Boxy Honda Pilot Balances Comfort With Utilitarianism

The sport utility vehicle segment has seen dramatic changes in terms of products and in terms of consumer demand. Although brawniest of SUVs were once popular, it is now the more car-like SUVs and crossovers that consumers really desire. That being said, some consumers may want the best of both worlds, and for those buyers the Honda Pilot might be the perfect fit.

With its boxy design, the latest generation Honda Pilot is styled more like a traditional SUV than before. Despite having a more truck-like, utilitarian design, Tysons Corner Honda says the Honda Pilot still hangs on to plenty of car-like qualities - especially considering that the Pilot’s chassis is essentially identical to the Honda Odyssey minivan.

Like others in its class, the Honda Pilot offers three rows of seating. The seating configuration provides ample room for passengers and gear without. Customers at Honda Auto Parts Tampa have noted that the seats are particularly comfortable and supportive. Up front, the controls and dash layout is well-organized and features good ergonomics - a quality that all Honda vehicles have become known for.

One of the unique features of the Honda Pilot is its cylinder deactivation system. When the Pilot reaches cruising speeds, it deactivates several cylinders to improve fuel economy. California Honda dealers regularly point out that this helps the Pilot achieve relatively competitive mileage ratings for a vehicle of its size and weight.

The Honda Pilot features plenty features that should appeal to growing families including DVD entertainment systems and wireless headphones. There are other competitive features available as well according to Used Cars Fredericksburg, including satellite navigation, rear-view camera, and power liftgate to improve safety and convenience.

With comfort, interior space, and versatility, the Honda Pilot will be aptly suited for most families that that would prefer the qualities of a car-like minivan combined with the styling of a brawny SUV. The Pilot also offers excellent ground clearance and competitive towing capabilities that make it one of the most well-rounded options in its class.
