How much does the 2016 Honda Pilot cost?

Prices have softened 5.19% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,116 listings available, which suggests you have a healthy amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2016 Honda Pilot a good car?

Yes — the 4.82/5 user rating and 7.33/10 expert rating both point to a strong overall ownership and test-drive impression. The standout strength is Safety at 9/10.

User feedback repeatedly highlights the spacious interior, family-friendly features, comfort, and good gas mileage. That lines up well with the Pilot’s role as a family-focused SUV with the easier driving feel of a minivan-based design. The market also shows 32.6% good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2016 Honda Pilot reliable?

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

User feedback points to a vehicle people feel good about living with over time, especially because of its spaciousness, comfort, and family-friendly usefulness. The expert evaluation also describes Honda’s solid reliability and resale as part of the Pilot’s appeal, reinforcing the idea that this is a model you can count on for regular family duty. Honda’s simple order sheet and limited standalone options also suggest a straightforward ownership experience.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is making sure the specific vehicle has been maintained well, since condition and history matter more than the model’s broad reputation.

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

At 59.3% 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 considering a higher-mileage example or one with visible wear. Focus on body condition, interior condition, and signs that the vehicle’s family-hauler life may have left behind cosmetic or mechanical wear. If a listing has a clean history and strong maintenance records, that’s a meaningful advantage in this market.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: Honda offers five trims with either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, and the lower trims are where you’ll notice the biggest feature gaps. The base setup is simpler, while higher trims add more comfort and convenience equipment, including more premium touches and quieter cruising on the upper end.
• Powertrain: A single 3.5-liter V6 powers the lineup, making 280 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque. The LX and EX use a 6-speed automatic, while Touring and Elite models get a 9-speed automatic with auto start/stop. Fuel economy ranges from 19/27 mpg in FWD LX and EX models to 20/27 mpg in FWD Touring and Elite models, with AWD versions returning 18/26 mpg or 19/26 mpg depending on trim.
• 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 trims, while blind-spot monitoring is limited to the Elite.
• Infotainment: Upper trims can include up to 5 USB ports, a 115-volt household outlet, HDMI input for the rear BluRay unit, Garmin-based navigation, and a 10-speaker, 540-watt sound system. Honda LaneWatch and lane-keeping assist also add useful tech, and upper-level models include Bluetooth audio and Pandora.
• Fuel efficiency: The Pilot returns 19/27 mpg in FWD LX and EX trims, 20/27 mpg in FWD Touring and Elite trims, 18/26 mpg in AWD LX and EX trims, and 19/26 mpg in AWD 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 simplest way into the Pilot, and it makes sense if you want the core three-row family utility without paying for extras you may not need. It uses the 6-speed automatic and gives you the basic Pilot experience at the lowest entry point.
• EX: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds access to Honda Sensing, which brings major safety and driver-assistance upgrades. If you want the smartest balance of price and equipment, this is the trim to focus on.
• EX-L: This trim is the one to choose if you want a more upscale family hauler, especially since the “L” stands for leather. It builds on the EX formula with a more premium feel while staying below the top-end Touring and Elite models.
• Touring: This is the right pick if you want more refinement and convenience, including the 9-speed automatic, auto start/stop, acoustic lamination, and more loaded tech. It suits buyers who plan to spend lots of time on the road and want a quieter, more feature-rich Pilot.
• Elite: This is the top choice if you want the most complete Pilot experience, including blind-spot monitoring and the fullest safety and convenience content. It’s 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 trims, while blind-spot monitoring is exclusive to the Elite.

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

The market looks selective rather than overheated, which is good news if you’re willing to compare listings carefully.

• Deal availability: 32.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,116 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.19% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 59.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $14,762, 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 $14,873 sits slightly below last year's $15,687.

That decline suggests the market has become a bit more buyer-friendly, which can matter if you’re planning to sell later. A softer current price can also mean you may not recover as much as a seller as you would have a year ago, especially if your vehicle has average mileage or visible wear. On the other hand, the Pilot’s family-friendly reputation and broad appeal help support demand over time.

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 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 can switch among three views for added 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:

• 32.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 59.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.19% 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 a much more modern safety package.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $11,629, the 2015 costs less than the current year's $14,873 average.
• It’s a spacious, practical family SUV with a roomy 3-row cabin.

Consider the 2017 if:

• At $17,120, the 2017 costs more than the current year's $14,873 average.
• It’s aimed squarely at family duty, with strong practicality and available all-wheel drive.

The bottom line: If you want the best mix of price, safety, and modern family-hauler appeal, the 2016 is the smart default. If your budget is tighter, the 2015 can save you money, but you give up the newer redesign. If you’re willing to spend more, the 2017 is worth comparing, but the 2016 already lands in a strong sweet spot for value.
