How much does the 2017 Honda Pilot cost?

Prices have softened 5.71% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,363 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of options to compare.

Is the 2017 Honda Pilot a good car?

Yes — the 2017 Honda Pilot earns a 4.77/5 user rating and a 7.17/10 expert rating. The model scores 8/10 across Look and feel, Performance, and Form and function.

Owners consistently praise its reliability, spaciousness, comfortable ride, and available AWD capability. That lines up with the overview’s family-hauling focus: you get a three-row SUV that fits daily life with passengers and cargo, even if it does not make life easier as well as some alternatives might. 32.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so you still have room to shop selectively.

Is the 2017 Honda Pilot reliable?

Owners rate it 4.77/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owner feedback repeatedly points to reliability, and the broader ownership picture also emphasizes dependability and expected longevity. The expert evaluation reinforces that theme by noting Honda’s reputation for dependability and describing the Pilot as a good choice in its class. Honda’s cost-effectiveness commentary also suggests that the brand’s reputation for dependability supports confidence in long-term ownership.

For used buyers, the main risk is that a strong reputation does not replace a careful inspection, especially if you want to avoid surprises in a family vehicle that may have seen heavy daily use.

What should I look for when buying a used 2017 Honda Pilot?

At 61% 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 on any listing that looks unusually cheap or unusually well equipped. Focus on signs of prior body damage, uneven wear, and evidence that the vehicle has been used hard as a family hauler. If you can, compare multiple examples so you can separate a clean, well-kept Pilot from one that has simply been priced aggressively.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The LX is the bare-bones starting point, while higher trims add the Honda Sensing package, leather, larger wheels, and more comfort and convenience equipment. The Elite stands out for standard AWD and the fullest equipment load, while the LX is the trim most likely to leave you wanting more.
• Powertrain: Every model uses a 280-horsepower, 3.5-liter V6. The Touring and Elite add a 9-speed automatic, while other trims use a 6-speed automatic; AWD is optional on all trims except the Elite, where it is standard.
• Safety package: Honda Sensing is the named driver-assistance suite, and it is available on every trim except the base LX. It improves the Pilot’s crash-test standing to a Top Safety Pick+, while the base setup leaves you without the full suite.
• Infotainment: The system uses an 8-inch display, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, HondaLink services, HondaLink Assist, SiriusXM, Pandora, text-messaging support, extra USB ports, and a multi-view reversing camera. The LX misses this system entirely.
• Fuel efficiency: The AWD model with the 9-speed automatic is rated at 22 mpg in combined driving, and the test loop returned 21.9 mpg.

Which 2017 Honda Pilot trim should I buy?

The 2017 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, but it is the most stripped-down version and lacks HondaLink and the Honda Sensing package. It makes sense only if you want the lowest starting price and can live without the nicer tech and safety features.
• EX: This is the first trim that unlocks Honda Sensing, making it the best-value choice for many shoppers who want the core safety tech without jumping too far up the price ladder.
• EX-L: This trim adds leather and is also the point where the rear-seat entertainment system becomes available, so it suits you if comfort and family convenience matter more than keeping the budget tight.
• Touring: This trim adds the 9-speed automatic, big 20-inch wheels, rear-seat entertainment, a premium sound system, and a second-row USB port. It is the right pick if you want a more upscale Pilot without going all the way to the top.
• Elite: This is the most fully equipped version, with standard AWD, heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row captain’s chairs, and the fullest feature set. It is the best fit if you want the most content and do not mind paying for it.

Honda Sensing is standard on every trim except the LX, and blind-spot warning plus rear cross-traffic alert are reserved for the Elite.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2017 Honda Pilot?

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

• Deal availability: 32.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,363 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.71% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 61.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $16,873, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2017 Honda Pilot's resale value?

The current average of $17,159 sits slightly below last year's $18,199.

That decline suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you as a buyer today but may temper what you recover later as a seller. If you buy at the right price, you reduce the risk of taking a bigger depreciation hit than necessary. The current range also shows that well-priced examples still have room to move, which matters if you plan to resell within a few years.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.77/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2017 Honda Pilot safe?

The 2017 Honda Pilot earns a 5-star crash-test rating from the federal government and a Top Safety Pick rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety; with Honda Sensing, that rating improves to a Top Safety Pick+.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

Honda Sensing is the named driver-assistance suite, and it is available on every trim except the base LX. The suite includes Honda’s collision-avoidance and driver-assistance technologies, but blind-spot warning and rear cross-traffic alert are not available unless you move up to the Elite. The safety writeup also notes that Honda’s systems can struggle in some real-world road and traffic conditions.

Should I buy a 2017 Honda Pilot or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2017 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2017 if:

• 32.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 61% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Prices have softened 5.71% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.77/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• Expert testing says it is a good choice for family life, even if it has some quirks.

Consider the 2016 if:

• At $14,903, the 2016 costs less than the current year's $17,159 average.
• It blends tall, truck-like proportions with a minivan chassis for family-hauling appeal.

The bottom line: If you want the stronger overall mix of current pricing, owner satisfaction, and feature content, the 2017 is the better default choice. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2016 is the more budget-friendly path and still delivers the Pilot’s core family-friendly appeal.
