bench kind of block the AC.
That drivers side arm rest prevented us from getting the pilot and we got the mdx instead. Not only is it uncomfortable for long rides but it is flimsy and very mini vanish.
Convinced that the Honda Pilot is the best SUV out there? compare to the Ford Explorer it has eye opening advantages over the pilot that's why it's been the best selling mid-size 3 row SUV in the country for 28 years
Nah! The only reason Ford sells more this or that is the missconception that many people have about buying American "because foreign brands take their profits back to their countries" and "Ford, GM and Dodge keep their profits in America" LOL!
Why does motor sound so noisy and chatty... I hate that. Love the car but every time I see one on the road the motor is so loud.... what’s up with that??
Yeah, It is kind of a disappointment! with the timing belt, it supposed to be more quiet, but NO! Toyota has a timing chain, so the engine lasts longer, and the engine doesn't sound this loud.
They did a terrible refresh... I mean the pilot never looked good, but this is bad! Honda just slaps on the same front to all their vehicles. I think their designers need a refresh and some new designer blood is needed. Good review as always though!!!!!! ☺
As the owner of a 2017 Touring I kind of like the refresh, including all the interior enhancements. I think the only thing I do not like about the exterior is the newly added chrome strips on the side. Of course this is is just my opinion and it is my wife's car and not mine.
I don't know about terrible but they should have done better! So many attractive designs everywhere and with simple computer design programs, why can't they simply come up with one by superimposing several nice looking ones from the competition or even classic ones from decades ago, fine tune them for aerodynamics and boom! They already offer excellent engines! Step up the aesthetics department and hire some Italian designers already!
It's an effect caused by the cameras frame rate syncing up with the cars lights frame rate. Unfortunately I don't know of anything we could do about it!
My everyday Honda SUV!! Brilliant job bro.
Definitely one of the best car reviews I’ve seen! Great job!
best review. most of those on youtube look like they are done by a sales rep with lot of music than details. the added text comments in the video is really helpful. keep up the good work and these honest and critical reviews.
Thank you! We appreciate that!
You guys are getting good at being first on UA-cam with new models. Nice review!
Thanks so much!

Thanks so much! Glad you found it helpful!
Impeccable review! I am definitely loving the updated design of the new 2019 Pilot. Bravo, Honda!
You’re finally driving the vehicle your reviewing!! Bravo!!!
I'm glad that honda refreshed the pilot it looked a bit old, but not only they've refreshed the Pilot, but also the hrv to which i'm excited for you to review.
We'll do the HR-V as soon as it arrives!
I clearly think that people will look at the new pilot as a better SUV so I hope they get more sales! Also nice review!
Yay!! The volume knob is back!!!!👍👍
Thanks for the great video. Very thorough review. I own a 2017 Elite, which I love, but for 2019, it looks like they addressed everything that I didn't love about the 2017.
You're welcome! Glad you liked it!
Great review as always my friends 👍
Is that a CD player I saw?
Love the Pilot!!
MoNo K it is. But it only comes in the ones with the RES
Great review and great car I love the changes I’m definitely buying the touring I’m not sold about no bench 2nd row in only lx-ex-l but everything else is much better espically the cabin talk, cabin speak and all those!

I want the Elite with bench seating..it should be an option !

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
The headlights look much better. And they don't look tiny like before. And those wheel look nice.
Thanks guys, great job!
Glad you liked it!
Very nice review
Thanks!
Great thorough review, and a fast upload. I couldnt help but notice how you jam your hand into the door handle at 5:34
I love the redesigned and updated 2019 Pilot, The Elite can now compete with the high end Acura MDX with 10k less.
There's not a lot of changes in the exterior but I haven't watched the whole video yet so but I know it's gonna be an awesome review as always
Haha thanks :)
I would choose a refreshed Pilot Elite over the current Acura MDX.

Jeffery Zigbuo Don’t be mad you can only afford a used Kia. Work more and troll less and you may be able to afford on elf these.
You should put a note at 7:30 that you meant to say 2019. Great review!
Thanks! We didn't notice that!
Nice Review as always. Appreciate the detail.
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed!!👍
Love all the updates
I will buy this one now in Aug!! so excited
Luanne RR is good 👱🏻♀️??
I wish automakers would relax with all the chrome trim they keep adding to cars.. I mean at least do black chrome instead.. the traditional shinny chrome is so outdated and annoying.
And then there are folks like me who buy chromed out 2018 Yukon Denali's like I just did.
That's right BLACK ON BLACK is in now....
Cali Made couldn’t agree more
Looking to get one of these for my wife soon. Great job with the review guys!
Thank you!
Excellent review. Thank you. I just have one small suggestion. Please move the cameras slower and/or get a 2nd camera person to shoot while the other reviews. In some spots I was almost getting motion sick and had to turn away. But other than that, it was a great review.
Thanks we appreciate that! We have upgraded cameras to one with vastly better stabilization so it makes things much better in that regard
자세한 리뷰 잘 봤습니다
well detailed presentation
Thank you!
FINALLY! A VOLUME KNOB
GTS Elevators waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
There’s a volume adjuster on the steering wheel, right?
At&t Wooo!!! Lol! Great video, as always.
Lol thanks!
Nice review
It's interesting how the CR-V has full LED tail lights, but yet Honda's newer and more expensive models don't (the Odyssey, Accord, even the Acura RDX) & by full, I mean LED turning signals in the rear
Thank you. I am going to get this based on this review...is there rear defrost with wipers? Fog lights? Thanks. Is it available now?
Glad to hear that! Rear defrost is standard, and you will get fog lights as long as you don't buy the base trim (LX). They are on sale nation wide right now
Thank you....I am going forward this week...hope it's very comfortable in driver's seat.
Honda Pilot touring VS Subaru Ascent Touring? Thoughts?
Nice review.
I'd like to make a suggestion for you guys. As you mentioned early on in the review, 3 row crossovers are becoming quite the demand. Families are shifting from vans to crossovers.

Is it normal for the display screen to constantly flicker? Other than that its a nice truck.. Great review
big ed it just the frame rate of the video camera
Thanks! And, yes, it has to with frame rate of the camera (it's not actually happening)
Car Confections appreciate the answer... you can tell i dont video a lot
That's a cool looking minivan
I love my Honda Pilot!
Honda ... these features should have been standard like in the Highlander. The only thing I truly appreciated was the led daytime running light
This better be good, I drove the current version and it wasn't comfortable at all!
P/S, that was a great review. I'm not really impressed with the Pilot given your great review. I'll stick with the Odyssey, more practical and better interior.
何年も思っています。
本当に欲しい１台です。
まだ諦めません。
Great review. I bought a Fit after watching your review. Please do a ridgeline. I’m ready to trade in my 2007 for a new one.
Awesome! Glad to hear that! We should have a 2019 Ridgeline soon (I'm hoping)!
They have to make those turn signals LEDS just like the CRV, it doesn’t compete the redesigned look without them.
Another fantastic review. But if I can give some constructive criticism. For the speaker showing. You need to find songs (in your royalty-free library). The highlights mids, highs and lows. Like poppy songs and smooth and low tones.
Yeah we are getting ready to add some more songs to our collection soon so we'll keep that in mind 👍
Car Confections Great review! Can you use the remote start feature to start the HVAC?
Thank you! I believe the climate controls automatically activate when you use remote start
Love the review this suv needs more power more torque nice legs
Which is bigger the 2009-2015 vs this one
Very good review. I bought the 2019 Pilot EXL with Navigation and RE system yesterday, very impressive. I did not understand the Auto/Stop feature you talked about, what is that about. Thanks.
Thanks! Auto start/stop is when the engine turns off at redlights and then restarts when you lift your foot off the brake
@@CarConfections thanks for the quick reply, wouldn't this action of stopping and starting, would wear the engine and consume more gas. i suppose you can disable this feature, not sure if is available in the EXL.
@@carapungo it can be disabled. It supposedly saves fuel but I don't think there are any studies on the long-term reliability impact
“Machine made allow rims” really are others hand made?? Just messin with you... great review.
Might be picking one up in 2020 or 2019!
Is the one button seat folding dangerous? If someone is sitting there and a child presses the button playing around? Also what if a car seat is there and someone presses it playing around? Just wondering because I don’t trust my kids not to touch it, but love this model. Thanks for the review!

Here under 100 views, I hate youtube for not giving me a notification though!!
Tap the little notification bell next to the subscribe emblem on our channel. Then it should notify you every time. I hate that UA-cam doesn't notify our subscribers too! We don't have as many people that regularly watch our reviews that way 😒
WOW, they will double their sales now because of the volume knob.
Ya know what I think I’ll buy one
The 2003 model, lol you didn’t think I could afford this one could you?
Haha good one 😂
Lorenzo Liburd nice
Which one do you think is better? This or the Subaru Ascent? Please do a comparison 🙏🏻
How long is the cargo space....floor to row 1?
Car Confections I just wanted to let you know that a channel by the name of Amazing Cars reposted this video in multiple videos. Just looking out for you guys.
They are the ones with the blue triangle user photo by the way.
. Thank you very much for letting us know! We will take care of it!
Also, is it possible to retrofit the blind spot monitoring to my Pilot 2017 EXL?
You don’t need to press the lock button on the remote twice to use the remote start, at least in the older models.
I like the thicc chrome bar. 😉
I owned the 2016 elite model. Recently purchased vw atlas sel premium... Honda needs to fire everyone!!!
Like like pilot ❤️
I hate the horizontal tach but I get it; most buyers of the Pilot could care less how fast the engine is spinning. Also, what's with the unnecessarily huge physical (as in: not digital) fuel and temp gauges? Why not have the entire instrument panel a configurable digital display?
That one crawling thing on the floor next to tire on 3:10
You're most welcome, Sir!
I like the previous wheel design better
Moving lights on corners remind me of Flux Capacitor from MJF car.
Amber rear turn signals, finally
Course they didn't have memory seats or Sensing for the EXL I just got in April :(
Oh well
I like it But, Do they have a trim with stick shifter? I don’t like pushing bottoms to drive my car, makes me feel like a 98 years old lady, or dumb person. A mom or ladies want to keep feeling cool driving a family car. Also I would have like to see the air vents on top, when I put my baby’s car seat in the middle of bench kind of block the AC.
Those front seat armrests drive me crazy, so much like a minivan! Why not just have a huge center armrest/console?
That drivers side arm rest prevented us from getting the pilot and we got the mdx instead. Not only is it uncomfortable for long rides but it is flimsy and very mini vanish.
Does the touring have 2nd row heated seats with 2nd row bench seat?
I checked on this and it does have heated rear seats even if you choose the bench seating on Touring. Thanks for watching!
Convinced that the Honda Pilot is the best SUV out there? compare to the Ford Explorer it has eye opening advantages over the pilot that's why it's been the best selling mid-size 3 row SUV in the country for 28 years

Can you make a review of nissan pathfinder 2019 to see if they gonna make some changes.
Nissan hasn't announced when the 2019 Pathfinder will make it to dealers, but we will definitely be reviewing it when it does!
2018 exterior , 2019 interior features
Looks like a minivan without the sliding doors.
can you ex model”s review？
Yikes at the huge fuel and temp gauges. I'm ok with the digital speedo but hate the horizontal tach. This design is a mess.
good mobil honda pilot👍👍👍
Is navigation standard on Ex and up?
Integrated navigation is optional on the EX-L and standard on Touring and Elite. Thanks for watching!
@@CarConfections How about heated steering wheel is it optional on exl ?
I'm too technology inclined for this vehicle. I miss the 09-15 models with all of my clogged heart

Beat me to it!!
Jay Mac somehow commented before the video even finished uploading haha
Do the 2019 Honda HR-V review as well as comparing with Rogue Sport
Yes we should be getting an HR-V soon!
For some reason I read that as “Range Rover Sport” in my brain and thought... “damn, this guy is cross shopping those two models? Weird...”
Riyad Kalla lol 😂 did you know it’s Nissan?
ugggg so mad just got a 2018 exl and now the 2019 exl has so much more integrated into it 😡
They did a terrible refresh... I mean the pilot never looked good, but this is bad! Honda just slaps on the same front to all their vehicles. I think their designers need a refresh and some new designer blood is needed. Good review as always though!!!!!! ☺
Dustin Morris still not as awful as the new sante fe
Andrew White you're 1000% right on that one!!!!!!! If they don't do an emergency refresh of the Sante Fe I'll be shocked.
Dustin Morris thats similar to what I just post. They did reqlly bad with this model and the refresh. Sad thing is people will buy because its newer
As the owner of a 2017 Touring I kind of like the refresh, including all the interior enhancements. I think the only thing I do not like about the exterior is the newly added chrome strips on the side. Of course this is is just my opinion and it is my wife's car and not mine.
I don't know about terrible but they should have done better! So many attractive designs everywhere and with simple computer design programs, why can't they simply come up with one by superimposing several nice looking ones from the competition or even classic ones from decades ago, fine tune them for aerodynamics and boom! They already offer excellent engines! Step up the aesthetics department and hire some Italian designers already!
Sure, CC...you can borrow our Pilot for your review..just fill up the tank when yer done, k??
Please do the ex
Almost everything is LED, even backup lights. Why not turn signals? Why Honda?!😡
Asid Mohammad u can change it
A 20 dollar upgrade at any auto part store will make you happy
Why?! Beacuse designers do not finalize decision what looks of the car will be, but economist who target the price of the model and put limit on it.
front camera?
Why are the reviews you do with cars that have led daytime running lights always blinking
It's an effect caused by the cameras frame rate syncing up with the cars lights frame rate. Unfortunately I don't know of anything we could do about it!
Car Confections ok alr thinks for telling me then
Is That the New Volume Knob ??
no epoxy on the top of the steering wheel? This is a must in Arizona the leather goes to hell in a year!
