How the 2018 Honda Pilot Stands Against Competitors

May 7, 2018

When you’re shopping in the three-row crossover SUV segment, one model stands apart from the rest. The 2018 Honda Pilot is one of the top choices for shoppers who want extra seating, leading performance, and comfort features.

Power and Performance

Many of the competitors in the midsize crossover segment have four-cylinder engines beneath their hoods, so power is an area in which the Pilot excels. Every model boasts a capable 3.5-liter V-6 that pumps out 262 pound-feet of torque and 280 horsepower. The engine pairs with a six-speed automatic transmission that delivers smooth shifting for a more comfortable ride.

Traction Management

Something else that sets the 2018 Honda Pilot apart from its competitors is the available traction management system. Some midsize crossovers are available with all-wheel drive, but very few have a traction management system. The EX trim level and above come standard with Honda’s intelligent traction management, which has snow, sand, and mud modes with all-wheel drive or snow mode with front-wheel drive.

Tech and Safety

The Pilot also beats out other models in terms of safety and tech features. On the safety side, every model comes with a rearview camera, while the available Honda Sensing package adds forward collision warning and braking, adaptive cruise control, and lane departure warning and intervention. If you’re transporting your family, you can also add a rear-seat entertainment system.
