Are Honda Pilot models reliable?

• 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 74.7% 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 and comes with the Pilot's core family-friendly setup, making it the value-focused starting point.
• EX-L: This trim adds a removable second-row seat and leather seats, and it should easily satisfy most shoppers.
• TrailSport: This trim stands out for its decent off-road abilities.
• Touring: This trim adds a panoramic sunroof, premium audio, and a hands-free power liftgate.
• Black Edition: This top trim brings the most upscale positioning in the lineup.

What Honda Pilot do most buyers choose?

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

These higher-volume model years tend to be popular because they give you a strong mix of newer features, broad availability, and plenty of shopping choice. They also sit close enough to the current generation to keep the Pilot's core strengths front and center.

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 and want prices that have softened. The declines are generally in the mid-single digits, with a few years dropping more sharply. That pattern suggests you can find meaningful value across much of the lineup rather than waiting for a rebound.

The 2014, 2021, and 2024 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Consider waiting if:
