Overview
The Honda Pilot is
among an elite group of sport utility vehicles that helped elevate the
"crossover" segment in the last decade by introducing a combination of smooth
ride comfort, accommodating interior packaging and overall efficiency that
traditional SUVs lacked. The Pilot's unit body construction and fully
independent suspension helped transform the SUV segment by enhancing ride
quality, earning top crash safety ratings, creating more interior space and
increasing fuel efficiency. The original Pilot provided a recipe for success
with features eventually imitated by the competition like a standard third row
seat, decision-free four-wheel drive and an easy-to-configure
interior.
The second generation of the Honda Pilot seeks to improve on
the popular Honda SUV formula by adding more SUV-rugged aesthetics, more on-road
refinement and enhancing interior functionality. Designed around the concept of
an "intelligent adventure vehicle" with the practical needs of a family in mind,
the eight-passenger Pilot provides bolder SUV styling, more clever and more
accommodating interior packaging and advanced technologies for safety, fuel
efficiency and convenience.
