The Honda Pilot is the company’s midsize crossover and, while it’s not the biggest SUV on the market, it’s big enough to fit eight passengers in three rows of seats. Honda has made some important changes to the Pilot for the 2019 year, and between these and the Pilot’s already excellent features, there are plenty of reasons to test drive a new Pilot.

  1. Honda Sensing

For 2019, Honda has added the Honda Sensing suite to every trim level of the Pilot. This means every model comes with the Collision Mitigation Braking System, the Road Departure Mitigation System, the Lane Keeping Assist System, and Adaptive Cruise Control.

  1. The Nine-Speed Automatic

The other big update for the 2019 model year is the new automatic transmission. The update brings the gear count up from six to nine and these extra gears make acceleration both smoother and more efficient. Of course, the best way to experience this new transmission is to feel it at work while you’re in the driver’s seat.

  1. The Smooth Ride

The 2019 Honda Pilot is a family vehicle and because of that it comes with a comfortable suspension that absorbs all but the biggest bumps in the road. At the same time, the Pilot is also an SUV with available all-wheel drive and it can handle itself just fine on dirt and gravel roads.

If you’re in the market for a midsize SUV, schedule a test drive with your local Honda dealership today. You’ll quickly find out what makes it one of the best SUVs available.
