  • Honda's three-row Pilot has been a segment stalwart for years and it's all-new for 2023. So can it keep up with rivals like the Kia Telluride, Hyundai Palisade, Toyota Highlander (and Grand Highlander), Nissan Pathfinder, Ford Explorer and Chevy Traverse?
    The 2023 Honda Pilot continues its legacy of being a reliable, comfortable, and versatile SUV. It's a vehicle that's designed with the modern family in mind, offering ample space for both passengers and cargo. The Pilot's three-row seating comfortably accommodates up to eight passengers, making it an ideal choice for larger families or those who frequently travel with a crowd.
    Under the hood, the Pilot maintains its reputation for performance. It's powered by a robust V6 engine that delivers a smooth, responsive ride. The Pilot's all-wheel-drive system ensures you're ready to tackle any road condition, whether you're navigating city streets or venturing off the beaten path.
    Inside, the 2023 Pilot is all about comfort and convenience. The cabin is decked out with high-quality materials, giving it a premium feel. The infotainment system is user-friendly and comes with a host of features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Pilot also boasts a suite of advanced safety features, including Honda's Sensing suite of driver-assist technologies, ensuring peace of mind on every journey.
    On the outside, the 2023 Pilot sports a sleek, modern design that's sure to turn heads. Its bold lines and dynamic styling make it stand out in the crowded SUV market.
    There's also the off-road oriented TrailSport edition, which now sports higher ground clearance, beefier tires, and a host of other goodies and upgrades aimed at making the Pilot a more-capable hauler when the roads get rough.
    Overall, the 2023 Honda Pilot is more than just a practical family SUV. It's a vehicle that offers a blend of comfort, performance, and advanced features, all wrapped up in a stylish package. Whether you're on the school run, heading out on a family road trip, or simply commuting to work, the Pilot is designed to make every journey a pleasure.

If anyone buys a 2023 Honda Pilot they will love ❤️ it and they keep their resale value Very well.😀

    Although gas mileage isn’t great, the engine does run on regular gas which is a cost saving over cars that require premium.

    Yes I like this vehicle this trim and color combo. Will probably be shopping for it September,October.

  • @modernsoccer1860

    Saw one recently, was very impressed with the looks

  • @marisaabell8699

    New body style looks so aggressive. I love it.

  • @YelloFello15

    This looks nice!

  • @rrtruckcenters

    I’m a Toyota fan and have owned a 4Runner and currently a Highlander, but I’m on the fence with the new Pilot.

    This was a relief to watch as a new owner of 2023 Honda Passport Touring edition. As with all of my big purchases, I was having a bit of buyer’s remorse but this video reminded me why the wife and I decided on the Passport (very similar to the Pilot) as the best fit for us.

    Trading in my wife's 2020 Limited Palisade for the 2024 Elite. We drove just about every V-6 3 row SUV and the Pilot was the most comfortable with a surprisingly tight turning radius.

    They went back to their roots with the styling.

  • @feline-n6b

    How does the pilot compare to subaru ascent..looking at both models

  • @kassieprincipe6959

    I definitely notice the transmission. I’ve had my Pilot for a couple of months. I love it other than the transmission.

    I just purchased the model car color shown in video except for the interior which in my Honda is black. I don't do brown. Ever! Mine is also a 2024. I currently have a 2009 Honda Pilot EXL and it's been a great vehicle and never let me down! I didn't think I would be buying another one, but I really just don't like the idea of a 4 cylinder car with turbos or hybrid. It's the cost of something going wrong with either technology that can bite you later! I like the idea that Honda engineered the V-6 for better emissions as I'm not anti enviornment, but still like a tried and true stand alone quality motor witha proven track record. So, back to the Honda it was and I have no regrets. The dealer gave me one hell of a deal as the weather was bad and on a weekend and the GM didn't want to see deals lost. I was thinking of the new Lexus GX 550 as the only alternative, but isn't coming out until mid year or so with delays and earthquake that shut things down for a bit. It also has a V6, but sadly with turbos, but would have been the only turbo car I would have bought. But, the sticker price also killed it. No brainer going back to tried and true. Bottom line, I love it!

  • @qualitylandscapemorellc

    Is this a sport LX, touring, elite???

  • @feline-n6b

    When is 2024 pilot elite coming out

  • @Vmh1717

    How is this for a tall driver in the front seat?

  • @RetrieverTrainingAlone

    Can you fit two large dog boxes side by side inside? Width of 49 inches, height 36 inches, length 42 inches. Thanks.

  • @sansin6250

    Does the Elite drive smoother and quieter than the Trailsport? I will be preordering one without testdriving.

  • @SkyDomeVIZE

    Was looking getting into one, but the center console with the gear selection takes up too much space, and not having a hybrid model for the price really is a bummer. Currently own a 07 Ridgeline RTL. V6 great engine, but out dated. Currently not worth the money IMO. Let wait see what Honda does by 2025.

    I'll wait for the upgraded larger entertainment screen, hybrid engine option, improved Honda Sensing lane keep, more trims with ventilated seats, and better noise reduction.
