How much does the 2015 Honda Pilot cost?

Prices have softened 7.36% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,462 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of options to compare.

Is the 2015 Honda Pilot a good car?

Yes — owners rate it 4.83/5, and the expert rating is 6/10. The model scores 8/10 across Performance and Cost effectiveness.

Owners consistently praise the spacious interior, smooth ride, and family-friendly usefulness. The Pilot’s roomy 3-row layout and practical cabin flexibility make it especially appealing if you need daily family duty, and the feedback also points to comfort as a recurring strength.

That said, the same owner feedback also flags fuel economy and engine power as common drawbacks, so it fits you best if space and utility matter more than the latest tech or brisk performance. With 33.2% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market still gives you room to shop selectively.

Is the 2015 Honda Pilot reliable?

Owners rate it 4.83/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owner feedback repeatedly points to the Pilot as a dependable family hauler, with praise for its spacious interior, smooth ride, and overall usefulness over time. The expert evaluation also describes it as a roomy, practical SUV that still makes sense for family duty, and the cost-effectiveness notes mention roadside assistance for the first 3 years or 36,000 miles.

At the same time, the expert assessment says average reliability and dependability are expected, so you should still pay close attention to maintenance records and overall condition when shopping used.

What should I look for when buying a used 2015 Honda Pilot?

At 58.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re comparing multiple examples at similar prices. Focus on body condition, signs of prior repair, and whether the vehicle has been maintained consistently, since the market includes a meaningful number of cars with accident history.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Touring trim gets unique wheels, while the EX, SE, and EX-L are called out as having better-looking wheels. The cabin is described as functional and comfortable, but the older design limits newer convenience and safety tech.
• Powertrain: A 3.5-liter V6 makes 250 hp and 253 lb-ft of torque, and the Pilot uses Variable Cylinder Management to help reduce fuel use on the highway. The 5-speed automatic and available 4-wheel-drive system add everyday usability.
• Safety package: The Pilot lacks features such as adaptive cruise control, collision warning, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, automatic emergency assistance, smartphone connectivity, and rear cross-traffic alert. Those omissions matter if you want newer driver-assistance tech.
• Infotainment: Touring models include Bluetooth, satellite radio, a hard-drive music-storage system, rear-seat DVD entertainment, a 115-volt power outlet, and video input jacks. Newer smartphone pairing and connected services are not available.
• Fuel efficiency: The expert evaluation notes 18.3 mpg in mixed driving, versus an EPA combined rating of 20 mpg.

Which 2015 Honda Pilot trim should I buy?

The 2015 Honda Pilot is offered in 4 trim levels: EX, SE, EX-L, Touring.

Here's the short version:

• EX: This is the entry point, and it makes the most sense if you want the Pilot’s core space and utility without paying for extras you may not need.
• SE: This trim sits above the base setup and is a sensible step up if you want a little more equipment while staying value-focused.
• EX-L: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it balances comfort and equipment without jumping all the way to the top.
• Touring: This is the most feature-rich version, with Bluetooth, satellite radio, hard-drive music storage, rear-seat DVD entertainment, a 115-volt outlet, and video input jacks.

The safety content also makes clear that the Pilot lacks several modern driver-assistance features, so if those matter to you, you may want to shop a newer model instead.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2015 Honda Pilot?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile deals.

• Deal availability: 33.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,462 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.36% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 58.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $11,552, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2015 Honda Pilot's resale value?

The current average of $11,685 sits slightly below last year's $12,613.

That decline suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you as a buyer today but may limit upside if you plan to resell soon. If you buy at a strong price, you reduce the risk of taking a bigger hit later.

The Pilot’s practical family appeal still supports demand, especially for shoppers who want space and utility over newer styling. But because the design is older and the tech is dated, resale strength will depend heavily on condition, mileage, and how well the vehicle has been maintained.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.83/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2015 Honda Pilot safe?

The 2015 Honda Pilot earns a Poor rating in the IIHS small overlap front test, while the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gives it four-star ratings for overall crash protection and Good ratings in the other IIHS tests.

It earns a 3/10 safety score from our experts.

The Pilot also lacks several modern safety features, including adaptive cruise control, collision warning, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, automatic emergency assistance, and rear cross-traffic alert. That makes its safety profile feel dated even aside from the poor small-overlap result.

If safety tech is a priority for you, this is a model year where you should be especially selective and consider newer alternatives.

Should I buy a 2015 Honda Pilot or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2015 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2015 if:

• 33.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 58.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.36% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.83/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The expert summary says it remains a practical family SUV, but its age and dated tech are clear tradeoffs.

Consider the 2014 if:

• At $10,873, the 2014 costs less than the current year's $11,685 average.
• It emphasizes space, utility, and family-friendly practicality.

Consider the 2016 if:

• At $14,903, the 2016 costs more than the current year's $11,685 average.
• It brings a redesigned package with more modern family appeal.

The bottom line: If you want the best mix of price and practicality, the 2015 is the value play. If you’re especially price-sensitive, the 2014 can save you money, while the 2016 makes more sense if you want the newer redesign and are willing to pay more for it.
