2021 Honda Pilot Loss in Value Case Study (PDF)
The Honda Pilot is a midsize three-row SUV that offers ample space, comfort, and performance. It can seat up to eight passengers, including adults in its roomy third-row seat, and offers plenty of cargo space. The 2021 model year features a fuel-efficient and powerful V6 engine with a nine-speed automatic transmission, exceptional ride and seat comfort, and a host of standard driver assists and popular infotainment features. While facing stiff competition from newer models, the Pilot remains a versatile and inoffensive choice for those seeking a crossover SUV with a rugged feel. Whether you’re running errands or embarking on a long road trip, the Honda Pilot has the capability to meet your needs.
The Honda Pilot has been rated as highly fuel-efficient by the EPA, especially considering its size and practicality. According to the EPA estimates, the front-wheel drive models of the Pilot can achieve up to 20 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway. With all-wheel drive, the ratings are slightly lower, with the Pilot achieving 19 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway.
The Honda Pilot’s touchscreen system is intuitive and user-friendly, while the navigation system and 10-speaker audio system offer excellent responsiveness and sound quality. The Touring and Elite models include a Wi-Fi hotspot, which allows passengers to access the in-car Wi-Fi and control the rear cabin temperature and music playlists via the Honda CabinControl app. However, the Pilot’s adaptive cruise control system falls short compared to some of its competitors, with a lack of smooth acceleration and braking, and a requirement for speeds above 20 mph. The lane-keeping assist feature works effectively on straight roads but can become intrusive on curvy roads.
