New Honda Pilot for Sale nearBirmingham, AL

How much does the Honda Pilot cost in today's market?

Used Honda Pilot prices span a wide range depending on model year. Here's what the market looks like right now:

The Honda Pilot's current nationwide average price is $27,183, and its year-round low is $24,404.03. That puts you in a broad shopping range across older and newer model years, with recent examples commanding the highest prices. 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?

Yes — the Honda Pilot is a strong used SUV choice if you want space, comfort, and family-friendly practicality. The all-generations owner rating is 4.68/5 across every model year in the data.

Owners consistently praise its spacious cabin, smooth ride, and value for the price. Across the model range, shoppers also tend to like its comfortable, easy-to-live-with character and the way it fits larger families.

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

The main tradeoffs are familiar ones: fuel economy is only average, some years draw criticism for engine or transmission behavior, and a few generations have interior materials that feel less upscale than the rest of the package.

31.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

Are Honda Pilot models reliable?

Owners consistently praise the Honda Pilot for its spaciousness, comfort, and family-friendly usefulness. Expert reviews also point to a practical, easy-to-live-with SUV that fits daily family duty well.

• 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, long-term ownership risk is most manageable when you verify service history and choose a well-kept example with a clean record.

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 standard roof rails, the larger 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, the 10.2-inch digital instrument panel, and Honda Sensing. It suits you if you want the most affordable way into the redesigned Pilot.
• EX-L: This trim adds a removable second-row seat and leather seats, making it the best-value choice for many shoppers who want a more comfortable and flexible cabin.
• TrailSport: This version adds the Pilot’s decent off-road abilities and is the one to choose if you want the model’s more rugged character.
• Touring: This trim adds a panoramic sunroof, premium audio, and a hands-free power liftgate for shoppers who want more convenience and a richer feature set.
• Black Edition: This top trim brings the most upscale presentation in the lineup, including unique diamond quilting for the top sections of the seats in synthetic suede material and contrasting stitching.

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 the most popular used picks because they give you more inventory to compare and a strong mix of pricing and deal availability. That usually makes it easier to find the right trim, mileage, and condition for your budget.

What is the Honda Pilot's resale value?

Most model years 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 meaningful drops. That gives you more room to compare trims and mileage without chasing a rising market.

The 2014, 2024, and 2016 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?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −5.84% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −5.43%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 32.6% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 32.6%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $39,158. The Honda Pilot offers a roomy, family-friendly cabin with plenty of passenger and cargo space.

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 2027 inventory to mature.
