2011 Honda Pilot

The 2011 Honda Pilot is an eight-passenger, three-row crossover sport utility vehicle (SUV) that comes with front-wheel or all-wheel drive. Equipped with a 3.5 liter V-6 250 horsepower engine paired to a 5-speed automatic transmission, the Pilot is a best of class champion. With four grade levels, ranging from the base LX to the Touring, every trim has remote entry, power windows and doors, a lift-up glass hatch, and a tilt-telescoping steering wheel. The Touring trim offers luxurious amenities, including power seats, a rear lift gate, a moon roof, and comfortable seating in the interior. Navigation systems are available for the EX or higher.

The Honda Pilot is equipped with a rigid, durable, steel unibody coupled with front and rear independent suspension. Amazingly responsive with smooth handling, the Pilot's interior volume is very generous, and it has a split folding back seat in the second row. Safety systems and equipment are standard. The Honda Pilot offers good fuel economy, but most are impressed with its creature comforts. EPA fuel economy rating is in the 16 mpg city/22 mpg highway range.
