How much does the 2016 Honda Pilot cost?

Prices have softened 6.00% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,061 listings available, which suggests you should have a workable amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2016 Honda Pilot a good car?

Yes — the 2016 Honda Pilot earns a 4.82/5 user rating and a 7.33/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Safety at 9/10.

Drivers consistently praise its spacious interior, family-friendly features, comfort, and good gas mileage. The overview also points to its appeal as a family hauler with SUV presence and easier, more familiar driving manners than a truck-based SUV.

With 31.7% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have a decent chance of finding a competitive price if you shop carefully.

Is the 2016 Honda Pilot reliable?

Owners rate it 4.82/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback highlights a dependable-feeling package centered on spaciousness, comfort, and family-friendly usefulness, while the expert notes also point to Honda’s solid reliability and resale. The Pilot’s minivan-based design and straightforward packaging reinforce the sense that it is built for long-term family duty rather than flash.

The powertrain is described as smooth and strong, and the expert notes say Honda’s solid reliability helps the case for ownership. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about outright durability and more about whether a specific example has been maintained well and avoided costly wear items.

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

At 59.8% 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 the listing price looks unusually attractive. Focus on condition, maintenance records, and signs of prior bodywork or interior wear, since family use can leave a lot of evidence behind. If you’re comparing multiple examples, the cleanest history and best-documented maintenance should carry extra weight.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: Honda offers five trims with either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, and the higher trims add a more upscale look and feel. The loaded Touring example also shows 20-inch wheels, LED running lamps, and a more premium cabin presentation, while lower trims will naturally miss some of those extras.
• Powertrain: A 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. The engine is described as smooth and strong, and cylinder deactivation helps efficiency under light loads.
• 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 a 10-speaker, 540-watt audio system, Garmin-based navigation, high-amp USB ports, a 115-volt outlet, HDMI input, and rear BluRay support. The tech suite also includes Honda LaneWatch and available lane-keeping assist.
• Fuel efficiency: FWD models are rated at 19/27 mpg for LX and EX and 20/27 mpg for Touring and Elite, while AWD versions return 18/26 mpg for LX and EX and 19/26 mpg for 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 keeps the core V6 powertrain and family-hauling space without the higher-trim extras. It makes sense if you want the lowest entry point and can live without the more advanced convenience and safety content.
• EX: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds more of the useful equipment without jumping too far up the price ladder. It also unlocks Honda Sensing availability, which makes it the trim to target if safety tech matters to you.
• EX-L: This trim is the right step up if you want a more upscale cabin and the leather-focused package mentioned in the cost-effectiveness notes. It suits buyers who want a nicer daily driver without going all the way to the luxury-leaning upper trims.
• Touring: This is the trim to choose if you want the richer tech and comfort experience, including the 9-speed automatic, acoustic glass, navigation, and the more loaded feature set. It is the best fit if you want the Pilot to feel closest to an Acura-like family SUV.
• Elite: This is the top choice if you want the most complete Pilot, including blind-spot monitoring and the fullest safety and convenience package. It is the trim for buyers who want the most equipment and are willing to pay for it.

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

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

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you stay disciplined.

• Deal availability: 31.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,061 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.00% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 59.8% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $14,761, 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 $14,935 sits slightly below last year's $15,888.

That softer pricing suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a better entry point today. For a future seller, that also means resale will depend heavily on condition, mileage, and how well the vehicle is documented over time. A clean history and strong maintenance records should matter more than ever if you want to protect value later.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.82/5, 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, the nonprofit group’s best rating, and aced every test with the top Good rating.

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

Honda Sensing is the named driver-assistance suite, and it 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 trims, while blind-spot monitoring is limited to the Elite. A standard backup camera with three views adds another useful layer of 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:

• 31.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 59.8% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.00% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.82/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2016 redesign brings a more streamlined body, stronger V6 output, and top-tier crash-test performance.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $11,603, the 2015 costs less than the current year's $14,935 average.
• It is a spacious family SUV with an older design.

Consider the 2017 if:

• At $17,176, the 2017 costs more than the current year's $14,935 average.
• It is a practical family SUV with strong everyday utility.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, safety, and family-friendly usefulness, the 2016 is the primary year to target. If your budget is tighter, the 2015 can save you money, but you give up the newer redesign advantages. If you’re willing to spend more, the 2017 may be worth a look, but the 2016 remains the smarter value play for most shoppers.
