How much does the 2017 Honda Pilot cost?

Prices have softened 7.17% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,570 listings available, which suggests you have a healthy amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2017 Honda Pilot a good car?

Yes — the 2017 Honda Pilot earns a 4.8/5 user rating and a 7.2/10 expert rating. The model scores 8/10 across Look and feel, Performance, and Form and function.

Owners consistently praise its reliability, spaciousness, and range of tech features, and many also like the strong AWD capability and comfortable ride. It is especially well suited to you if you need a family-focused three-row SUV for shuttling people, carrying cargo, and handling suburban daily life. The market also shows 35.3% of listings as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2017 Honda Pilot reliable?

Owners rate it 4.8/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback repeatedly points to reliability, and the review summary also highlights dependable ownership, spaciousness, and a range of tech features. The expert evaluation adds that Honda’s reputation for dependability supports the Pilot’s expected longevity, and the cost-effectiveness discussion notes that Honda’s reputation for dependability precedes it. For used buyers, that means the bigger risk is less about the model’s basic durability and more about finding one that has been maintained well and hasn’t been worn down by family-duty use.

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

At 58.1% 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 has higher mileage or visible wear. Focus on condition details that matter in a family SUV: interior wear, signs of hard use, and whether the drivetrain feels smooth on a test drive. If you are comparing multiple examples, the cleanest maintenance history and the best overall condition should carry more weight than small cosmetic differences.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The LX is the base trim and lacks HondaLink infotainment, while higher trims add an 8-inch display, smartphone projection, and more convenience features. The Elite stands out with standard AWD, heated and ventilated front seats, and heated second-row captain’s chairs.
• Powertrain: Every model uses a 280-horsepower, 3.5-liter V6 with cylinder deactivation, while Touring and Elite trims add a 9-speed automatic and Idle Stop. AWD is optional on all trims except the Elite, where it is standard.
• Safety package: Honda Sensing is offered on every trim except the base LX, and it includes driver-assistance and collision-avoidance technologies. Blind-spot warning and rear cross-traffic alert are reserved for the Elite.
• Infotainment: Higher trims get HondaLink with an 8-inch display, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, HondaLink Assist, SiriusXM, Pandora, text-messaging support, USB ports, and a multi-view reversing camera.
• Fuel efficiency: The expert review cites 22 mpg in combined driving for an AWD Pilot with the 9-speed automatic, and observed fuel economy came in at 21.9 mpg on the test loop.

Which 2017 Honda Pilot trim should I buy?

The 2017 Honda Pilot is offered in 5 trim levels: LX, EX, EX-L with leather, Touring, Elite.

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the value entry point if you want the Pilot’s core space and V6 power at the lowest price, but it skips HondaLink and the Honda Sensing package.
• EX: This is the best-value trim because it adds Honda Sensing, making it the most sensible step up for safety-minded shoppers.
• EX-L with leather: Choose this if you want a more upscale cabin and the available rear-seat entertainment system for family use.
• Touring: This trim adds the 9-speed automatic, big 20-inch wheels, rear entertainment, and a premium sound system, making it a strong choice if you want more equipment.
• Elite: This is the top trim, with standard AWD, heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row captain’s chairs, and the most complete feature set.

Honda Sensing is available on every trim except the LX, but blind-spot warning and rear cross-traffic alert require the Elite.

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

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

• Deal availability: 35.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,570 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.17% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 58.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $16,498, 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 $16,498 sits slightly below last year's $17,772.

That price movement suggests the Pilot has softened enough to be attractive to used buyers, but it also means future sellers may not see the same pricing strength they would have a year ago. If you buy well now, you may have less downside risk than someone who paid closer to the prior average. The Pilot’s broad family appeal and strong owner satisfaction should still help support demand when you eventually resell.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.8/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2017 Honda Pilot safe?

The 2017 Honda Pilot earns a five-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 key safety suite, and it is offered on every trim except the base LX. It brings driver-assistance and collision-avoidance technologies, but blind-spot warning and rear cross-traffic alert are reserved for the Elite. The review also notes that Lane Watch only covers the right side of the vehicle, which is a limitation compared with a full blind-spot system.

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:

• 35.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 58.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.17% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.8/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• Honda builds it for family hauling, cargo duty, and suburban daily life, with strong AWD capability and a comfortable ride.

Consider the 2016 if:

• At $14,511, the 2016 costs less than the current year's $16,498 average.
• It blends tall SUV styling with a minivan chassis for a roomy, family-friendly driving experience.

The bottom line: If you want the better-documented market snapshot and a model year with strong owner satisfaction, the 2017 is the safer default. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2016 is the more budget-friendly path and still delivers the Pilot’s core family-hauling strengths.

How does the 2017 Honda Pilot compare to the 2017 Toyota Highlander?

Our experts score the 2017 Honda Pilot 7.2/10 and the 2017 Toyota Highlander 7.2/10. The Pilot gives you more power, stronger used-market value, and a lower average price, while the Highlander brings slightly better city fuel economy and a marginally higher accident-free share. If you want the better bargain and more robust V6 performance, the Pilot is the easier pick; if you care more about a slightly cleaner listing pool and a bit better city efficiency, the Highlander has the edge.
