How much does the 2025 Honda Pilot cost?

Prices have softened 5.08% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 4,488 listings available, which gives you a healthy amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2025 Honda Pilot a good car?

Yes — you’re looking at a 4.9/5 user-rated SUV with an expert rating of 6.5/10. The standout strength is Form and function at 9/10.

Drivers consistently praise the smooth ride, spacious interior, and plenty of cargo space. Comfortable seating and a strong sense of security from the safety ratings also come up again and again. On the downside, some owners wish the dash screen were larger and want more luxury features in the lower trims.

That lines up with the Pilot’s role as a roomy, practical three-row SUV that’s easy to live with and well suited to daily family use. It’s also described as a straightforward choice rather than a flashy one, so if you value usefulness over novelty, it fits that brief well.

With 36.3% of listings marked as good or great deals, there’s a decent amount of market opportunity if you shop carefully.

Is the 2025 Honda Pilot reliable?

Owners rate it 4.9/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The user feedback points to a dependable-feeling SUV that owners are happy to live with over time, especially because of its smooth ride, spacious cabin, and confidence-inspiring safety reputation. The expert evaluation also describes it as a practical daily driver that makes life easy and is safe for transporting your family.

Honda’s Service Pass program is limited to 12 months or 12,000 miles, so you should factor routine maintenance into your ownership budget. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about outright durability and more about whether the specific vehicle has been maintained well and avoided hard use.

What should I look for when buying a used 2025 Honda Pilot?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 89.3% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the report carefully, because a clean listing percentage does not replace a proper history review. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on the cabin electronics, driver-assistance behavior, and overall interior condition, since the Pilot’s technology and comfort features are a big part of its appeal. It’s also worth confirming that the seating configuration and trim equipment match what you expect, especially if you want the more flexible higher-trim layout.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Sport is affordable but light on appealing amenities, while the leather-lined EX-L is the recommended minimum upgrade. The TrailSport adds off-roading capability, and the Black Edition brings blacked-out exterior trim, black badges, black leather seats with red perforation accents, red contrast stitching, and red ambient lighting.
• Powertrain: The Pilot uses a 3.5-liter V6 with a 10-speed automatic transmission, making 285 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. Honda offers front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, and the AWD system adds torque vectoring, hill descent control, and up to 7.3 inches of ground clearance, or 8.3 inches on the TrailSport.
• Safety package: Every version gets Honda Sensing with forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, lane-centering assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control. Higher trims can add parking sensors and a multi-view camera system with TrailWatch technology.
• Infotainment: The Black Edition has a 10.2-inch digital gauge panel and a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system. It includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, text-messaging support, wireless smartphone charging, navigation, HondaLink subscription services, Wi-Fi access, and a 12-speaker Bose audio system.
• Fuel efficiency: The Pilot averaged 20 mpg on the evaluation loop and fell short of the official 21 mpg combined rating. City-heavy driving returned 17.8 mpg in testing.

Which 2025 Honda Pilot trim should I buy?

The 2025 Honda Pilot is offered in 6 trim levels: Sport, EX-L, TrailSport, Touring, Elite, and Black Edition.

Here's the short version:

• Sport: This is the entry point, but it’s the least appealing choice if you want the Pilot to feel well equipped. It makes sense only if your priority is getting into the model at the lowest price.
• EX-L: This is the best-value trim because it adds the leather-lined upgrade the review recommends at a minimum, making the Pilot feel more complete for everyday family use.
• TrailSport: Choose this if you want the Pilot’s added off-roading capability and a more rugged character. It’s the trim that best matches the SUV’s tougher styling and more adventurous intent.
• Touring: This is the step-up choice if you want more comfort and convenience without going all the way to the top of the range.
• Elite: This trim brings you closer to the luxury end of the lineup and is a better fit if you want a more premium-feeling Pilot.
• Black Edition: This is the top trim, with blacked-out exterior trim, black badges, black leather seats with red accents, and the most distinctive appearance in the lineup.

Honda Sensing is standard across the lineup, so you don’t need to move up just to get the core safety suite.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2025 Honda Pilot?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient.

• Deal availability: 36.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 4,488 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.08% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 89.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $41,514, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2025 Honda Pilot's resale value?

The current average of $41,514 sits slightly below last year's $43,737.

That softer pricing suggests the Pilot has become a little easier for used buyers to access, which can help demand stay healthy in the near term. For a future seller, that means you may not see the same pricing strength you would have a year ago, but the model’s broad family appeal still gives it a solid audience.

Its strong owner satisfaction should also help support demand when you eventually sell. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.9/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2025 Honda Pilot safe?

The 2025 Honda Pilot earns a Top Safety Pick+ from IIHS and five-star ratings from NHTSA.

It earns a 6/10 safety score from our experts.

Every version comes with Honda Sensing, including forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, lane-centering assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control. Higher trims can add parking sensors and a multi-view camera system with TrailWatch technology.

There are also some caveats to keep in mind. The adaptive cruise control and lane-centering assist both drew criticism in testing, and the road sign recognition system was described as inaccurate. So while the Pilot’s crash-test results are strong, you should still pay attention to how its driver-assistance systems behave on your test drive.

Should I buy a 2025 Honda Pilot or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2025 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2025 if:

• 36.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 89.3% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.08% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.9/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The Black Edition returns for 2025 with blacked-out trim and red interior accents.

Consider the 2026 if:

• It brings a more truck-like look while staying fundamentally the same.

The bottom line: If you want the better value right now, the 2025 is the smarter path because pricing has eased and inventory is healthy. If you’re mainly shopping for the freshest styling and don’t mind waiting for the next model year, the 2026 is the alternative to watch.
