Honda Pilot
High Performance & Sporty Style
Interior
The Pilot has three rows of seating and can easily fit up to eight people. Everyone will have plenty of room to stretch out, as shown in the following interior dimensions…
| Row | Headroom | Legroom |
|---|---|---|
| First Row | 40.1 in | 40.9 in |
| Second Row | 40.2 in | 38.4 in |
| Third Row | 38.9 in | 31.9 in |
Not only is the SUV quite spacious with 152.9 cubic feet of passenger volume, but it has many amenities to help keep everyone happy. For instance, you can get heated and ventilated front seats along with heated second-row seats when you opt for the captain’s chairs. This configuration would bring seating capacity down to seven, but those passengers will get their own cupholders along with a little extra elbow room.

Towing Capacity
The Honda Pilot can tow 3,500 pounds in the 2-wheel drive version. This is enough for a couple watercrafts for the beach or snowmobiles for the mountains.
However, the Pilot is also capable of towing a hefty 5,000 pounds, when properly equipped. You may want to take a fishing trip, in which case, you can hitch a small recreational boat to the back of this SUV. Or, you can bring along a small hard-side RV to your next camping trip in the woods.
With Power-Assisted Ventilated Front Disc/Solid Rear Disc Brakes and features like Hill Start Assist, the Pilot can handle whatever you want to tow behind it.

Specs
The Pilot comes with a 3.5L i-VTEC® V6 engine that delivers 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. It offers a smooth performance and has great fuel economy, too. When equipped with a 9-speed automatic transmission, the Pilot can achieve an EPA-estimated 19 city MPG and 27 highway MPG.*
The SUV comes standard in front-wheel drive, but it has an available Intelligent Variable Torque Management™ AWD system. This system will distribute the optimum amount of torque to the front and rear axles as needed while you’re on the go. This will help you stay in control on less-than-ideal roads and improve your steering overall.

Cargo Space
There’s also plenty of room to fit all your family’s belongings inside the Pilot. Behind the third row, there’s 18.5 cubic feet of cargo space. Fold that row down, and you get 55.9 cubic feet. When the second and third rows are folded down, you have up to 109 cubic feet to take advantage of.
With the different seating configurations, you can fit items as long as a ladder or as big as a bicycle while still leaving room for people in the back.
Plus, loading items into the SUV is easy thanks to the available Hands-Free Access Power Tailgate. If your hands are full, swipe your foot under the rear bumper. The liftgate will then automatically open, and you can quickly load up the Pilot and be on your way!
