2026 Honda Pilot

The 2026 Honda Pilot lineup includes six thoughtfully designed trims: Sport, EX-L, Touring, TrailSport, Elite, and Black Edition, each tailored to different preferences and priorities. The Pilot Sport serves as the entry trim with a strong, athletic exterior, bold grille, and standard features like a power tailgate and roof rails that enhance utility. Moving up, the EX-L adds more convenience and comfort enhancements with refined styling touches. The Touring trim builds on this with added technology and premium appointments. For drivers with adventure in mind, the TrailSport trim brings rugged exterior accents, skid plates, all-terrain tires, and an available TrailWatch™ camera system that help tackle tougher terrain. The Elite trim enhances style and comfort with refined wheels and interior upgrades, and the Black Edition tops the lineup with exclusive gloss black exterior accents and premium finishes. Across all trims, the Pilot’s sculpted body lines, commanding front grille, and confident stance make a bold impression on roads throughout Germantown and Montgomery County.

Under the hood, the 2026 Honda Pilot is powered by a robust 3.5-liter V-6 engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, delivering smooth acceleration and dependable performance. The Pilot offers up to 7 available drive modes — including Normal, ECON, Sport, Snow, Tow, Trail, and Sand, allowing drivers to tailor the driving experience to current road and weather conditions. Available Intelligent Variable Torque Management® (i-VTM4®) all-wheel drive enhances stability and traction, especially on challenging surfaces, while the TrailSport trim adds underbody skid plates and increased ground clearance for enhanced off-road capability.

Thoughtful details and premium materials throughout the cabin create a welcoming environment for everyone on board.
