Pilot
Capabilitiy
Navigate the Unknown
The Pilot navigates challenging terrain with ease. Its available all-wheel-drive system delivers confident stability, and with Hill Descent Control, steep grades are easier to conquer.
7-Mode Drive System
Up to seven available drive modes let you tailor the vehicle’s driving characteristics to your needs and surroundings. Use the toggle on the center console to choose between Normal, ECON, Sport, Snow, Trail, Sand, and Tow modes, and see each mode’s unique icon on the available 10.2-inch Digital Instrument Cluster.
All-Wheel Drive
The i-VTM4 AWD system helps enhance stability on treacherous roads, improves dry-weather handling, and helps you carve corners smoothly. It uses a pair of clutch packs that can be engaged separately, so if one rear wheel loses traction, the other helps compensate.
Powerful Drivetrain

Maximum towing capacity for AWD trims is 5,000 lbs. Maximum towing capacity for 2WD trims is 3,500 lbs. Towing requires accessory towing equipment. Please see your Honda dealer for details.
