CarGurus Analysis: 2018 Honda Pilot

Summary
With 117 currently listed for sale near Kansas City, MO and an average price of $20,095.00, 37.6% of 2018 Honda Pilots for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2018 Honda Pilot 4.67 / 5 stars.
100.0% of 2018 Pilot models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2018 Honda Pilot stands out as a family-focused midsize SUV that blends space, comfort, and useful technology. In the third-generation Pilot, Honda emphasized tech upgrades and additional safety features, and by 2018 the model had Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, though not across all trim levels. It also offered a roomy cabin and strong practicality, which aligns with the Pilot’s reputation for generous cargo space and easy-to-use technology. For buyers who want an SUV that feels straightforward and accommodating rather than flashy, that combination is a major part of its appeal.
The 2018 model also benefits from the broader strengths of this generation’s powertrain and safety equipment. The Pilot used a 3.5-liter V6 with direct injection, rated at 280 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic in lower trims and a nine-speed automatic in upper trims. Honda Sensing was made standard on all trim levels in 2019, so the 2018 model does not yet have that across the board, but it still sits within a generation known for adding more safety and convenience features over time. Its main drawbacks are familiar ones for the Pilot line: average fuel economy, pedestrian performance, and interior materials that can feel cheap.

Prices have softened 7.66% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.
There are 2,220 listings available, which suggests you have a meaningful amount of inventory to compare.
If you find a listing below $18,269.20, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
Is the 2018 Honda Pilot a good car?
Yes — the 2018 Honda Pilot earns a 4.67/5 user rating, which points to strong owner satisfaction.
Drivers consistently praise its spaciousness, driving comfort, and overall value. The roomy cabin and family-friendly layout also come through clearly, along with appreciation for the rear entertainment system and practical everyday usability.
For you, that means this model fits especially well if you want a straightforward three-row SUV that prioritizes space and comfort over flash. With 28.9% of listings marked as good or great deals, you also have some room to shop selectively.
Is the 2018 Honda Pilot reliable?
Owners rate it 4.67/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The owner feedback also describes it as reliable, dependable, and trouble-free overall, with comments that support confidence in long-term ownership. That said, some drivers mention common mechanical concerns, so reliability looks solid but not immune to used-car wear.
For you, the main long-term risk is buying a vehicle with unresolved maintenance or repair history, so condition and records matter.
What should I look for when buying a used 2018 Honda Pilot?
At 65.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should start with a vehicle history report and confirm whether any reported damage was repaired properly. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on body condition, signs of prior collision work, and any mechanical issues that could affect long-term ownership.
Because this model is often bought for family duty, pay close attention to interior wear, electronics, and how well the vehicle has been maintained.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2018 Honda Pilot?
This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully without expecting every listing to be a bargain.
- Deal availability: 28.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 2,220 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 7.66% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 65.1% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $18,269.20, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2018 Honda Pilot's resale value?
The current average of $18,477 sits slightly below last year's $20,009.
That softer pricing can help you buy more affordably now, but it also means future resale gains may be more limited if the market stays under pressure. If you plan to sell later, buying well matters because your eventual return will depend heavily on how much you pay upfront and how clean the vehicle's history is.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.67/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2018 Honda Pilot or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2018 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2018 if:
- 28.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 65.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 7.66% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.67/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2017 if:
- At $17,227, the 2017 costs less than the current year's $18,477 average.
- It is a practical three-row SUV built for family hauling.
The bottom line: If you want the stronger current-market balance of price, satisfaction, and available inventory, the 2018 is the better starting point. If your priority is spending less upfront, the 2017 is the more budget-friendly path, especially if you find one with a clean history and solid maintenance records.
