Trims
The 2025 Honda Pilot offers a solid lineup of trim levels to suit diverse preferences and needs, so there is a perfect option for every driver. With the latest model, Honda has revamped its trim lineup to provide even more value and customization.
The Sport and EX-L
Starting off the lineup is the Sport trim level, which sets the standard for the Pilot's capabilities and features. Even at the base level, the Sport doesn't compromise on performance or comfort. It comes equipped with a robust 3.5L V6 engine, advanced safety features, and a well-appointed interior. LED headlights, smartphone app integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel are all standard issues on this trim level.
Stepping up to the EX-L trim brings additional convenience and technology features. This trim level offers an upgraded nine-speaker sound system, a wireless device charger, and another USB outlet located in the third row. CabinTalk, Honda's in-cabin intercom system, is also a standard feature on this trim. Plus, you can enjoy an even quieter ride with the vehicle's acoustic-glass windshield. Heated power side mirrors and a power liftgate make operating the Honda Pilot even more efficient and enjoyable.
The TrailSport and Touring Trims
The TrailSport trim takes off-roading to the next level and mixes it with premium amenities and comfort-focused features. Synthetic leather-trimmed seats with orange contrast stitching, a heated steering wheel, and a panoramic moonroof are just a few highlights of this trim. Off-roading is improved thanks to the off-road Vehicle Stability Assist system. There is also a Class III trailer hitch and off-road recovery hooks to assist when needed.
For those seeking the ultimate in sophistication and technology, the Touring trim delivers. AWD is standard on this trim level, and it rides on 20-inch wheels. With features like a hands-free power tailgate with automatic closing, keyless entry on all doors, and an integrated navigation system, every ride feels like a first-class experience. Additionally, the Touring trim comes with a second-row bench seat that has a removable and stowable middle seat for more seating configuration options.
The Elite and Black Edition Trims
Next up is the Elite trim level, representing the height of luxury and performance for this segment. It comes standard with all the features of the lower trims plus exclusive upgrades such as a heated windshield, heated second-row outboard seats, ventilated front seats, and windshield wipers that automatically sense rain. A head-up display projects crucial data onto the windshield right in your line of sight. You can also view plenty of vehicle information on the upgraded 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster.
New for 2025, the Black Edition trim adds a sporty and sophisticated touch to the Pilot lineup. Featuring exclusive blacked-out exterior accents, black leather seats with red stitching, and unique 20-inch black alloy wheels, this trim exudes style and attitude. It is the perfect choice for drivers who want to stand out from the crowd.
Performance
The 2025 Honda Pilot impresses with its performance capabilities, making it a versatile and capable SUV for all types of driving conditions. Whether you are taking to the bustling city streets or tackling off-road adventures, the Pilot delivers a smooth and responsive ride for everyone to enjoy.
The Standard 3.5L V6 Engine
Powering the 2025 Pilot is a refined 3.5L V6 engine that delivers 285 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque.

Premium materials and thoughtful design details create a refined and inviting atmosphere, while ample legroom and headroom ensure everyone stays comfortable on long journeys. The Pilot's versatile interior can be easily configured to accommodate both passengers and cargo.
