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 lines up with the Pilot’s practical cabin, plenty of passenger space, plenty of cargo space, and comfortable ride, which make it a strong fit for family duty. It also stands out with clever features that help it separate itself from other three-row SUVs, even though the 2026 update is more of a refinement than a reinvention.

The main trade-off is the lack of a hybrid option, and the cost-effectiveness score reflects that weakness. If you want a roomy, easygoing midsize three-row SUV and you value utility over fuel-sipping efficiency, the Pilot still makes a compelling case. Good and great deals account for 35.0% 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 structure and formula, which is a good sign for shoppers who liked the previous version. Its powertrain is unchanged, and the driving experience remains confident and predictable rather than demanding or complicated.

The V6 feels adequate for merging and passing, and the Pilot’s steering revisions are meant to improve stability and feedback. The cabin and controls also carry over with only modest updates, which usually helps keep ownership straightforward. The available maintenance perk language is not part of the 2026 model-year details here, so the main reliability takeaway is simpler: if you buy one used, your long-term risk is mostly tied to normal wear, maintenance history, and how the SUV was treated rather than to a major redesign gamble.

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

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.7% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re comparing multiple trims or higher-mileage examples. Focus on overall condition, signs of prior bodywork, and whether the features you want are actually present on the specific vehicle you’re considering.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base Sport trim is the most stripped-down version, while higher trims add more comfort and convenience features. The EX-L is the value-oriented step up if you want leather seats and a removable second-row seat, while the Touring adds a panoramic sunroof, premium audio, and a hands-free power liftgate.
• Powertrain: Every 2026 Pilot uses the same 3.5-liter V6 with 285 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard on the Sport and EX-L, while all-wheel drive is standard on the other trims.
• Safety package: All trims include the Honda Sensing suite with 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, a 10.2-inch digital instrument panel, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Honda’s latest software. 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 front-wheel drive, 21 mpg combined with all-wheel drive, and about 1 mpg less in the TrailSport.

Which 2026 Honda Pilot trim should I buy?

The 2026 Honda Pilot is offered in 7 trim levels: Sport, EX-L, TrailSport, Touring, Elite, Black Edition, and TrailSport.

Here's the short version:

• Sport: This is the entry point, and it makes sense if you want the lowest starting price and can live without the extra comfort and convenience features found higher up the range.
• EX-L: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds leather seats and a removable second-row seat, and it’s the step up many families will appreciate most.
• TrailSport: Choose this if you want the Pilot’s more off-road-capable character; it’s the outlier in the lineup for that reason.
• Touring: This trim is for you if you want a more upscale feel, with a panoramic sunroof, premium audio, and a hands-free power liftgate.
• Elite: This is the higher-end choice if you want a more premium Pilot experience without going all the way to the Black Edition.
• Black Edition: Pick this if you want the top-of-the-line look and feel.
• TrailSport: This trim is the one to focus on if you want the Pilot’s most rugged setup and are willing to pay for that character.

All but the base Sport trim also get automatic braking at low speeds and parking proximity sensors, so that’s an important safety-package difference to keep in mind.

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient and compare listings carefully.

• Deal availability: 35.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,506 listings available.
• Clean inventory: 91.7% of listings are accident-free.

Is the 2026 Honda Pilot safe?

The 2026 Honda Pilot’s crash-test results were not available at the time of writing, but the previous model earned a Top Safety Pick from IIHS and a five-star overall rating from NHTSA.

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

All Pilot trims come with the Honda Sensing suite of safety features, 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 model also get automatic braking at low speeds and parking proximity sensors.

One caveat worth noting is that the forward collision warning was 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:

• 35.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.7% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Clever features help the Pilot stand out from other three-row SUVs.

Consider the 2025 if:

• It keeps the Pilot’s roomy, practical formula with a single powertrain and easygoing daily-driver appeal.

The bottom line: If you want the latest Pilot with updated styling, larger screens, and the same practical strengths that made the model appealing in the first place, the 2026 is the better target. If you’re shopping mainly on price, the 2025 is worth a look because it delivers the same core space-and-comfort formula and may be the more economical buy.
