I have a 2023 Pilot Elite with Brown Interior. And have basically made it "Black Edition". Powder Coated the Rims black - tints, window visors, and the black tow hitch/panel. Many compliments.
If you want a diffrent interior color seat color combo. The Black Edition only gives you one choice. I'm getting Pilot Elite with Platinum White Pearl exterior color with Brown interior color avaliable on the Elite. Added extras Black Oem Running Boards Oem splash guards. Interior Oem Illuminated Pilot Door Sill. Adding 30% tint to Front Door windows. I had that done to sister's new 2024 HR-V EX-L AWD we got in June. Then I will add AVS Low Profile Window Vent Visors to 4 Door windows. AVS also makes a Low Profile Hood Deflector. I've seen on Pilot on internet. I'll decide that later.
I would take my Black edition over the plain MDX. It has basically the same equipment It has the exact same engine and drivetrain. The MDX interior is "nicer" The Honda's controls are much better since the Acura's touch pad system is terrible. Finally, the Honda has a roomier third row and overall space. The type S, however, is an entirely different thing, it offers real performance.
MDX has less passenger and cargo space in You cant stow 2nd Row middle seat in MDX. Even if you never remove2nd Row seat and stow underneath rear floor. Thats usable Cargo storage space MDX lacks. If you want 360 Multi-View Camera System the Pilot Elite Black Edition and TrailSport trims have. You have to get Advance Package with Camera System in MDX. The sportier driving experience with Double Wishbone Suspension of MDXThe premium features like Jewel Eye headlights gets me to thinking MDX Advance Package. But passenger or cargo space of Pilot Elite or Black Edition and 3rdRow A/C vents MDX doesn't have at seat level. This makes me go Pilot. PILOT ELITE AND BLACK EDITION give enough Bells and Whistles features to make you think do I need this MDX Advance Package. The 4th Generation Pilot exterior looks is the only Generation I really liked.

Congrats on your purchase!
I get many compliments on my 2025 black edition in black.
I chose the black edition. An extra couple if thousand on a car isn't a deal breaker.
Right same
Yeah when you dropped $50k already, another $1500 is nothing.
Good choice 👍

I'm torn between this or MDX
Can't go wrong with either one!

@@Wised1000 Thanks for reply. I'm definitely leaning more towards the black edition now. I'm going to check inventory in my area.

You can just get a Lexus??? Or an Acura?????
which one??? And they aren't as big in the back.
@@MikeCadGuy If paying this much for a Honda might as well look at a Lexus TX or GX. Or Acura MDX.
@@Surayahti There not as big!
The elite equivalent of a Honda in Lexus is 72k.
@@JG-fy2yw The base Lexus is even more luxurious than most "elite" or premium Hondas and Toyotas.
