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.

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

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 wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• 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 front-wheel drive standard, while all-wheel drive is available if you want it.
• EX-L: This trim adds all-wheel drive standard and brings a removable second-row seat and leather seats, making it the best-value choice for many shoppers.
• TrailSport: This version adds decent off-road abilities and stands out for buyers who want a more 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 treatment 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 years tend to be popular because they give you a strong mix of availability, newer features, and a wide range of prices. More listings also make it easier to compare condition, equipment, and deal quality before you buy.

What is the Honda Pilot's resale value?

Most model years in the Pilot lineup are showing lower prices than a year ago, which is good news if you're shopping used. The biggest drops are concentrated in the newer and mid-cycle years, while the older examples are changing more slowly. That pattern gives you a lot of room to shop based on budget and equipment level.

The 2015, 2014, and 2016 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
