How much does the 2017 Honda Pilot cost?

Prices have softened 6.60% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

With 2,340 listings available, you have a solid amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

If you find a listing below $16,870.77, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2017 Honda Pilot a good car?

Yes — the 2017 Honda Pilot earns a 4.77/5 user rating, and our experts give it 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, and tech features, and they also like the strong AWD capability and comfortable ride. That lines up with the Pilot’s role as a practical three-row SUV for people who need to shuttle passengers, carry gear, and handle daily family duties.

With 31.7% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have room to shop selectively without feeling rushed.

Is the 2017 Honda Pilot reliable?

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

Owner feedback repeatedly points to the Pilot as reliable and dependable, with comments that suggest it’s a vehicle people feel they can count on over time. Honda’s reputation for dependability also supports that impression, and the expert review notes that the Pilot’s fuel economy lands where expected, which helps make ownership more predictable.

The transmission can feel hesitant or harsh at first in upper trims, so a used example should be checked carefully for smooth shifting and overall maintenance history. For long-term ownership, that makes condition and service records especially important.

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 thorough pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-mileage example or one with prior damage. Focus on signs of uneven wear, repair quality, and how the drivetrain behaves on a test drive. Because this is a family SUV, you’ll also want to make sure the cabin features and safety equipment work as expected.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The LX is the most stripped-down version, and it lacks the HondaLink infotainment system and the Honda Sensing package. Higher trims add more convenience and equipment, while the Elite stands out for standard AWD and the most complete feature set.
• Powertrain: Every model uses a 280-horsepower, 3.5-liter V6. Lower trims use a 6-speed automatic, while Touring and Elite models get a 9-speed automatic with Sport mode and paddle shifters.
• Safety package: Honda Sensing is the named driver-assistance suite. It includes 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. Lane Watch is used instead on lower trims.
• Infotainment: The system uses an 8-inch display and includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, HondaLink services, HondaLink Assist, SiriusXM, Pandora, text-messaging support, USB ports, and a multi-view reversing camera.
• Fuel efficiency: The review cites 22 mpg in combined driving for an AWD model with the 9-speed automatic, and the expert 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’s the most bare-bones choice because it misses HondaLink and the Honda Sensing suite. It makes sense only if you want the lowest starting price and can live without the nicer tech and safety content.
• EX: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds Honda Sensing for a relatively modest step up from the LX. If you want the core Pilot experience with important driver-assistance tech, this is the trim to target.
• EX-L: This is the trim to consider if you want a more family-friendly cabin, since it adds leather and can be paired with the rear-seat entertainment system. It’s a good middle ground if comfort matters more than luxury extras.
• Touring: This trim adds the 9-speed automatic, big 20-inch wheels, rear-seat entertainment, a premium sound system, and more convenience features. It suits you if you want a more fully equipped Pilot without going all the way to the top.
• Elite: This is the most complete version, with standard AWD, heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row captain’s chairs, and the most available equipment. It’s the right pick if you want the fullest feature set and don’t mind paying for it.

Honda Sensing is standard on every trim except the LX, and blind-spot warning and 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 options.

• Deal availability: 31.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,340 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.60% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 61.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $16,870.77, 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 $17,200 sits slightly below last year's $18,416.

That softer pricing suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable point in the cycle. For a future seller, that also means your upside may depend more on condition, mileage, and trim than on broad market appreciation. Well-kept examples should still hold appeal because the Pilot remains a practical family SUV with strong demand.

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?

Every Pilot earns a five-star crash-test rating from the federal government, and all of them get 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’s offered on every trim except the base LX. Even so, blind-spot warning and rear cross-traffic alert are not available unless you upgrade to the Elite, and lower trims rely on Lane Watch instead. The expert review also notes that Honda Sensing can struggle in some real-world traffic and road conditions, so you should test those systems carefully on a used example.

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:

• 31.7% 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.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.60% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.77/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The expert review says it’s a strong family hauler, but one that doesn’t always make life easier than alternatives.

Consider the 2016 if:

• At $14,983, the 2016 costs less than the current year's $17,200 average.
• It blends truck-like styling with car-like driving in a practical family-hauler package.

The bottom line: If you want the better-documented market value and a broad selection of listings, the 2017 is the safer default choice. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2016 is the better price-first alternative, especially if you find one in strong condition.
