How much does the 2015 Honda Pilot cost?

Prices have softened 3.58% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,508 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for shoppers comparing prices and conditions.

Is the 2015 Honda Pilot a good car?

Yes — the 2015 Honda Pilot earns a 4.8/5 user rating, and our experts give it 6/10 overall. The model scores 8/10 across Performance and Cost effectiveness.

Owners consistently praise the spacious interior, smooth ride, and family-friendly practicality. The Pilot’s roomy cabin and useful three-row layout make it a strong fit for family shuttling duty, especially if you value space over the newest tech. At the same time, the feedback also points to fuel economy and engine power as recurring concerns.

With 32.7% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market still offers some attractive opportunities if you’re willing to shop carefully.

Is the 2015 Honda Pilot reliable?

Owners rate it 4.8/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owner feedback points to a vehicle that many drivers find dependable, with praise centered on its roomy cabin, smooth ride, and family usefulness. Expert commentary also describes the Pilot as a solid, stout SUV that can handle demanding driving without complaint, which supports the case for durability over time. Honda’s added roadside assistance for the first 3 years or 36,000 miles also helps ownership confidence.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that age-related wear may show up in a vehicle that already trails newer rivals in technology and efficiency.

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

At 55.4% 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 thorough pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-mileage example. Focus on overall condition, signs of prior bodywork, and whether the vehicle has been maintained consistently. Because this model is older and not especially strong on newer safety or infotainment features, condition matters even more than trim cosmetics.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Touring trim adds features such as Bluetooth, satellite radio, a hard-drive music-storage system, and rear-seat DVD entertainment, while the EX, SE, and EX-L are noted for more appealing wheels. The base-level feature set is comparatively sparse, so you should weigh whether the extra convenience equipment in higher trims is worth it.
• Powertrain: The Pilot uses a 3.5-liter V6 with 250 hp and 253 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission. Honda’s Variable Cylinder Management helps reduce fuel use on the highway, and available 4-wheel drive adds traction when conditions get slippery.
• Safety package: The Pilot lacks several newer driver-assistance features, including blind-spot monitoring, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and rear cross-traffic alert. That gap is a major reason to compare it carefully with newer alternatives.
• Infotainment: Touring models include a Bluetooth connection, satellite radio, hard-drive music storage, rear-seat DVD entertainment, a 115-volt power outlet, and video input jacks. Smartphone connectivity, connected services, and newer convenience tech are not part of this model year’s strengths.
• Fuel efficiency: The Pilot’s mixed-driving fuel economy came in at 18.3 mpg, below the EPA’s 20-mpg combined rating.

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 trim to consider if you want the Pilot’s core family-hauling space without paying for extras you may not need. It keeps the focus on practicality and value.
• SE: Choose this if you want a little more equipment than the EX while staying on the affordable side of the lineup. It makes sense if you want a modest step up without chasing luxury features.
• EX-L: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it balances comfort and equipment with the Pilot’s fundamental strengths. It should be your first stop if you want a more complete used-SUV experience.
• Touring: Pick this if you want the most features, including the rear-seat entertainment and other convenience upgrades. It suits you best if you’re prioritizing family comfort and long-trip amenities over price.

The safety content also makes clear that this model year lacks several modern driver-assistance features, so trim choice won’t solve the Pilot’s biggest safety-tech gaps.

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 with some leverage if you’re patient.

• Deal availability: 32.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,508 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.58% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 55.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $11,584, 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 $11,651 sits slightly below last year's $12,083.

That decline suggests the Pilot has already absorbed some of its depreciation, which can help future sellers if they buy at the right price. Because the market is still active and the model has broad family appeal, a well-kept example should remain reasonably easy to move later. The biggest factor for resale will be condition, since buyers in this segment tend to reward clean history and strong maintenance records.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.8/5, 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 and four-star ratings overall from NHTSA.

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

The Pilot’s safety equipment is dated by modern standards, and it lacks several driver-assistance features that many shoppers now expect. The available safety content also highlights the absence of blind-spot monitoring, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and rear cross-traffic alert. That combination makes the Pilot a weaker choice if safety tech is a top priority.

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:

• 32.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 55.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.58% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.8/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It remains a spacious, practical three-row family SUV with strong everyday usefulness.

Consider the 2014 if:

• At $10,752, the 2014 costs less than the current year's $11,651 average.
• It emphasizes space and utility for buyers who need maximum practicality.

Consider the 2016 if:

• At $14,511, the 2016 costs more than the current year's $11,651 average.
• It brings a redesigned package with more modern safety and infotainment features.

The bottom line: If you want the best mix of price and family usefulness, the 2015 is the sensible pick. If you’re especially price-sensitive, the 2014 can save you money; if you want newer tech and a more modern design, the 2016 is the better path.
