Is the 2026 Honda Pilot a good car?

The 2026 Honda Pilot earns a 7/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Form and function at 10/10.

That score lines up with the Pilot’s core appeal: it keeps the practical formula that makes it useful for families, with plenty of cargo space, plenty of passenger space, and a comfortable ride. It also gets a more truck-like look for 2026 without changing the underlying package much, which is a plus if you already liked the Pilot’s straightforward approach.

The main trade-off is that it still lacks a hybrid option, so efficiency remains the weak spot. Even so, the Pilot’s broad usefulness and family-friendly layout make it a strong fit if you want a roomy three-row SUV rather than a flashy one.

Good and great deals account for 32.3% of listings, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2026 Honda Pilot reliable?

The 2026 Honda Pilot is presented as a familiar carryover in a package that remains fundamentally the same as before, which supports confidence in how it should hold up over time. Honda also describes it as a practical, easy-to-live-with family SUV, and the powertrain is unchanged for 2026.

Its 3.5-liter V6 is described as confident and more reassuring than a four-cylinder engine, and the driving experience is generally calm and predictable. The cabin and controls are also described as easy to use, which matters for long-term ownership because simpler systems tend to be easier to live with day to day.

If you buy used, the biggest long-term ownership risk is still the same one the Pilot has at new-car level: you’re trading efficiency for a conventional gas-only setup.

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

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.6% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re comparing trims with different equipment levels. Focus on overall condition, tire wear, brake feel, and whether the cabin tech and driver-assistance features work as expected.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The entry-level Sport and EX-L trims come standard with front-wheel drive, while all other trims come standard with all-wheel drive. The EX-L should satisfy most shoppers with its removable second-row seat and leather seats, while the Touring adds a panoramic sunroof, premium audio, and a hands-free power liftgate.
• 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 transmission. There’s no power advantage as you move up the lineup.
• Safety package: All trims get 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.
• Infotainment: Every trim gets a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen and a 10.2-inch digital instrument panel, plus wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A wireless phone charger is reserved for the EX-L and above.
• Fuel efficiency: The Pilot is estimated to return up to 22 mpg combined with front-wheel drive, and 21 mpg combined with all-wheel drive. 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, and Black Edition.

Here's the short version:

• Sport: This is the entry point, and it gives you the full Pilot powertrain and standard Honda Sensing, but it’s the trim where you give up the low-speed automatic braking and parking proximity sensors that come on every higher trim.
• EX-L: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds leather seats and a removable second-row seat, while also unlocking the wireless phone charger.
• TrailSport: Choose this if you want the Pilot’s more off-road-oriented character; it’s the outlier in the lineup for its decent off-road abilities.
• Touring: This trim adds a panoramic sunroof, premium audio, and a hands-free power liftgate, but the price jump is harder to justify unless you want those extras.
• Elite: This is the step-up choice if you want a more upscale Pilot with the higher-trim equipment and AWD standard.
• Black Edition: This is the top trim if you want the most fully dressed version of the Pilot, but it’s mainly about appearance and equipment rather than a different driving experience.

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

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully without expecting every listing to be a bargain.

• Deal availability: 32.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,465 listings available.
• Clean inventory: 91.6% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $47,680.45, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2026 Honda Pilot safe?

The 2026 Honda Pilot did not have current NHTSA or IIHS results available at the time of writing, but the prior model year earned a five-star overall 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.

One caveat is that the forward collision warning can be a bit too sensitive, and lane-departure warning can also be sensitive if you drift from the lane markings.

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:

• 32.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.6% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Clever features help the Pilot stand out from other three-row SUVs.

Consider the 2025 if:

• It keeps the formula simple with a single powertrain and a choice of FWD or AWD.

The bottom line: If you want the latest Pilot styling and updated tech while keeping the same core family-friendly formula, the 2026 is the cleaner choice. If you’re shopping mainly on value and want a straightforward, roomy three-row SUV, the 2025 remains the sensible alternative.
