2025 Honda Pilot Trim Levels

As a midsize, three-row SUV, the Honda Pilot has become a fan favorite among families, and the latest model promises plenty of exciting updates. While the entry-level LX trim has been retired, the Sport trim more than makes up the difference as the new base model in the lineup.

With six distinct trims to choose from, you’ll have no problem finding the perfect Pilot. In this guide, we’ll explore the unique features, performance options, and pricing across the different 2025 Honda Pilot trim levels to help you find your next vehicle at Parkway Honda.

Overview of the 2025 Honda Pilot

Powered by a 285 hp 3.5-liter V-6 engine paired with a smooth 10-speed automatic transmission, the Pilot provides responsive handling and confident braking. While front-wheel drive is standard, the available all-wheel drive (AWD) performs excellently on tougher terrains. The new Pilot accommodates up to eight passengers across three rows. Second-row captain’s chairs are available for added luxury, while trims such as the Touring and Elite feature a removable center seat for greater versatility. Cargo space is generous, with enough room for six carry-ons even with all seats in use.

The standard infotainment system comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. The base model starts with a 7-inch display, but higher trims unlock a larger 9-inch display. The Pilot also has Honda Sensing, a suite of advanced safety features such as adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and automatic emergency braking, ensuring peace of mind for every journey.
