Exactly! My favorite part of the Pilot is how they don't make the 3rd row as an after thought. Spacious with ventilations and device charging is a big plus! Thanks for watching!
One thing Honda has usually been good about in the past is making safety features available in lower trim levels. I like that most are available but I do wish the 360 camera was available at least in EXL and up. Some competitors give it you in much lower trims and its a good safety feature. Honda really ought to make it more available.
I had a month with it now it’s totaled but great vehicle I’m getting it again. No injuries done to me. Just sore. But I can’t wait to drive my pilot again😢
When's the trail sport trim level gonna start hitting dealerships in PA ?? I do like the Elite model I just wanna check out the trailsport in person before I buy either one
I really like this new version and love this color combo. One thing that is confusing to me is why they chose to put a smaller infotainment screen in the Pilot than in the Accord. Bad decision-- this should have a bigger screen.
@@c.harperautogroup I have a feeling Honda will get this feedback a lot and may do a refresh with a larger screen. We have an Acura RDX now and want to go bigger. There are things we like about the new Pilot more than the MDX.
Why is there no rear infotainment? You would think a family car would have a dvd player in the back. Are they just assuming everyone will have their own phones and ignore each other? That’s fine if you have teens, but my kids are 2 and 4, so for a road trip we would have no entertainment anymore…. Everything else looks good tho!
I wish I had a better answer but I believe the choice was made because DVD's aren't as relevant anymore. We would prefer they offered some type of screen option in general, but guessing they chose not to as many use iPads now for in-car entertainment. Thanks for watching!
what is the interior length and width of this vehicle? also, how big is the trunk space? I am thinking of buying one but need enough room to sleep with my 2 dogs
The 2023 Honda Pilot has 114 Cubic of total cargo space with the 2nd and 3rd row seats folded down. I think you would have plenty of space with the new Pilot!
So many great features and nice touches. However, one thing that bothers me is I know they could have selected much more pleasant sounds for the door open and startup "chimes". The ones they decided on are annoying IMO. Too bad that's not something they made configurable in terms of tone and/or volume like selecting a ring tone for your cell phone. Just watched Pathfinder and QX60 startup and Nissan has picked a great, non-annoying startup chime for both and it's only 4 times instead of 5. I've been leaning toward the Pilot but I really don't want to have to listen to those annoying tones every time I start it.
Totally get where you're coming from. Some luxury brands like Lincoln use an Orchestra arrangement for their chimes which is a nice touch. Though, I will say the Honda chime isn't that annoying once you get used to it. Thanks for watching!
New feature favorite - Contrasting Pipping on the seats, great borrow from the Acura and finally the panoramic sun roof. Least favorite - The infotainment screen looks so, so, so small for the size of the cabin. Does it look as bad in person? O, cant forget,,, C;mpn Honda.. The exhaust doesnt come through the chroome tips ??!! Why not??
The contrast piping is SO NICE! This Elite trim certainly gets closer to MDX levels of luxury for a more affordable price. Regarding the infotainment size, I personally think it looks/works fine in this vehicle, but I'm not one for huge screens - I prefer usability and this new system nails that. Thanks for watching!
@@c.harperautogroup Actually not in my opinion! The EXL for some reason doesn't have the falsies, and its rear bumper looks way cleaner to me. But to each his own
Unfortunately not at this moment. The best option would be to order the Honda accessories hitch from the parts department at any Honda dealer. Thanks for watching!
@@ohrandyrandy ha ha. I’m very familiar with what they look like, thanks. I watched the Preproduction Units being built and the first 60 units of Trailsport roll off of the assembly line. I see the panoramic sunroofs everyday at the Honda facility in Alabama. I can tell you the pack quantity, rack size, and the delivery location where they’re installed. I was simply asking why no one is opening them in the videos. Thanks for the insight though.
@C. Harper Auto Group they need a permanent disablement. You have to press the disable button everytime you restart the vehicle. Alot of unecassary wear and tear. Just stupid how all these car company's Still don't get it. Doesn't save you gas and is really hard on the engine and starter
@@jaxripper251 it’s not always their choice, a lot of that is government regulation related. It’s so much better for the environment, who cares if it’s bad for the car as long as regulators can make up numbers that say they are saving the environment to please the people who ride the bus and don’t own a car.
@Fred Moss that's a pain in the ass and soon that Button will wear out just Make the damn vehicles where all you gotta do it press it one time to disable the shit
Your talking style is very unique. It sounds like you put a period at the end of each word which causes choppy listening.. My daughter actually asked if I was having Wi-Fi problems because she thought the video was skipping…🫤
The spacious 3rd row is what sells me.

It is an awesome vehicle! My dad just bought an Elite in the Lunar Silver Metallic. Great review! 👍🏻
Love Lunar Silver! Excellent choice, enjoy!

Great point, the 360 degree camera is such an awesome feature!
The light interior looks great. I have seen other videos of the dark interior and it looked cheap and boring but this is beautiful.
It really does look great! Nice to offer something different than just black. Thanks for watching.
Dude. We get it. It’s a Honda Pilot. 😂
Very happy with my Touring in Platinum White!
Right on!
I had a month with it now it’s totaled but great vehicle I’m getting it again. No injuries done to me. Just sore. But I can’t wait to drive my pilot again😢
Glad to hear it kept you safe, that's all that matters!
Android auto navigation will it cast onto the HUD?😊

You should start seeing them now or very soon. Our Trailsport demo unit is likely to arrive next week and will be available for test drives.

It's a beautiful color combo! We agree, a bit of a head scratcher for sure.

They say possible product supply was reason. Maybe had to choose what vehicle bigger screen went into. It could easily accommodate larger screen.

I have driven odyssey for almost 18 years and didn't think for a second to upgrade (or downgrade) to elite !
They truly are beautiful! Thanks for watching.

Some people are never happy !
I agree. Plus to fake exhaust vents. Cmon Honda! 👎

Mom has 21 Rogue. The chime is amazing. So soothing
I am trying to decide between White or Sonic Grey.
Both are great choices. I myself am partial to Sonic Gray :D

I too wish they were real like the Passport :( better than hidden though!

@chriso9811 yes it looks horrible
how did u get those cool blinking lights?
Just an effect with our cameras. No blinking in real life
Can’t decide between the white one and sonic Grey one?
I love Sonic Gray a smidge more myself, but both are great choices :D
Can't wait when yhe black edition is available
The Black Edition is going to look amazing with this new body style!
Can you order a factory hitch on the elite trim?
Unfortunately not at this moment. The best option would be to order the Honda accessories hitch from the parts department at any Honda dealer. Thanks for watching!
amazing color combination
It really is beautiful! Thanks for watching
Beautiful 👌
Thank you! Cheers!
Looks great but I don’t like the way the headlights are lid
Thanks for watching!
My new 2023 Pilot elite jerking when slowing down 😢
That’s the only complaint
Hopefully that smooths out for you!
Do the side mirrors automatically fold when the doors lock?
They do! This feature can also be turned off if the owner likes.
Thankyou. Great video👍🏻👍🏻
@@billlount2489 No problem! Thanks for watching
Can you fold mirrors urself or have to wait to turn of motor
Why isn’t anyone showing the panoramic sunroof open?! They took away the kids’ entertainment for this feature, why not sell it more?
15:46
Sorry it was raining in this video. We‘ll show it off more in a future video
It looks like it's opened, when it's open. 😐

I wish it had more range. 340miles isn’t much. Electric cars go further. & no rear mirror LCD
Can't get an electric car this size for this amount of money yet unfortunately.

Wait I think I missed it, is it redesigned?
Yes, it's the 4th gen
Yes, all new redesign for the 2023 model year :)
I noticed only crappy things are advertised on TH-cam
🤣
huh huh huh huh. he said stiffer
😂😂
Its not v-6 it is inline 6
All Honda Pilots feature a 3.5L V6 motor not an inline 6. Thanks for watching!
If it has that stupid stop start bs I will never buy it. Wears the shit out of the starter
Unfortunately most new vehicles have this automatic start/stop feature. Luckily, you can disable it in the 2023 Honda Pilot!

Just push the button to turn it off when you start vehicle. If you forget press it anytime after that.

Unclassy and ugly rear lights. Should be sleeker and more sophisticated.
