How much does the 2023 Honda Pilot cost?

Prices have softened 6.53% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,198 listings available, which gives you a healthy amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2023 Honda Pilot a good car?

Generally — the 2023 Honda Pilot earns a 4.42/5 user rating and a 7.5/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Form and function at 10/10.

Owners consistently praise its spaciousness, comfortable ride, and room for up to 8 passengers. The Pilot also gets credit for its stylish design and roomy cabin, which fit well with its family-focused use case. On the other hand, the expert review notes that fuel economy is merely average and the infotainment system can feel underwhelming compared with rivals.

With 34.6% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have some room to shop carefully and still find value.

Is the 2023 Honda Pilot reliable?

Owners rate it 4.42/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owner feedback points to a dependable, trouble-free ownership experience centered on spaciousness, comfort, and family-friendly usability. The expert review also describes the Pilot as a vehicle that performs its everyday duties smoothly and confidently, with no false alarms from the advanced safety systems during testing. Honda’s first scheduled maintenance visit is on the house, which helps lower early ownership friction.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about outright durability and more about living with average fuel economy and a cabin that may not satisfy if you expect class-leading tech polish.

What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Honda Pilot?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 85% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a vehicle history report on any listing you like, then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection if the vehicle has been used for family hauling, long commutes, or off-pavement travel. Focus on cabin condition, tire wear, and whether the features you want are actually present on the trim you’re considering.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The TrailSport trim adds a more rugged setup with a one-inch taller ride height, unique 18-inch wheels, chunky all-terrain tires, and underbody skid plates, while the interior remains more functional and versatile than before. Base-trim buyers should pay attention to feature gaps, since the more advanced convenience and safety equipment is concentrated higher in the lineup.
• Powertrain: The Pilot uses an all-new 3.5-liter V6 with 285 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard on most models, while all-wheel drive is available across the lineup and standard on the Elite and TrailSport.
• Safety package: Honda Sensing standard equipment includes forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, traffic-jam assist, a blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, a traffic sign reader, automatic high beams, and a driver attention monitor. EX-L and higher trims add low-speed automatic braking plus front and rear parking sensors, while the TrailSport and Elite include surround-view and multi-view camera systems.
• Infotainment: Higher trims bring a larger infotainment touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a wireless phone charger, and USB ports in every row. The Touring and Elite add navigation, Bose premium audio, remote monitoring and control via a smartphone app, and a Wi-Fi hotspot.
• Fuel efficiency: The EPA estimates 19 mpg city, 27 mpg highway, and 22 mpg combined for front-wheel-drive models, 19 mpg city, 25 mpg highway, and 21 mpg combined for all-wheel-drive versions, and 18 mpg city, 23 mpg highway, and 20 mpg combined for the TrailSport.

Which 2023 Honda Pilot trim should I buy?

The 2023 Honda Pilot is offered in 5 trim levels: LX, EX-L, TrailSport, Touring, Elite.

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the entry point, but the strongest value in the lineup is the EX-L, so you should only choose LX if your budget is the top priority and you’re comfortable giving up the extra convenience and tech features found higher up.
• EX-L: This is the best-value trim. It adds a power liftgate, leather upholstery, a universal garage door opener, second-row sunshades, and the key safety and technology upgrades that make the Pilot feel much more complete.
• TrailSport: Choose this if you want the most off-road-capable version. It adds the rugged hardware and trail-focused setup, and it’s the right pick if you genuinely plan to explore moderately challenging terrain.
• Touring: This trim is for you if you want more luxury and family convenience, including navigation, Bose premium audio, remote app features, and the stowable second-row center seat.
• Elite: This is the top choice if you want the most equipment, including the head-up display, fully digital instrument panel, and the most advanced camera coverage.

The safety package is strongest on the EX-L and higher trims, while the TrailSport and Elite add the surround-view and multi-view camera systems.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Honda Pilot?

The market looks moderately favorable if you’re a selective buyer.

• Deal availability: 34.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,198 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.53% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 85.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $36,872, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2023 Honda Pilot's resale value?

The current average of $37,074 sits slightly below last year's $39,662.

That softer pricing suggests the Pilot has become more approachable for used buyers, but it also means a future seller may need to price competitively to stand out. The current trend points to a market that rewards clean condition, strong equipment, and well-kept examples more than simply waiting for appreciation. If you buy smart now, you may have a better chance of preserving value later by choosing a desirable trim and keeping mileage and condition in check.

Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.42/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2023 Honda Pilot safe?

The 2023 Pilot received a Top Safety Pick+ from the IIHS.

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard Honda Sensing features include forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, traffic-jam assist, a blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, a traffic sign reader, automatic high beams, and a driver attention monitor. EX-L and higher trims add low-speed automatic braking plus front and rear parking sensors, while the TrailSport and Elite include surround-view and multi-view camera systems.

Should I buy a 2023 Honda Pilot or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2023 if:

• 34.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 85% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.53% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.42/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• Fully redesigned for 2023 with a more rugged appearance, more power, and even more thoughtful convenience items, the new Honda Pilot crossover offers high levels of comfort, useful tech features, and an off-road-capable TrailSport model.

The bottom line: The 2023 Pilot is the better pick if you want the redesigned body, stronger feature set, and broader appeal of the new generation. If you’re especially price-sensitive, you can still shop carefully within this year because the market has softened and there’s a meaningful share of good or great deals available.
