What's New in the 2019 Honda Pilot?

Even after a comprehensive redesign in 2016, Honda hasn't stopped looking for ways to improve the Pilot. For the 2019 model, Honda now offers a nine-speed automatic transmission, plus a variety of new features. A refreshed interior now houses an upgraded and intuitive infotainment system within handsome new styling.

Up to eight passengers will find no shortage of elbow room and legroom within the 2019 Pilot's spacious cabin. Parents with young children may also make use of the Pilot's four complete sets of LATCH car seat connectors. Whether you're bringing home a week's worth of groceries or packing luggage for a long vacation, you'll find all the cargo space you need. Behind the back seats, the Pilot holds 16 cubic feet of storage. That area expands to 84 cubic feet when you fold the rear and middle seats.

The interior's available infotainment features include Apple CarPlay, a Wi-Fi hot spot, Android Auto, satellite radio, an HDMI port, wireless device charging, and more. Available safety features include lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, road departure mitigation, and collision mitigation braking. The Pilot also aced its crash and safety tests.

Honda equipped the Pilot with a 280-horsepower V6 engine, and the maker offers either a six-speed or nine-speed automatic transmission to handle shifting for you. With either pairing, you'll enjoy a smooth and quiet ride with compliant steering and responsive brakes. The Pilot can also tow as much as 5,000 pounds when equipped for the job. For all its capability, the SUV still maintains respectable fuel efficiency.

History of the Honda Pilot

Honda introduced the Pilot into the U.S. market in 2003, just around the time that crossover SUVs were becoming a radically popular segment. American drivers quickly warmed up to Honda's new offering, as the open and roomy cabin was just what they were demanding. The first Pilot models featured four-wheel drive, and were built on the same platform as the Odyssey and Accord.

Honda updated the Pilot's exterior in 2006, loaded it with more safety tech, and also released a two-wheel-drive version that same year. By 2009, Honda reimagined the Pilot for its next generation, giving it a bigger frame and a bundle of new safety and infotainment features. The manufacturer continued to update their lineup year after year, and unveiled the Pilot's third generation in 2016. The latest models sport an eye-catching crossover design and a dynamic assortment of tools for driver assistance and onboard amusement.
