Trim Levels of the 2025 Honda Pilot: Spacious and Capable

Honda's Pilot is a mid-size SUV that has become renowned for its impressive capabilities and muscular styling. Its three-row cabin is ideal for large families, boasting tons of space and creature comforts. Here's a handy guide to each of the 2025 Honda Pilot 's trims. more Sport The Sport trim is desirably equipped despite being the lineup's base model. Just as with all other Pilot variants, it's motivated by a 285-hp 3.5L V6. It also offers the available i-VTM4 AWD system for improved grip in low-traction conditions. Standard tri-zone climate control, heated seats, and a 7-inch infotainment system with Bluetooth connectivity and smartphone integration mean that the Sport's interior is exceedingly comfortable and functional. EX-L EX-L models maintain identical powertrain options to the Sport while adding Trail and Sand drive modes when AWD is selected. Along with the inclusion of heating and integrated turn signals for its power side mirrors, the EX-L's exterior features a programmable power liftgate and available 18-inch HPD wheels in a black finish. Standard leather upholstery brings a luxurious touch to the passenger cabin. TrailSport Enthusiasts will revel in the TrailSport's rugged enhancements, such as standard all-terrain tires, off-road-tuned suspension, and the TrailWatch camera system that improves awareness of your surroundings in tricky spots. Of course, AWD is standard, as well. Exclusive 18-inch TrailSport wheels and wear-resistant leatherette upholstery with orange contrast stitching further distinguish the TrailSport from other trims. Touring With its hands-free power liftgate, 12-speaker Bose premium sound system, and ambient LED lighting, this model is an especially compelling choice. HPD wheels are optional, similar to the EX-L, but they measure 20 inches on the Touring. Standard support for connected navigation and internet access through a Wi-Fi hotspot adds convenience. The Touring is the first Pilot trim to introduce a stowable second-row center seat for greater versatility. Elite The Pilot becomes truly luxurious in the Elite trim. It builds on the Touring's list of features by including perforated leather seats and heating for second-row outboard seats. The Elite replaces the standard 7-inch instrument panel with a 10.2-inch version, and drivers will be able to view important vehicle information more easily with the help of a 4-inch heads-up display. Just like with the TrailSport, you'll have access to the TrailSport camera system. Black Edition This trim largely resembles the Elite when it comes to exterior features and amenities, but its 20-inch wheels come in a unique gloss black finish. Unlike its stablemate, however, the Black Edition's interior comes exclusively with black leather upholstery highlighted by beautiful red stitching. No matter which trim you decide on, you can count on the Honda Pilot to get you where you need to go comfortably and with style.
