New Honda Pilot for Sale nearWashington, IA

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 $27,113, and its nationwide average price reached a low of $24,396 over the past year. 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 choice if you want a roomy, family-friendly SUV with broad appeal and a consistently positive owner response. The all-generations owner rating is 4.68/5 across every model year in the data.

Owners repeatedly praise the Pilot for its spacious cabin, comfortable ride, and family-friendly practicality. Across the model years, the Pilot also earns recurring praise for cargo space and everyday usability, which helps explain its long-running popularity.

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

The main trade-offs that show up in expert feedback are average fuel economy, some underwhelming infotainment setups in earlier years, and occasional complaints about engine or transmission feel. Even so, the Pilot remains appealing if you value space, comfort, and a straightforward ownership experience.

33.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

Are Honda Pilot models reliable?

Owners consistently describe the Honda Pilot as spacious, comfortable, and easy to live with, and those strengths show up again and again across the model years. Expert feedback also reinforces its family-friendly character, with practical cabin design and everyday usability standing out as recurring positives.

• 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 generally tied more to individual vehicle history and maintenance than to the Pilot’s core formula, so a careful pre-purchase inspection and service-record review 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, while all-wheel drive is available; it suits shoppers who want the Pilot’s core space and capability at the lowest price point.
• EX-L: This trim adds a removable second-row seat and leather seats, making it the best-value choice for many shoppers who want comfort and flexibility.
• TrailSport: This trim adds decent off-road abilities and is the one to choose if you want the Pilot’s more rugged side.
• Touring: This trim adds a panoramic sunroof, premium audio, and a hands-free power liftgate for shoppers who want more convenience and upscale features.
• Black Edition: This top trim brings the most premium presentation 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 more inventory to compare, stronger deal availability, and a newer feature set that still sits below the newest pricing peak.

What is the Honda Pilot's resale value?

The table shows broad downward movement across the lineup, which is good news if you're shopping used because prices have generally softened year over year. The declines are fairly consistent rather than isolated to just one part of the range, and several newer model years are also moving lower. The smallest changes appear in the oldest and newest entries near the ends of the table.

The 2014, 2016, and 2024 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

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. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are also included.

• Starting price: Prices for the 2026 Honda Pilot start at $43,690 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.
