MSRP: $242,195^[a]
Horsepower: 285
Torque: 262 lb-ft
Cargo Space: 113.7 cu.ft.

The 2026 Honda Pilot is a gentle giant; surprisingly capable while remaining a true family vehicle. Under its hood, you'll find a standard 3.5L V6 engine that's going to produce 285 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque. 

Want to tow a boat out to the lake or a camper out to the woods? The Pilot can tow up to 5,000 lbs, so that you can take your toys with you for even more fun. Its 10-speed automatic transmission also makes it easy to make small, intentional gear changes when towing, accelerating, going uphill, and more, optimizing power and efficiency when it matters.

One of the Pilot's standout performance features, however, is the Intelligent Variable Torque Management. This system will ensure you have the traction you need when the roads get slippery. It's a smart AWD system that continually monitors driving behaviors and road conditions, sending power to the wheels that need it most with incredible precision. Whether you're exploring muddy trails, sandy deserts, or simply wet pavement, the Pilot's AWD can handle it.

Live somewhere with a lot of hills? Hill Descent Control helps you go down them with more confidence. This feature manages downhill speed, specifically on steep grades. That's only the beginning of the safety-enhancing features, though.

Honda Sensing is a standard suite of driver assist features that gives you confidence wherever you drive. Its Collision Mitigation Braking System will alert you to potential front-on collisions, even taking over braking when necessary to avoid or minimize an accident. The Road Departure Mitigation System notifies you if you're veering off the road and provides steering inputs to help you get back on it.

Adaptive Cruise Control will maintain your desired speed without you having to make constant adjustments to the gas or brake. The Lane Keeping Assist System monitors lane markers, alerting you when you're drifting and keeping you centered. The Traffic Sign Recognition System can also detect posted road signs via a front-facing camera, and will project their icons onto your driver information center or head-up display. Wherever you're headed, go with more peace of mind in the 2026 Honda Pilot.

The 2026 Honda Pilot was made for long drives. Its interior is comfortable and configurable, and ready for your fussiest crew.

With seating for up to eight, the Pilot is ready for a big family or friend group. You can put the seats down in a variety of ways to accommodate cargo, too. In fact, there's a stowable second-row center seat that quickly creates space for a cooler, pet crate, or other large item. Alternatively, it simply creates a nice aisle leading to the third row. Want to put the entire second row down in a hurry? The one-touch second-row seats are great for that. At the push of a button, you'll send that second row down, creating tons of extra cargo room. 

Speaking of cargo space, the Pilot has up to 113.7 cu.ft. Plus, its trunk is highly adjustable. It even has a hidden compartment, perfect for storing valuables you want out of sight, or simply stashing a few extra items when the main cargo area is already packed.

When it's time to access your trunk, you can do so easily, even with full arms, thanks to the available hands-free access tailgate. The way it works is simple: just kick your foot beneath the bumper while holding your key fob. The tailgate will open for you, so you don't need to put your things down to manually open it. Whether you're off for a weekend road trip, chauffeuring your kid's soccer team, or heading home after a big day of antiquing, the 2026 Pilot is ready for the people and things that power your life.

Now let's look at the 2026 Pilot's technology. There's a lot to get excited about here.

We'll start with the available Bose sound system, boasting 12 speakers and a subwoofer. For serious sound aficionados, we think you'll enjoy listening to your music, podcasts, and audiobooks with this system. It will flood every inch of your cabin with crystal-clear sound.

Staying connected on the road is always a breeze with Google built-in. You'll access your favorite Google apps, all from your center screen. You can enjoy Google Maps and all of its popular features, like real-time traffic updates, alternative route suggestions, and pitstop information. 

Google Play puts your favorite playlists and more at your fingertips, so you can pick up on that riveting audiobook where you left off on your phone. Google Assistant is there to provide you with the information you need on the go. From weather updates to blockbuster movie reports and more, Google Assistant tells you what you need to know to plan your day.

Need to keep in touch or look things up from the road? The Wi-Fi hotspot can help with that. It lets you and your passengers connect your Wi-Fi-capable devices for scrolling, streaming, and more, all from the Pilot cabin. Kids can keep up with online homework assignments or enjoy movies and games on long trips. Adults can send off last-minute emails and reports.

At the center of it all is the 12.3-inch color touchscreen. With crisp graphics and a large display, it's easy to see your navigation and other data at a glance. Wireless smartphone compatibility lets you sync your smartphone with the touchscreen and control your apps from there. With the wireless smartphone charger, you never need to worry about a dead device when you're far from a wall outlet. In fact, with wireless smartphone connectivity and charging, you can have a cord-free cabin.

You can do things like change the music or temperature without taking your hands off the wheel with the intuitive voice commands. These continue to recognize natural speech patterns better every year. Finally, the available head-up display puts important vehicle and journey information right in your line of vision. The 2026 Honda Pilot is nothing if not modern and refined. From PTA meetings to board meetings, its technology helps you handle it all.
