New Honda Pilot for Sale near Ames, IA
Roomy and relatively rugged, the 2025 Honda Pilot is a three-row midsize SUV that’s easy to live with.
Honda keeps it simple with the 2025 Pilot, offering a single powertrain with a choice between front-wheel drive (FWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD). Nearly all Pilots have eight-passenger seating, and with higher trims, the second-row center section is removable to create a seven-passenger configuration. The Black Edition returns to the top of the lineup for 2025, equipped with blacked-out exterior trim and red interior accents. Also, the Honda Service Pass program is cut to 12 months or 12,000 miles.
Verdict: With the 2025 Pilot, Honda hasn’t messed with success. It is a roomy and practical daily driver that makes life easy, has plenty of power to effortlessly get up to speed, and is safe for transporting the people you love the most. However, it is time for Honda to offer a hybrid version.

What people say
Elite trim has it all, but I couldnt stand the shiny chrome shining all over my car, so I went with black edition. BTW, seats look gorgeous.
I opted for the Touring. This car is a smooth ride, has an aggressive appearance and design which I love. My wife and I often thought we own a Pilot when we expanded our family. However, we were strongly considering the Subaru Ascent because we didn’t like the previous Pilot’s iteration’ with a more rounded design. Doing our due diligence we went to Honda after test driving the Ascent and fell in love. The 8-passenger converts to captains chairs with a removable middle seat that you can store in the hidden cargo compartment. This gives the vehicle great flexible and so much more roominess when needed. I love my moon roof and Bose sound system. I also love the height of the vehicle with my 20 inch wheels.
Comfortable ride with great technology for someone who upgraded from a 2014 Odyssey. A lot less cargo space than the Odyssey. Nice to still be able to seat 8 when needed.
Car is great all the features I need. Only downside is the size of the dash screen.
Best Bang for your Buck. A/T tires are very quiet , couldn’t tell the difference between the Touring AWD.
