How much does the 2017 Honda Pilot cost?

Prices have softened 5.72% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,428 listings available, which suggests a healthy amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2017 Honda Pilot a good car?

Yes — the 4.77/5 user rating points to strong owner satisfaction, and the expert rating is 7.17/10. The model scores 8/10 across Look and feel, Performance, and Form and function.

Owners repeatedly praise its reliability, spaciousness, comfortable ride, and strong AWD capability. The overview also frames it as a family-oriented SUV that fits daily life with passengers and cargo, which matches the practical strengths owners highlight.

With 32.9% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have some 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 a dependable, trouble-free ownership experience, along with praise for the Pilot’s spaciousness and comfortable ride. The expert review also says Honda’s reputation for dependability supports confidence in the Pilot’s expected longevity.

Honda’s cost-effectiveness commentary reinforces that reputation by noting that Honda’s dependability image precedes it and gives buyers faith in the Pilot’s longevity. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about basic durability and more about whether a specific example has been maintained well and avoided transmission-related complaints.

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

At 60% 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 a prior claim. Focus on overall condition, signs of wear from family use, and whether the equipment you want is actually present on the trim you’re shopping.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The LX is the stripped-down starting point, while higher trims add the HondaLink infotainment system, triple-zone climate control, leather, larger wheels, and more comfort features. The Elite stands out for standard AWD and the most complete equipment list.
• Powertrain: Every Pilot 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 available on every trim except the base LX. It includes driver-assistance and collision-avoidance technologies, but blind-spot warning and rear cross-traffic alert are reserved for the Elite.
• Infotainment: The HondaLink system on non-LX trims 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 AWD model with the 9-speed automatic is rated at 22 mpg in combined driving, 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 with leather, Touring, Elite.

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the cheapest way into the Pilot, but it leaves out HondaLink and the Honda Sensing package. It makes sense only if you want the lowest entry price and can live without the nicer tech and driver-assistance features.
• EX: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds Honda Sensing for an extra cost and unlocks the core infotainment and convenience upgrades missing from the LX.
• EX-L with leather: This is the trim to target if you want a more upscale family hauler, since it adds leather and is also the point where the rear-seat entertainment system becomes available.
• Touring: This trim adds the 20-inch wheels, the 9-speed automatic, and the rear entertainment system as standard, making it a strong choice if you want more equipment without going all the way to the top.
• Elite: This is the most fully equipped Pilot, with standard AWD, heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row captain’s chairs, and the most complete safety setup.

Honda Sensing is available on every trim except the LX, and blind-spot warning plus rear cross-traffic alert require 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 2,428 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.72% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 60.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $16,858, 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 $17,120 sits slightly below last year's $18,159.

That decline suggests the market has eased a bit, which can work against sellers trying to maximize return. If you plan to sell later, you should expect pricing pressure to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and equipment level.

The good news is that the Pilot still has broad family appeal, and its strong owner satisfaction helps support demand. Well-kept examples with desirable features should remain easier to move than neglected ones.

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 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 named driver-assistance suite, and it is offered on every trim except the base LX. The suite covers the Pilot’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.

One caveat is that the expert review says Honda Sensing can struggle with accurate, smooth, and transparent operation in some road conditions. That means you should test the system carefully on your own routes if advanced safety tech is a priority.

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 60% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.72% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.77/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The expert review says it is a good choice for family duty, even if it has some quirks.

Consider the 2016 if:

• At $14,873, the 2016 costs less than the current year's $17,120 average.
• It blends tall, truck-like proportions with a minivan chassis for family-friendly utility.

The bottom line: If you want the stronger current-market balance of price, inventory, and owner satisfaction, the 2017 is the better default choice. If your main goal is to spend less up front, the 2016 is the more budget-friendly path and still delivers the Pilot’s core family-hauling appeal.
