How much does the 2016 Honda Pilot cost?

Prices have softened 5.82% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,075 listings available, which suggests you should have a workable range of choices.

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 alternative. In practical terms, that makes it a strong fit if you want three-row utility without giving up a more carlike feel.

The market also looks reasonably supportive, with 33.0% of listings marked as good or great deals.

Is the 2016 Honda Pilot reliable?

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

User feedback highlights a dependable, family-friendly ownership experience, with praise for comfort, spaciousness, and good gas mileage. The expert notes also point to Honda’s solid reliability and resale, which reinforces the Pilot’s reputation as a vehicle you can count on over time.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about the model’s core durability and more about finding one that has been maintained well and hasn’t accumulated avoidable wear.

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

At 60.3% 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 careful pre-purchase inspection, especially if the listing price looks unusually attractive. Focus on body condition, signs of prior repair, and whether the vehicle’s equipment and safety systems work as expected. Because this is a family-oriented SUV, it also makes sense to pay close attention to interior wear, electronics, and any evidence of heavy use.

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 with features like 20-inch wheels, LED running lamps, and a more premium interior. The base trim is the most stripped-down choice, so you should compare equipment carefully if you want more convenience and refinement.
• Powertrain: A single 3.5-liter V6 makes 280 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque, with cylinder deactivation helping efficiency under light loads. The LX and EX use a 6-speed automatic, while Touring and Elite use a 9-speed automatic with auto start/stop.
• Safety package: Honda Sensing includes forward-collision alert, lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control, auto braking, 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.
• Infotainment: Loaded versions include high-amp USB ports, a 115-volt household outlet, an HDMI input for rear entertainment, and a Garmin-based navigation system. The Pilot also offers Bluetooth audio, Pandora, and other connected features on upper trims.
• Fuel efficiency: FWD models are rated at 19 mpg city/27 highway on LX and EX trims and 20 mpg city/27 highway on Touring and Elite trims. AWD models are rated at 18 mpg city/26 highway on LX and EX trims and 19 mpg city/26 highway on Touring and Elite trims.

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 entry point, so it makes sense if you want the Pilot’s core space and V6 power at the lowest price, but you give up a lot of the convenience and safety content found higher up the range.
• EX: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds more of the useful equipment buyers actually want, including access to Honda Sensing, while staying below the more expensive luxury-oriented trims.
• EX-L: Choose this if you want a more upscale family SUV feel, especially if leather and a richer feature set matter more to you than keeping the price down.
• Touring: This is the right pick if you want the more premium experience, including the 9-speed automatic, acoustic glass, and the fuller tech and comfort content.
• Elite: This is the top choice if you want the most complete Pilot, including blind-spot monitoring and the fullest safety and convenience package.

Honda Sensing is available on EX trims and standard on Touring and Elite trims, 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: 33.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,075 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.82% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 60.3% 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 $14,903 sits slightly below last year's $15,823.

That price movement suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy more confidently now. For a future seller, it also means you should expect resale value to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and equipment rather than assuming the market will lift prices on its own.

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 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 adds another 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:

• 33.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 60.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.82% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.82/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It pairs SUV styling with a minivan chassis for family-friendly driving and strong safety.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $11,685, the 2015 costs less than the current year's $14,903 average.
• It is a spacious, practical family SUV with a roomy 3-row cabin.

Consider the 2017 if:

• At $17,159, the 2017 costs more than the current year's $14,903 average.
• It is aimed squarely at busy families who need a practical, passenger-friendly crossover.

The bottom line: If you want the strongest mix of safety, family usefulness, and current pricing, the 2016 is the best starting point. If your budget is tighter, the 2015 can save you money, but you give up some of the newer-model appeal and safety progress. If you’re willing to spend more, the 2017 may be worth a look, but the 2016 remains the more balanced buy for most shoppers.
