What Honda Pilot do most buyers choose?

The Honda Pilot years with the most listings are 2024, 2025, and 2023.

What is the Honda Pilot's resale value?

Most model years are showing lower prices than they were a year ago, which is good news if you're shopping used.

Overall, the pattern points to improving value for buyers rather than rising prices.

The 2014, 2015, and 2024 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
