Reviews SummaryThe popular Honda Pilot was refreshed for the 2006 model year with a new look, new tech, and updated safety equipment. Changes for 2007 are more subtle, amounting to some new colors, but the vehicle remains relevant in the face of growing competition. The Pilot lineup is powered by a single engine for the 2007 model year. It’s Honda’s corporate 3.5-liter V6, which makes 244 horsepower and 240 pound-feet of torque. Power is sent to either the front or all four wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission. Honda calls it four-wheel drive, but the Pilot's drivetrain actually uses an all-wheel drive system. The Honda Pilot competes in a crowded class that includes the Acura MDX, Chevrolet Traverse, Dodge Durango, Ford Explorer, Kia Sorento, Toyota Highlander, Hyundai Santa Fe, and Nissan Pathfinder. It’s targeted at new-car buyers that want the utility of a minivan with the rugged appeal of an SUV. | |
Reviews SummaryThe 2006 Jeep Commander fills a missing piece to the off-road brand’s lineup. The big 3-row SUV has imposing styling, available V8 engines, and seating for up to 7 passengers. It slots above other mid-size SUVs like the Ford Explorer but under full-size SUVs like the Expedition. Compared to these vehicles, the Commander has terrific off-road ability but lacks cabin quality, cabin space, and towing capability. | |
