How much does the 2023 Honda Pilot cost?

Prices have softened 8.28% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,334 listings available, which suggests you have a healthy amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2023 Honda Pilot a good car?

Generally — the 2023 Honda Pilot earns a 4.4/5 user rating and a 7.5/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Form and function at 10/10.

Owners consistently praise its spacious cabin, comfortable ride, and room for up to 8 passengers, and they also like the stylish design and family-friendly practicality. The main trade-offs are that fuel economy is merely average and the infotainment system can feel underwhelming compared with rivals. For you, that means the Pilot makes the most sense if you want a roomy, comfort-first three-row SUV rather than the class’s most exciting powertrain or tech setup. Good and great deals account for 35.4% of listings, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2023 Honda Pilot reliable?

Owners rate it 4.4/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a dependable, trouble-free ownership experience centered on comfort, space, and everyday usefulness. The expert evaluation also describes the Pilot as a vehicle that delivers broad family utility with thoughtful convenience items and a well-rounded driving experience. Honda’s first scheduled maintenance visit is on the house, which helps early ownership costs. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about durability and more about whether the specific vehicle was maintained well and used in a way that matches its family-hauling mission.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 82.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a vehicle history report on any listing you like, because accident-free status alone does not tell you how the SUV was maintained or repaired. Prioritize a close inspection of the cabin, infotainment operation, and any signs of heavy family use, since this model is often chosen for daily duty and long trips. If you’re considering a TrailSport or AWD-equipped example, make sure the added hardware and tires match the seller’s description and condition.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The EX-L is the value leader, adding a power liftgate, leather upholstery, a universal garage door opener, second-row sunshades, and the key safety and technology upgrades. Base trims miss some of those convenience features, while the Touring and Elite trims add the stowable second-row center seat.
• Powertrain: The Pilot uses a 3.5-liter V6 with 285 horsepower and a 10-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard on most trims, while all-wheel drive is available across the lineup and standard on the Elite and TrailSport.
• Safety package: Honda Sensing is standard and 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, and the TrailSport and Elite include surround-view and multi-view camera systems.
• Infotainment: The EX-L and higher trims get the larger touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a wireless phone charger, and USB ports in every row. Higher trims add a multi-view camera system, while the Touring and Elite add navigation, Bose premium audio, remote monitoring and control through a smartphone app, and a Wi-Fi hotspot.
• Fuel efficiency: The FWD model is rated at 19 mpg city, 27 mpg highway, and 22 mpg combined. AWD drops to 19 mpg city, 25 mpg highway, and 21 mpg combined, while the TrailSport is rated at 18 mpg city, 23 mpg highway, and 20 mpg combined.

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 it’s mainly for shoppers focused on getting into the Pilot at the lowest price. You’ll get the core family-SUV package, but the EX-L is the better value if you want the Pilot’s most useful comfort and tech upgrades.
• EX-L: This is the best-value trim. It adds the power liftgate, leather upholstery, universal garage door opener, second-row sunshades, the larger touchscreen, wireless smartphone integration, and the key safety upgrades that make daily use easier.
• TrailSport: Choose this if you want the Pilot’s off-road-capable character. It adds a one-inch taller ride height, unique 18-inch wheels, chunky all-terrain tires, and underbody skid plates, making it the right pick if you actually plan to leave pavement.
• Touring: This trim is for you if you want more luxury and convenience than the EX-L, including navigation, Bose premium audio, remote monitoring and control via smartphone app, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, and the stowable second-row center seat.
• Elite: This is the most fully equipped Pilot, adding a head-up display, a fully digital instrument panel, and standard all-wheel drive. It also includes the TrailWatch camera system, so it’s the top choice if you want the most technology and the most standard equipment.

The TrailSport and Elite trims also include the multi-view camera systems, which is a useful safety and visibility upgrade.

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop carefully without feeling rushed.

• Deal availability: 35.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,334 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.28% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 82.8% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $35,406, 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 $35,406 sits slightly below last year's $38,605.

That price movement suggests the Pilot has already absorbed some depreciation, which can help future sellers if they buy at the right number today. A softer market now can also make it easier for you to find a well-equipped example without paying peak pricing. Because the model still has strong family appeal and broad usefulness, demand should remain steady for clean, well-kept examples.

Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.4/5, 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.

Honda Sensing is standard on all trims and 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. In testing, the advanced safety features worked as intended, and the adaptive cruise control was smooth in maintaining following distance.

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:

• 35.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 82.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.28% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.4/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• The 2023 model brings a full redesign with a more rugged appearance, more power, and thoughtful convenience items, plus the TrailSport’s off-road-capable angle.

The bottom line: The 2023 Pilot is the right pick if you want the redesigned body style, stronger feature set, and a broad mix of family-friendly trims. If you’re especially price-sensitive, a nearby model year may save you money, but the 2023 gives you the most modern version of this generation’s design and equipment.
