• Owners rate the Honda Pilot between 4.4 and 4.91 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.

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

Across all model years, at 74.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2022 models.

Key things to evaluate:

• Safety package: Honda Sensing suite
• Infotainment: larger standard 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen and a 10.2-inch digital instrument panel for all trim levels
• Fuel efficiency: The 2026 Pilot is estimated to return up to 22 mpg combined (19/27 mpg city/highway) with the FWD layout. With AWD, the EPA estimates a slight drop to 21 mpg combined (19/25 mpg city/highway), while the off-road-capable TrailSport drops by about another 1 mpg across the board.

Which Honda Pilot trim should I buy?

The 2026 Honda Pilot offers these trims:

• Sport: The entry-level trim starts the lineup with the standard 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, 10.2-inch digital instrument panel, and Honda Sensing safety suite; it’s the value-focused starting point.
• EX-L: Adds leather seats, a removable second-row seat, and wireless phone charging, making it the best-value trim for many shoppers.
• TrailSport: Adds the off-road-oriented hardware and is the standout choice if you want the Pilot’s more rugged capability.
• Touring: Adds a panoramic sunroof, premium audio, and a hands-free power liftgate for a more upscale family setup.
• Black Edition: Sits at the top of the range with the most premium presentation, including unique styling details.

What Honda Pilot do most buyers choose?

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

The highest-volume years tend to be the most popular used picks because they give you more inventory to compare, more pricing spread to shop, and a better chance of finding the equipment level you want. They also tend to sit close to the sweet spot between newer features and used-car value.

What is the Honda Pilot's resale value?

Most Honda Pilot model years are down year over year, which is good news if you’re shopping used because it creates more room for value. The biggest drops are concentrated in the newer and mid-cycle years, while the older models are changing more gradually. That pattern suggests you can often find stronger pricing on a broad range of Pilot years without giving up the model’s core family-friendly appeal.

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

Should I buy a used Honda Pilot now or wait for the next model?

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The 2026 Pilot uses a 3.5-liter V6 with 285 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, and it is estimated to return up to 22 mpg combined with FWD or 21 mpg combined with AWD.
• Tech: The 2026 Pilot upgrades to a larger standard 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen and a 10.2-inch digital instrument panel, and it includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
• Safety: 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.
• Starting price: The 2026 Honda Pilot starts at $43,690 for the entry-level Sport trim.

If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
