Design
A Bold Presence
One's first glance of the 2023 Honda Pilot will prove it distinct from its predecessors, with a boxier appearance and truck-inspired styling. Rugged is the name of the game for this Honda favorite, showcasing a bold front end with a hexagon-mesh grille and show-stopping LED lighting elements to hold you in its stare.

Durable and ready for anything, the exterior of this Honda SUV shows its confidence that it can handle whatever your journey tosses its way.
A Convenient Interior
Inside, the 2023 Honda Pilot is both gorgeous and functional, offering the best of both worlds to drivers everywhere. Its leather-trimmed cabin sets the scene, enveloping you in comfortable luxury, while second-row captain's chairs allow some of your passengers to experience this exhilarating ride just as you do. Perhaps the most appreciated aspect of the 2023 Pilot's interior is its convenience features, designed to cater to a variety of different travel scenarios. The new second-row stowable seat allows you to hide the center seat to make room for gear or bulky items, and then reinstall it to accommodate an extra passenger. One-touch second-row seating makes it a breeze to access the back seats. With just the simple push of a button, the second-row seats glide forward automatically, so even your little ones can access the third row without assistance—a perfect feature for families on the go.
In addition to providing enough room for all your passengers, there's a generous amount of trunk space for everything coming with you on the journey. With 111.8 cu.ft. for cargo, you're equipped to handle virtually any mission, from transporting science projects to camping equipment, sports gear, groceries, luggage, and more. Hidden storage below the cargo floor helps you find space for even more oversized items, while an array of storage compartments located throughout the cabin make it easy to have a place for everything to help you stay organized on the road. Plus, with a hands-free power tailgate available, all you need to do is kick your foot underneath the bumper and your Pilot will provide access to its cargo hold, making it the ideal travel companion for busy families.
