The Honda Pilot's current nationwide average price is $27,149, and its lowest point over the past year was $24,400. Recently, prices have come down for the 2023, 2024, and 2025 models, making now a good time to shop recent model years.

Is the Honda Pilot a good car?

The all-generations owner rating is 4.68/5 across every model year in the data.

Expert reviews rate the 2020 and 2023 models among the highest across all years.

Are Honda Pilot models reliable?

Owners consistently describe the Honda Pilot as spacious, comfortable, and easy to live with, and expert reviews reinforce its practical, family-oriented character. Across the model years in the data, it earns especially strong praise for comfort, usability, and everyday versatility.

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

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that older examples can bring more wear-related concerns, so a careful history check and pre-purchase inspection matter.

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 with the Pilot’s core family-hauling formula and standard front-wheel drive.
• EX-L: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers, adding leather seats and a removable second-row seat, with all-wheel drive available.
• TrailSport: This trim adds the Pilot’s off-road-focused hardware and is the choice for buyers who want the most rugged setup.
• Touring: This trim adds a panoramic sunroof, premium audio, and a hands-free power liftgate.
• Black Edition: This top trim brings the most upscale presentation in the lineup.

What Honda Pilot do most buyers choose?

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

Higher-volume years usually give you more choices in color, trim, mileage, and price, which makes it easier to find a version that fits your budget and feature priorities. They also tend to be the years shoppers cross-shop most often, so you can compare more listings side by side.

What is the Honda Pilot's resale value?

Most model years in the table are down year over year, which is good news if you’re shopping used because prices have generally softened. The declines are fairly consistent across the lineup, with several recent years showing similar drops rather than one dramatic outlier. That pattern suggests you can shop with some leverage, especially if you’re comparing multiple recent model years.

The 2014, 2024, and 2021 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: Under the hood of the 2026 Honda Pilot is the same 3.5-liter V6 engine as before. It produces 285 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque and is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.
• Tech: For 2026, the Honda Pilot upgrades to a larger standard 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen and a 10.2-inch digital instrument panel for all trim levels.
• 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: Prices for the 2026 Honda Pilot start at $43,690 (including $1,495 in destination fees) 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.
