How much does the 2025 Honda Pilot cost?

Prices have softened 5.78% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,596 listings available, which suggests you should have a workable selection 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. Comfortable seating and a strong sense of security from the safety ratings also come through in owner feedback.

The trade-offs are familiar: the dash screen could be larger, and lower trims could use more luxury features. That lines up with the Pilot’s practical, family-first setup, where space and ease of use matter more than flash.

The Pilot’s straightforward three-row layout and easygoing daily-driver character make it a strong fit if you want a roomy SUV that keeps life simple. Even so, only 34.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so market value still depends on the specific vehicle you find.

Is the 2025 Honda Pilot reliable?

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

Owner feedback points to a reliable, trouble-free, and dependable ownership experience, with drivers especially appreciating the Pilot’s comfort and security. The expert evaluation also describes it as easy to live with and a vehicle that makes daily life simple.

Honda’s service coverage is limited to 12 months or 12,000 miles, so you should still pay close attention to maintenance records and remaining warranty coverage on any used example. For a used buyer, the main long-term risk is less about the Pilot’s basic formula and more about finding one that has been cared for consistently.

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

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.2% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a history report on any Pilot you’re considering and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the vehicle has higher mileage or visible wear. Focus on how the cabin, electronics, and driver-assistance systems function in real use, since those are the areas where condition and trim differences matter most.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Sport is affordable but does not have many appealing amenities, so the leather-lined EX-L is the minimum upgrade the review recommends. The TrailSport adds off-roading capability, while the Black Edition brings blacked-out exterior trim, black badges, black leather seats, 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. It can tow up to 5,000 pounds, and AWD models add hill descent control, torque vectoring, and up to 7.3 inches of ground clearance, or 8.3 inches on the TrailSport.
• Safety package: Every version includes 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 9-inch touchscreen and a 10.2-inch digital gauge panel. It also includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless smartphone charging, SiriusXM satellite radio, text-messaging support, navigation, HondaLink subscription services, Wi-Fi access, and a 12-speaker Bose audio system.
• Fuel efficiency: The review says fuel economy is unimpressive, and it cites 17.8 mpg in city-heavy driving and 20 mpg on an evaluation loop, versus an official 21 mpg combined rating.

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 is light on appealing amenities, so it makes sense mainly if you want the lowest starting price and can live without many extras.
• EX-L: This is the best-value trim because it adds the leather-lined upgrade the review recommends at a minimum, making it the smartest starting point for most shoppers.
• 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 Pilot without going all the way to the top.
• Elite: This trim sits near the top and is the basis for the Black Edition, so it suits you if you want the most premium Pilot experience.
• Black Edition: This is the style-focused flagship, with blacked-out exterior trim, black badges, black leather seats, red accents, and the most distinctive look in the lineup.

Honda Sensing is standard across the lineup, so you do not need to move up a trim just to get the core safety suite.

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you should shop carefully and compare condition, mileage, and equipment.

• Deal availability: 34.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,596 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.78% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 91.2% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $42,580, 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 $42,585 sits slightly below last year's $45,198.

That price movement suggests the Pilot has already given back some value, which can help you as a buyer today. For a future seller, the softer trend means resale upside may be more limited unless your vehicle is especially clean, well equipped, and well maintained.

The Pilot’s broad appeal as a roomy family SUV should still support demand, especially because shoppers continue to value its space, safety, and easy ownership experience. But if the market keeps favoring newer or more fuel-efficient alternatives, you should expect resale to depend heavily on condition and trim.

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 five-star ratings from NHTSA.

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

Honda Sensing is standard on every version and 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 technology.

The expert review also notes some real-world caveats with the driver-assistance systems, including inconsistent adaptive cruise behavior, an intrusive lane-centering system, and inaccurate road sign recognition. So while the crash-test results are strong, you should still test the assistance features yourself on a used example.

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:

• 34.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.2% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.78% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.91/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The Black Edition returns with blacked-out exterior trim and red interior accents.

Consider the 2026 if:

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

The bottom line: If you want the better-known value play, the 2025 is the safer buy because pricing has eased and inventory is healthy. If you’re mainly shopping for the freshest styling and don’t mind paying for it, the 2026 is the cleaner alternative; if you’re price-sensitive, the 2025 is the one to target first.
