How much does the 2016 Honda Pilot cost?

Prices have softened 5.92% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,203 listings available, which suggests you have a healthy amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2016 Honda Pilot a good car?

Yes — the 2016 Honda Pilot earns a 4.8/5 user rating and a 7.3/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Safety at 9/10.

Owners consistently praise its spacious interior, family-friendly layout, and comfort, and the available DVD player is a recurring plus for keeping kids occupied. The overview also points to its practical, family-hauling mission, with a car-like driving character that makes it feel familiar rather than overly rugged. Good gas mileage is another repeated theme, while some owners note stereo issues.

With its roomy cabin and everyday usability, it fits you well if you want a three-row SUV that prioritizes comfort and family convenience over flash. 34.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2016 Honda Pilot reliable?

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

The user feedback points to a dependable, family-friendly SUV that owners feel good about living with over time, especially because of its spaciousness, comfort, and practical features. The expert notes also emphasize Honda’s solid reliability and resale, which reinforces the Pilot’s reputation as something you can count on for long-term ownership.

The driving and ownership picture is generally reassuring, but used buyers should still watch for wear items, feature-function issues, and any signs that previous use has been harder than average.

What should I look for when buying a used 2016 Honda Pilot?

At 57.7% 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 focus your inspection on bodywork, alignment, and signs of prior repair quality. Because this model is often bought as a family hauler, condition matters as much as mileage: check the cabin, electronics, and safety systems carefully. If a listing has been in an accident, make sure the repairs were done cleanly and that nothing feels off in the way it drives.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: Honda offers five trims with either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, and the loaded Touring tester adds 20-inch wheels, LED running lamps, and a more upscale look. The lower trims are simpler, while the upper trims bring more refinement and convenience.
• Powertrain: A single 3.5-liter V6 makes 280 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque, with a 6-speed automatic on LX and EX and a 9-speed on Touring and Elite. Cylinder deactivation helps efficiency, and the upper trims add auto start/stop.
• Safety package: Honda Sensing includes auto braking, forward-collision alert, lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keeping assist. It is available on EX trims and standard on Touring and Elite, while blind-spot monitoring is limited to the Elite.
• Infotainment: Loaded models get high-amp USB ports, a 115-volt outlet, an HDMI input for rear entertainment, Garmin-based navigation, and a 10-speaker, 540-watt sound system. Honda also includes Bluetooth audio and Pandora on upper-level trims.
• Fuel efficiency: The FWD models return 19 mpg city/27 mpg highway on LX and EX, and 20 mpg city/27 mpg highway on Touring and Elite. AWD versions are rated at 18/26 on LX and EX, and 19/26 on Touring and Elite.

Which 2016 Honda Pilot trim should I buy?

The 2016 Honda Pilot is offered in 5 trim levels: LX, EX, EX-L, Touring, Elite.

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the simplest way into the Pilot, and it makes sense if you want the lowest entry point and don’t need the extra convenience features. It gets the 6-speed automatic and the core Pilot formula, but it is the least equipped choice.
• EX: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it unlocks Honda Sensing availability, bringing major safety tech into reach without jumping to the top of the range. If you want the smartest balance of price and equipment, start here.
• EX-L: This trim adds the leather-focused upgrade implied by the name and sits in the middle of the lineup for buyers who want more comfort without going all the way to the luxury-leaning versions.
• Touring: This is the right pick if you want the more premium Pilot experience, including the 9-speed automatic, auto start/stop, acoustic lamination, and the richer tech and comfort content seen in the loaded tester.
• Elite: This is the top choice if you want the most complete Pilot, especially because blind-spot monitoring is standard here and Honda Sensing is included. It is the trim to target if you want the fullest safety and convenience package.

Honda Sensing is available on EX trims and standard on Touring and Elite, while blind-spot monitoring is limited to the Elite.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2016 Honda Pilot?

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 34.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,203 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.92% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 57.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $14,511, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2016 Honda Pilot's resale value?

The current average of $14,511 sits slightly below last year's $15,425.

That softer pricing can help you buy more confidently now, but it also means future sellers may face a more competitive market if prices stay under pressure. If you plan to own the Pilot for several years, the current trend suggests you should focus on condition, mileage, and trim quality so your eventual resale stands out. Well-kept examples should still hold appeal because the model’s family-friendly reputation remains a strong draw.

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 2016 Honda Pilot safe?

The 2016 Honda Pilot earns a Top Safety Pick+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and aced every test with the top Good rating.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Honda Sensing includes auto braking, forward-collision alert, lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keeping assist. That package is available on EX trims and standard on Touring and Elite trims, while blind-spot monitoring is limited to the Elite. A standard backup camera with three views also helps visibility.

Should I buy a 2016 Honda Pilot or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2016 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2016 if:

• 34.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 57.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.92% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.8/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It brings a redesigned body, stronger safety credentials, and a more modern family-hauler feel.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $11,651, the 2015 costs less than the current year's $14,511 average.
• It is a spacious three-row family SUV with an older design.

Consider the 2017 if:

• At $16,498, the 2017 costs more than the current year's $14,511 average.
• It adds more tech features and strong AWD capability.

The bottom line: If you want the best mix of price, safety, and modern family utility, the 2016 is the primary target. If your budget is tighter, the 2015 can save you money, while the 2017 makes sense if you want to spend more for additional tech and refinement.

How does the 2016 Honda Pilot compare to the 2016 Toyota Highlander?

The Pilot gives you more power and a lower average used price, while the Highlander is slightly more efficient in city driving and has a marginally higher accident-free share. If you want stronger value and a roomier-feeling family SUV, the Pilot is the more compelling used buy.
