Honda’s vehicles have the most spacious cabins in their respective classes. It is sufficiently roomy for the three rows. Second-row passengers now have access to 40.8 inches of legroom.
The third row is also more spacious and comfortable, with a total passenger capacity of eight. The second row's middle seat is removable in the Touring and Elite trims, a nice touch that facilitates access to the third row.
Regarding storage, the new Pilot is a vast improvement. The space behind the third row is 22.4 feet, expanding to 113.7 feet behind the front seats.
The Elite model has high-end features and components, such as perforated leather upholstery and advanced electronics.
Honda has been active recently, releasing new generations of the HR-V, Civic, CR-V, and Accord. The new Honda Pilot is following suit. Each has a unique appearance and is thoroughly up-to-date.
The Pilot's upright grille, massive clamshell hood, and fender flares make this clear. The TrailSport is also available in a unique shade of blue called "Diffused Sky Blue Pearl."
The new Pilot is 3.4 inches longer than the previous model, added to the vehicle's wheelbase. The result is a roomier interior and a smoother ride.
