How much does the 2025 Honda Pilot cost?

Prices have softened 5.88% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,649 listings available, which suggests you have a solid amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2025 Honda Pilot a good car?

Yes — the 2025 Honda Pilot earns a 4.91/5 user rating and a 6.5/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Form and function at 9/10.

Drivers consistently praise the smooth ride, spacious interior, and plenty of cargo space. They also like the comfortable seating and the sense of security that comes from the Pilot’s safety ratings.

The trade-offs are familiar: the technology can feel dated, and lower trims could use more luxury features. The Pilot fits you best if you want a roomy, easygoing three-row SUV that prioritizes practicality over flash.

With 35.9% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market still gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2025 Honda Pilot reliable?

Owners rate it 4.91/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Drivers describe the Pilot as smooth, spacious, and confidence-inspiring, with a reputation that points toward dependable day-to-day use. The expert evaluation also emphasizes that Honda keeps the formula simple, which usually helps ownership feel straightforward.

Honda’s Service Pass coverage is cut to 12 months or 12,000 miles this year, so you should pay attention to maintenance history and any remaining warranty coverage when shopping used. For long-term ownership, the main risk is less about complexity and more about whether the previous owner kept up with routine care.

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

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.1% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-mileage example or one with more equipment. Focus on overall condition, interior wear, and whether the technology and driver-assistance features work as expected.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Sport is affordable but light on appealing amenities, while the EX-L is the recommended minimum upgrade because it adds a more leather-lined, better-equipped feel. The TrailSport leans into added off-roading capability, and the Black Edition brings blacked-out exterior trim with red interior accents.
• Powertrain: Every version uses a 3.5-liter V6 with a 10-speed automatic transmission. It makes 285 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque, and AWD models add torque vectoring, hill descent control, and up to 7.3 inches of ground clearance, or 8.3 inches on the TrailSport.
• Safety package: Every Pilot 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.
• Infotainment: The Black Edition test vehicle had a 9-inch touchscreen and a 10.2-inch digital gauge panel, plus wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless smartphone charging, SiriusXM, navigation, HondaLink, 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.

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 does not bring many appealing amenities, so it makes sense mainly if you want the lowest starting price and can live with a simpler setup.
• EX-L: This is the best-value choice because it adds the leather-lined upgrade the review recommends at a minimum, making the cabin feel more satisfying without jumping too far up the price ladder.
• TrailSport: Choose this if you want the Pilot’s added off-roading capability and a more rugged personality.
• Touring: This is the step-up choice if you want a more upscale, better-equipped family SUV without going all the way to the top.
• Elite: Pick this if you want one of the most premium versions and are willing to pay for it.
• Black Edition: This is the style-focused top trim, with blacked-out exterior trim, black wheels, black badges, black leather seats, red perforation accents, red contrast stitching, and red ambient lighting.

Honda’s safety suite is standard across the lineup, so you do not need to move up a trim just to get the core driver-assistance features.

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 patiently but should move quickly on strong listings.

• Deal availability: 35.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,649 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.88% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 91.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $42,469, 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 $42,469 sits slightly below last year's $45,121.

That softer pricing can help you buy more carefully now, but it also means future resale will depend on how well the market holds up. If prices stay near this level, a clean, well-kept Pilot should remain attractive to used buyers because it offers space, safety, and broad family appeal.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.91/5, 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+ rating from IIHS and a five-star overall rating from NHTSA.

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

Honda Sensing is standard on every version, and it includes 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.

There are a few caveats to keep in mind. The lane-centering assist can make steering feel artificial, and the adaptive cruise control showed some awkward behavior in traffic and on grades during testing. The road sign recognition system also proved inaccurate at times.

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:

• 35.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.1% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.88% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.91/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• Honda keeps the formula simple with one powertrain and a choice of FWD or AWD.

Consider the 2026 if:

• It brings a brawnier, more truck-like look while keeping the same practical three-row formula.

The bottom line: If you want the better shopping environment and a proven, easy-to-live-with SUV, the 2025 is the safer bet. If you care more about fresh styling than price leverage, the 2026 is the cleaner visual update. For price-sensitive buyers, the 2025 is the smarter path because the market has already softened and inventory is healthy.
