Honda Pilot

The 2017 Honda Pilot doesn’t skimp on providing drivers with the choices they need. With five different trim levels, it’ll be easy for drivers to find a vehicle that fits their price point and their needs. The models and their corresponding starting prices are as follows.

• LX – $30,595
• EX – $33,030
• EX-L – $36,455
• Touring – $41,670
• Elite – $47,070

Though there are a wide variety of available trim levels, the 2017 Honda Pilot keeps it simple when it comes to powertrain options, providing a single engine option for all five trims. However, there are selections when it comes to transmissions and drivetrains. While some of the trims come standard with a six-speed automatic transmission, others are equipped with a nine-speed automatic transmission with Shift-By-Wire with Paddle Shifters. Transmissions aside, the powerful V6 engine of the Pilot is able to provide drivers with an impressive 280 hp with 262 lb-ft of torque.

When it comes to performance, the 2017 Honda Pilot makes sure to provide drivers with a wide array of available performance enhancing features. Features like the Eco Assist System, Variable Cylinder Management, Active Control Engine Mount System, Active Noise Cancellation, Hill Start Assist, Intelligent Variable Torque Management AWD System, and many others help to ensure that the vehicle’s driver is only getting the best possible performance at any given time.

Comfort and convenience are two large pieces of the puzzle in determining whether or not a vehicle will be successful. Since drivers spend most of their time within the vehicle, it’s important that they are able to be comfortable and have all of the features they could ever need within close range. It’s also important that their passengers remain comfortable and entertained as well. Some of the features that set out to make this a reality include:

• 60/40 split, flat-folding third row bench seat
• 10-way power adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar support
• Eight-inch Display Audio with High-Resolution WVGA
• Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

As it should be with any vehicle, safety is of the utmost importance for the 2017 Honda Pilot. To make absolutely sure that drivers and their passengers feel safe and secure at all times, the Pilot incorporates a number of innovative safety features. Just a handful of these features include:

• Multi-Angle Rearview Camera with Guidelines
• Tire Pressure Monitoring System with Tire Fill Assist and Location and Pressure Indicators
• Collision Mitigation Braking System
• Forward Collision Warning

Such bold styling alone will be able to easily capture the attention of any vehicle lover. When this bold styling is coupled with incredible performance and desirable features it would be hard for vehicle reviewing websites like Motor Trend, Kelley Blue Book, and The Car Connection to pass on saying a couple of positive words about the vehicle. Take a peek at what they had to say below.
