The Honda Pilot is one of the most popular three-row SUVs available in the greater Stamford area and the 2025 entry into the model heritage only enhances its appeal. If you're in the market for a spacious SUV that has plenty of features, the Honda Pilot should be at the top of your list. Here are some things buyers should know about the 2025 Honda Pilot.
Traditional SUV Design with an Off-Road Edge
With competing SUV manufacturers drifting into some uniquely futuristic designs, the Honda Pilot is appealing to folks who'd prefer that an SUV just look like an SUV. It has a slightly aerodynamic design and a sporty front end. Likewise, the Honda Pilot includes plenty of lower cladding for the bumpers and bottom panels. Sturdy roof rails also let you know that the Pilot is ready for off-road activities. The overall effect is that the Honda Pilot looks sharp enough for the road and prepared enough to go off the beaten path.
The standard engine across the entire Honda Pilot lineup is a 285-horsepower system. Front and all-wheel drive options are available for the Honda Pilot. The FWD has a towing rating of up to 3,500 pounds, and the AWD has a towing rating of up to 5,000 pounds.
The Honda Pilot is a people hauler first and foremost. It can carry up to eight occupants, and there is plenty of legroom for everyone. Fold-down rear seating also allows you to trade passenger space for cargo room, making it perfect for running errands around Bridgeport or an afternoon of “retail therapy” in nearby Norwalk.
Intriguing Trims
With six available trims, the Honda Pilot is one of the more customizable SUVs for Fairfield area buyers. The Honda Pilot Sport is the base package for first-time Honda shoppers and the upgrade options get exciting quickly with the Honda Pilot EX-L. The Honda EX-L adds leather upholstery, heated, and power-adjustable front seats, and a power tailgate. It also comes with a wireless device charging pad.
If you want a more convenient upgrade, the Honda Pilot Touring provides hands-free operation for the power tailgate. It also adds a twelve-speaker Bose audio system, navigation, and a Wi-Fi hotspot.
The top luxury trim is the Honda Pilot Elite. It adds solid tech features like a heads-up display, multi-zone audio, and a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster. There is also heating for the second seating row, and the door trim includes LED lighting.
An intriguing take on the Honda Pilot Elite is the Honda Pilot Elite Black Edition. It includes 20-inch gloss black wheels and a blackout exterior trim package. There is also red ambient interior lighting and red accent stitching for the black leather upholstery.
Last but not least is the Honda Pilot Trailsport, which is an off-road oriented trim. With all-terrain tires and the TrailWatch off-road camera, the Honda Pilot Trailsport makes maneuvering in difficult terrain a breeze.
What's New in 2025?
The Honda Pilot is currently in its fourth generation. The company introduced the fourth generation Pilot in 2023 so the 2025 model represents the third year for this model. The Honda Pilot Black Edition trim is the only major addition for the 2025 model year.
