Is the 2026 Honda Pilot a good car?

The 2026 Honda Pilot earns a 7.00/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Form and function at 10/10.

That lines up with the Pilot’s practical mission: you get plenty of passenger space, plenty of cargo space, and a comfortable ride that suits family duty well. It also stands out with clever features that help separate it from other three-row SUVs, even though the 2026 update is more of a refresh than a reinvention.

The main trade-off is that there’s no hybrid option, so you won’t find a more fuel-efficient version in this lineup. The Pilot also gives up some cost-effectiveness score compared with its stronger categories.

With 33.3% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have a moderate amount of market opportunity if you’re shopping carefully.

Is the 2026 Honda Pilot reliable?

The 2026 Honda Pilot is described as fundamentally the same as before, which is a good sign if you want a familiar formula rather than a major redesign. Its 3.5-liter V6 and 10-speed automatic are carried over, and the driving experience is presented as confident and easygoing for everyday use.

The expert notes that the Pilot responds reasonably quickly, feels confident when navigating curves, and remains well suited to family driving. The cabin and controls are also presented as easy to live with, which supports the case for long-term ownership.

Honda also includes a broad safety suite across the lineup, and the tech and packaging changes are evolutionary rather than disruptive. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is the same one highlighted elsewhere: you’re still living without a hybrid alternative, so fuel costs may remain a concern over time.

What should I look for when buying a used 2026 Honda Pilot?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.5% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a vehicle history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re comparing trims with different equipment levels. Focus on overall condition, feature functionality, and whether the specific example has the equipment you want for daily family use.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Sport and EX-L are the entry points, and the EX-L is the one the expert calls out as the easiest fit for most shoppers thanks to its removable second-row seat and leather seats. The Touring adds a panoramic sunroof, premium audio, and a hands-free power liftgate, while the TrailSport is the outlier for its decent off-road abilities. The Black Edition sits at the top of the range with blacked-out exterior trim and red interior accents.
• Powertrain: Every trim uses the same 3.5-liter V6 with 285 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque paired with a 10-speed automatic. The Sport and EX-L come standard with front-wheel drive, with all-wheel drive available, while all other trims come standard with AWD.
• Safety package: Every trim gets Honda Sensing, including forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, a blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert, a driver-attention monitor, a traffic sign reader, and automatic high-beam headlights. All but the base Sport also get automatic braking at low speeds and parking proximity sensors.
• Infotainment: All trims get a standard 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen and a 10.2-inch digital instrument panel. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included, and you need to move up to the EX-L for a wireless phone charger.
• Fuel efficiency: The Pilot is estimated at up to 22 mpg combined with FWD and 21 mpg combined with AWD. The TrailSport drops by about another 1 mpg across the board.

Which 2026 Honda Pilot trim should I buy?

The 2026 Honda Pilot is offered in 6 trim levels: Sport, EX-L, TrailSport, Touring, Elite, Black Edition.

Here's the short version:

• Sport: This is the entry point, but it’s also the trim with the most notable equipment gap because it misses the low-speed automatic braking and parking proximity sensors that the other trims get. Buy it only if you’re focused on the lowest starting price and can live with the simpler setup.
• EX-L: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers. It adds the leather seats and removable second-row seat the expert specifically highlights, and it also gets the wireless phone charger that the lower trim misses.
• TrailSport: Choose this one if you want the Pilot’s more rugged character and its decent off-road abilities. It still shares the same powertrain as the rest of the lineup, so you’re buying capability and appearance rather than extra performance.
• Touring: This trim is for you if you want more comfort and convenience, thanks to the panoramic sunroof, premium audio, and hands-free power liftgate. The expert questions whether the price jump is worth it, so this is more of a want than a need.
• Elite: This trim sits near the top of the range and is best for shoppers who want a more upscale Pilot without going all the way to the Black Edition.
• Black Edition: Pick this if you want the most distinctive appearance, with blacked-out exterior trim and red interior accents.

All trims come with Honda Sensing, and all but the base Sport add automatic braking at low speeds and parking proximity sensors.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2026 Honda Pilot?

The market looks moderate and selective right now, so you can shop with some leverage if you compare listings carefully.

• Deal availability: 33.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,474 listings available.
• Clean inventory: 91.5% of listings are accident-free.

Is the 2026 Honda Pilot safe?

The 2026 Honda Pilot was not yet rated by NHTSA or IIHS at the time of writing, but the 2025 Pilot received an overall five-star rating from NHTSA and was named a Top Safety Pick by IIHS.

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

All Pilot trims come with Honda Sensing, which includes forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, a blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert, a driver-attention monitor, a traffic sign reader, and automatic high-beam headlights. All but the base Sport also get automatic braking at low speeds and parking proximity sensors.

The expert notes that the forward collision warning can be a bit too sensitive, and lane-departure warning can also be sensitive if you don’t track the lane markings closely.

Should I buy a 2026 Honda Pilot or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2026 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2026 if:

• 33.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.5% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Clever features help the Pilot stand out from other three-row SUVs.

Consider the 2025 if:

• Honda keeps the Pilot simple with a roomy, practical setup and a single powertrain.

The bottom line: If you want the latest Pilot with updated styling, a larger standard touchscreen, and the same practical strengths that made the model appealing in the first place, the 2026 is the better default choice. If you’re more price-sensitive and want a straightforward family SUV, the 2025 remains a smart alternative because it keeps the same basic formula and may be easier to shop at a lower price.
