Great Review as always Lauren. However, I'm gonna have to Zonk the new Pilot. Compared to the new Toyota Grand Highlander, it misses on many different levels. A 9" infotainment display? What a huge miss... especially when you can get the 12.25" in the new Accord. The leaders in this segment offer 12.25". It's like Honda is crying out for help by saying "We just can't beat the Kia and Toyota... so I'll admit defeat by putting in a 9" display". No heads up display, either. No digital driver's instrumentation cluster. I'm sure the 3rd row and total overall cargo capacity is well below Kia/Hyundai offerings and much less than the Grand Highlander. No heated or ventilated 2nd row seats. Again Grd Highlander beats this. Yes they did the passenger side storage tray on the dash.. yet Grd Highlander ups the anty by adding a USB charging port there so the passenger can charge an ipad or cell phone in a very convenient manner. I'm not sold on the larger cup holders comment. It still doesn't look like it compares to the Grd Highlander design where it has a spot for 2 cups and 1 large Yeti or Sport Bottle spot. Again, just not up to par with the best of the best. The interior fit n finish does look fantastic and Honda did a great job on that part. So overall, a great vehicle that brings it up to maybe 4th or 3rd place in the SUV segment behind the Grd Highlander, Kia/Hyundai Telluride/Pallisade, and the newly designed Mazda CX-90. This is a VERY competative market and it is very exciting to see each of the manufacturer's try to out-do their competitors each year. One year it's Kia, the next is Honda, then Toyota leapfrogs them all... Mazda playing hard-ball with the new CX-90... can't wait to see what 2025 and 2026 will look like...
Thanks for the compliment and your perspective. I do agree with you. But the Kia Telluride and the Hyundai Palisade really are the leaders in the category. They offer the longest warranty and the most for your money. It’s hard to beat that. We’ve only seen the Toyota grand Highlander, it’s going to be a big success for them. I don’t think their price is going to be what Kia and Hyundai are offering. But we shall see you when we get all the details and a test drive.
This comment is almost ENTIRELY wrong. - there is a HUD - there is heated second row seats - the pilot has larger third row seats than either Korean twin car - the pilot has USBs in all the rows - the pilot has MORE cup holders than the grand highlander - the pilot has significantly more total cargo space than the grand highlander. No idea where this dude got his information but he’s hilariously wrong on almost every single point.
@@Taylor.Watson Agree with you. On cargo space, I think it'll be similar between the two - the specs do lie. I'm 99% sure the max cargo space given for the Pilot is with the front seats all the way forward (undriveable position). Unclear what the Grand Highlander cargo spec is based on, but Toyota has also been caught fibbing in the past on other models (saying the space for the 3rd row should be counted as cargo even though it would need to be unbolted from the car).
@@Taylor.Watson I was thinking of the same thing where does he get his information from ? If you go for the elite trim they have all of those specs that he gripes about
@@Taylor.Watson well this dude can admit that i was incorrect on the HUD display and digital dash.. My bad... i didn't hear Lauren mention it and may have missed it if she did. .. so I didn't do my own homework on that one. The cargo capacity behind the 1st row seats is essentially the same at 87 cuft with the Korean twins.. so that too was something I picked up from another channel that had the Korean Twins at #2 in Cargo Space... so they may have been wrong in not included the '23 Pilot cargo figures. My facts are correct that the Grand Highlander has 98 cu ft of cargo space behind 1st row seats as i mentioned. The Pilot has 87... So i'm not sure how you state this in your last bullet point that the Honda has 'significantly' more total cargo space than the GH. The GH does offer 2nd row Ventilated seats that the Honda does not... so I should have been more specific in my wording by saying 'Heated & Ventilated' seats rather than saying 'Heated or Ventilated' ... Secondly, I only compared certain items... never mentioned anything about quantity of cup-holders I only mentioned the one 'Big' one that Toyota employed that can be used for a large bottle or thermos or Yeti type bottles in the GH.. Which the Honda doesn't have. If you carry those types of containers, they wouldn't fit in any of the 78 cup holders in the Honda. It's the point that the Toyota designers wanted to add to accommodate a certain customer base who needs one of those types of 'cup' holders. I also never mentioned anything about the number of USB ports in any row... I was only pointing out a very convenient feature of one specific USB port up next to the tray area on the passenger side dash. Another designed convenience touch that the designers are thinking about and i'm sure sourced from feedback of Toyota customers. So not sure why that is listed as a comment that i would have been ENTIRELY wrong on when in fact it was only an opinion of the convenience of where the USB port was placed. So... hilariously wrong on almost every single part? Hardly... but understand your attempt to belittle. Although i didn't see any comment about my first and most biggest point about the 9" small infotainment system. Many people who do car reviews on TH-cam have commented about this miss on Honda's part. I'm simply pointing that fact out here on this channel. I'll still stick to my accurate points i made about the comparison of both vehicles... short of the HUD/dig dash and more cargo room from the Korean twins. But that's okay if you still disagree... I can't wait for the side-by-side comparisons of the rest of these two vehicles. Fuel Economy, interior sound levels, 0-60 performance... and the other attributes that these vehicle professionals do when comparing the overall quality of each. Funny thing is... I'm a proud Honda owner of a 2008 Accord with 300,000 miles on it and did mention that the Pilot is "a great vehicle".
I hope you realize how helpful this review is. I appreciate your attention to detail, and the fact that you cut to the chase, provide extremely useful information, and don’t waste any time with superfluous nonsense. Your observations are practical and thoughtful. I look forward to binging on many more of your video reviews. I currently own a 2011 Pilot that has been running perfectly with no problems at all for nearly 12 years. I am looking to replace it, which is why I am currently researching options. Thank you!
I just bought one and the exhaust actually does not come out of the chrome tips. Those are actually aesthetics. The exhaust points to the ground. Which I think is better so the carbon doesn’t stick to the rear of the car. I love this car!
Many reviews I've seen don't like exhaust outlets are fake. When Honda refreshed the Ridgeline pickup truck a few years ago. They had the daul exhaust tips functional sticking out. Everybody liked that update. It had hidden exhaust before refresh.
Just purchased a new 2023 elite in sonic gray, this is our fourth pilot ,by far the best pilot we have had, more power, more comfortable and quite ride, better quality materials, my brother owns a 2022 Acura mdx advance, lot of similarities
Chose this over the highlander this time to replace girlfriend's rav 4, because of the naturally aspirated V6. I tow my ATVs into the mountains, I don't trust a turbo 4. The trailsport was perfect because even though we don't go offroading, ATV trailheads are dirt roads with ruts. Even dented a gas tank last year and messed up my fuel system, so the skid plates will be perfect. Thanks for the review Lauren, I listen to you on Dave B's show on WBEN in Buffalo!
I have a 2005 Honda pilot 290,000 Miles still drives like new and kept it bought my wife a 2023 Honda Pilot she loves it it’s a fantastic SUV the best in its class V6 Naturally aspirated engine No turbo so the engine will last long till less stress on engine components for sure .
Excellent review! I have that same Elite on the way to our local dealership now. Can’t wait to own this spectacular SUV! Thank you for the detailed walkthrough!
Thanks for a great review. Are the ambient lights in the front cup holders?--found this a great feature in the 2021 Touring, especially late-night cross-country...
For me, the smaller view screen is actually easier to see. I can glance at it and see all the information quickly. I like that the screen is up high and and the head’s up view.
Improved so much. They even got rid of minivan arm rests lol. Much better looking, kept a V6, better transmission. The only drawback small LCD screen for infotainment and too bad it does not have shift lever.
Sticking with my 2017 Pilot. Love it ❤️. Comfortable even in 3rd row & a Smooth ride. Still low mileage. Maybe one day I will change over to a new one. Hanging onto mine for now.
Wait ?!!! What ??? This is not what I was expecting ? This looks like the LEGENDARY Honda Pilot and not the Honda pilot "mall finder" from 2016-1022 ! So far, so good !!!
Does this have a hatch window that opens like my original 2009 Honda Pilot have? Missing this window would still me missing my pilot body style as it really needs to mirror my current year pilot even more. Thank you and let me know.
Good review. Many great changes. There are two issues. First, no rear bumper. A tap in the parking lot, best order a new hatch. Not a fan on the push button gear selector.
Great review on the new Pilot. I need a 2” trailer hitch like the Trailsport but would prefer a Touring model. I have researched adding a trailer hitch to the Touring and getting different answers. Do you know exactly what is required and cost estimate to add a hitch? Thanks. Also the hitch is needed for my Thule Bike rack, I am not pulling a trailer.
Good update especially for safety. I don't like the tacky black trim around the HVAC vents, no lumbar height adjustment for passenger and no hybrid option
Imports??? Honda Pilot has been built in Lincoln Alabama along side Ridgeline pickup truck Odyssey minivan. I look at my Consumer Reports Best and Worst 252 models rated. Last few years Buick Enclave has reliability issues But the later Enclave is listed in premium category with Acura MDX the starting price. But Pilot is redesign riding on MDX platform.
I’m also a GM family member and own a 2019 Buick LaCrosse which I love for both short and long trips. I am actually down to deciding between the Traverse/Enclave and new Pilot as the quality of the ride- transmission, V6 engine, suspension, and overall ride quality along with cabin size are the most important features to me. The Pilot rides very smooth as do the GM models.
@@musicvibe88 All the best with either choice. Speaking just for myself - I had good luck with GM - until I didn't. And the dealer even showed me internal rules of GM on warranty....it costed me lots of money. I'm not some big social media guy where I'd publish stuff on Twitter, etc etc etc - I dont even have an account lol. But - me? I'd go Honda over GM all day long based on what I learned. The new pilot looks exciting. My brain tells me I should go Pilot.....the other parts of my want QX60 :)
@@MPDLR All the best on your decision, too. I’ve always purchased GM vehicles but our 2012 Chevy Equinox was a nightmare. 2011-2013 models had serious engine consumption problems. We were supposed to get a new engine through GM but the dealership just replaced the piston rings. It has never been right and has limped along for years with many repairs. Time to look elsewhere.
Honda makes great cars…but we went with the Telluride xPro. I know it’s subjective but the “new” Pilot interior looks dated to me. Honda missed it with the small screen and tech. The exterior of the more off road version looks great.
I have mixed feeling about tucked in wipers. Try parking it outside in the Canadian winter. It is a nightmare to clear snow and ice! Always loved Pilot. Amazing truck.
I was thinking the same thing as the designer was explaining it. Tucking the wipers underneath the hood is not a great idea if you live in the upper half of the world.
NICE ride. I always wanted a V^ that I had to keep changing the timing belt and water pump on every 60k miles! But this is a very nice car. Thumbs up Review!! Looks so much better than the 22!
Why are you changing timing belt every 60k miles? Are you towing alot? My 2000 Acura TL is 100,000 miles. The 2007 Honda Ridgeline we did 100,000 mile interval no towing.
Why does Honda keep issuing media clips of vehicles that don't exist?? That blue "Trailsport" doesn't exist with those fenders. Instead they put huge bulky fenders on the Trailsport - which are gaudy and ugly.
To say it is the same "undercarriage" as the MDX is not exactly accurate; it is the same basic architecture - but the MDX has a different suspension design.
When people wonder why cars are expensive, look at segment on this video about all those airbags. Lol. Expensive, probably cause recalls, and expensive to fix if deployed. Alas we want it all 🤦♂️🤷♂️🤦🏽♀️
Hey Car Coach, Is it Better Than a KIA Telluride? Pulling your question out of your title, did I miss it or did you answer this? So, what's the answer Is it Better Than a KIA Telluride?
I don’t understand why anyone cares for bigger screen, I could care less, if the screen is a touchscreen, quick and it plays my music, I’m cool with it. After we all use Apple CarPlay / android. Could be just me
Right??? All of these people complaining that they don't have a big screen TV tacked to the dash. What's the point of anything larger than what comes standard? I honestly don't understand.
Wrong, Kia is light years ahead of Honda and has taking the lead of developing new technology and building better cars. Honda and Toyota better watch out, Kia isn't messing around and no longer the clunkers they used to be back in the '90s.
Jeff you are absolutely correct about kia being light years ahead of American cars. Both kia and Hyundai have improved astronomically. They are not up to honda and Toyota but they tend to lean on more tech and luxlike the germans. I would 100$ take them over the germans. They still have a long way before they reach honda and Toyota.
Only if you prioritize distracting huge screens over actual drive. Honda drives MUCH better than the Korean twins and have more practical features like wireless integration with android auto that kia doesnt have. Who carries a wire to connect to the car in 2023? The panoramic moonroof blows away the small roofs in kia. Telluride interiors does look better but you aren't looking at them while driving and the Honda awd is way better than anything kia/hyundai have to offer. Go for a test drive and you will see my point.
@@havok3344 Maybe, but the entire time that 4 cylinder hybrid will sound junky on any hard acceleration. The non-hybrid turbo 4 sounds a little better but it's still no V6.
It's 2023 and Honda still doesn't offer a hybride? How can that be? The entire country has literally been whining about the gas prices, yet people want a V6 engine.
Guess I am getting old because I don't care about screen size or meaningless tech. kia dealership troubles and build quality, would always take a Honda over a kia.
1960s-1970s mama and daddy's drove station wagons. Late 1980s and 1990s they drove minivans. I'd take the Pilot over those vehicles. Although that Odyssey is still impressive.
All-New 2023 Honda Pilot Elite, a car for the over-extended yoga pants mom. You will be stuck behind this vehicle at the Starbucks drive-thru while she orders a 20 ingredient drink.

That's only on that trim.
It's still basic few colors.
TrailSport gives orange stitching and TrailSport lettering.
never disappointed with your reviews!

I have had 4 Honda's civics, accord and odyssey. Pilot definitely better than last on but 2024 Mazda CX 90 the one to get...PHEV
How is the ride - smoothness - vs Buick Enclave? Had GM for 27 years - but I got burned on warranty - - so for first time I'm looking at imports.
Imports??? Honda Pilot has been built in Lincoln Alabama along side Ridgeline pickup truck Odyssey minivan.

I'm waiting for the honda prologue presentation whenever it becomes available here
excellent...... appreciable, commendable and meritorious......
Still no hybrid for the Pilot or Passport. Why not? The Highlander hybrid can even tow 3500 lbs.
I have mixed feeling about tucked in wipers. Try parking it outside in the Canadian winter. It is a nightmare to clear snow and ice! Always loved Pilot. Amazing truck.
I was thinking the same thing as the designer was explaining it. Tucking the wipers underneath the hood is not a great idea if you live in the upper half of the world.
I think it has heated wipers
It has de icer tho.
NICE ride. I always wanted a V^ that I had to keep changing the timing belt and water pump on every 60k miles! But this is a very nice car. Thumbs up Review!! Looks so much better than the 22!
Right on!
🙄🤮🤯
Why are you changing timing belt every 60k miles? Are you towing alot? My 2000 Acura TL is 100,000 miles. The 2007 Honda Ridgeline we did 100,000 mile interval no towing.
I test drove one and the pano roof rattled constantly over every little bump. Is that common or too new for anyone to notice yet?
No rattling on the one I drove today.
No rattling on the Trailsport I drove, either.
When are you doing the Toyota sienna review
As soon as I can schedule one
It would be nice if you showed the 3rd row
I believe the Trailsport AND Elite comes standard with AWD, not just the Trailsport.
Why does Honda keep issuing media clips of vehicles that don't exist?? That blue "Trailsport" doesn't exist with those fenders. Instead they put huge bulky fenders on the Trailsport - which are gaudy and ugly.
Screen is too small for year 2023 and looks like an afterthought. Everything else looks good.
V6 beats turbo 4 any time. Pilot> Highlander
Agreed
Not on gas mileage. When you are looking for a gas station to overpay for fuel the hybride will keep on driving
Yeah, until you actually try one.
To say it is the same "undercarriage" as the MDX is not exactly accurate; it is the same basic architecture - but the MDX has a different suspension design.
I adress that during the drive portion - thanks for adding that

Wrong, Kia is light years ahead of Honda and has taking the lead of developing new technology and building better cars. Honda and Toyota better watch out, Kia isn't messing around and no longer the clunkers they used to be back in the '90s.
I love my 22 Sorento
Jeff you are absolutely correct about kia being light years ahead of American cars. Both kia and Hyundai have improved astronomically. They are not up to honda and Toyota but they tend to lean on more tech and luxlike the germans. I would 100$ take them over the germans. They still have a long way before they reach honda and Toyota.
Korean junk is no good beyond 80K miles. Talk to mechanics.
Only if you prioritize distracting huge screens over actual drive. Honda drives MUCH better than the Korean twins and have more practical features like wireless integration with android auto that kia doesnt have. Who carries a wire to connect to the car in 2023?
The panoramic moonroof blows away the small roofs in kia. Telluride interiors does look better but you aren't looking at them while driving and the Honda awd is way better than anything kia/hyundai have to offer.
Go for a test drive and you will see my point.

Everything you said is the opposite and it's obvious you haven't driven a Kia lately.... Honda fanboys crack me up!! 😂
3rd row has 3 person seat belt capability but the center seat seems extremely small to fit anyone. Not sure why honda would do that.
Failed to answer your thumbnail question: Is it Better Than a KIA Telluride?
Sorry but looks like the Ford Explorer, especially from the side and rear..
Kids don't listen? Oh, I thought it was just my crew.
All kids don't listen 😂
I need the security of a spare tire or donut
Probably my next vehicle, since toyota highlander has turbo is probably less reliable than this.
Don't assume man... give it 5 to 10 years then you can see if it's less reliable
@@alvinsimba734 yeah I canr five it 5 to 10 years , I need it within 2 years lol, but your right time will tell
I think Toyota’s hybrid power train will last longer than this Honda transmission.
@@havok3344 Maybe, but the entire time that 4 cylinder hybrid will sound junky on any hard acceleration. The non-hybrid turbo 4 sounds a little better but it's still no V6.
Good price honda
SavageGeese rates the Pilot best in class, above the Kia and Toyota
It's 2023 and Honda still doesn't offer a hybride? How can that be? The entire country has literally been whining about the gas prices, yet people want a V6 engine.
By the time the Honda engine dies you will have been through 3 Kia ones. Nough" said.
You need to google the difference between USB type C and USB type A. You're spreading some misinformation here.
2023 Honda Pilot engine still using timing belt. i don't understand why??? Lazy engineers???
The telluride is better than the pilot
On the outside, it just looks dated. Center console is too small, should be at least 11inch.
nice 8 seater
👍
Ill take honda over a kia any day!
You didn't demonstrate third row access and space for those passengers?! FAIL !!
STILL prefer an MDX type S
great choice - I agree
@@CarCoachReports ight!!
Get the MDX for sport, get the pilot for space
Thanks for that reply. But I need leg room and pace + space.
The MDX type S is great if you have the extra 25k.🙂
Guess I am getting old because I don't care about screen size or meaningless tech. kia dealership troubles and build quality, would always take a Honda over a kia.

Is it better than the Kia? I will say yes before even watching the video….
understood
I trust Honda and Toyota any day and anytime ! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
No hybrid option and small screen are a deal breaker.
Of course it is. Honda >>>>>>>>>>> Kia
Hello? The title of this video?? What about the title of this video??
…sorry thumbs down
Soccer mama car.
1960s-1970s mama and daddy's drove station wagons. Late 1980s and 1990s they drove minivans.
I'd take the Pilot over those vehicles. Although that Odyssey is still impressive.
KIA Telluride is way Better Than Honda Pilot.
2023 Telluride shits on this.
Just watch savagegeese's review on this and get back with me.
Korean junk is no good beyond 80K miles.
How would everybody here feel if I start reviewing a brassiere that's why car sales are down because women are reviewing it
Its already looking 10 years old !!
All-New 2023 Honda Pilot Elite, a car for the over-extended yoga pants mom. You will be stuck behind this vehicle at the Starbucks drive-thru while she orders a 20 ingredient drink.
😂
Will the new Grand highlander spank this 😎
Ahhh haha haha 😆
Hardcore here and there !!!!
