Trim Comparison

Honda Pilot Trim Levels: What’s the Difference?

The 2026 Honda Pilot lineup gives drivers seven trims to choose from: Sport, EX-L, TrailSport, Touring, Touring Blackout, Elite, and Black Edition. Each one builds on the last, offering more comfort, capability, or style depending on what you need.

Performance & Capability

Performance & Capability

Every Pilot comes with a strong V6 engine that delivers confident acceleration and smooth highway cruising. Many shoppers specifically look for a Honda Pilot AWD for sale, especially here in Minnesota, where snow and ice are part of the deal. Honda’s i-VTM4 AWD system is one of the most confidence-inspiring setups in the segment, automatically shifting power where it’s needed most.¹

If towing matters, the Honda Pilot towing capacity and cargo space numbers are impressive:

• Towing Capacity: Up to 5,000 lbs with AWD when properly equipped²
• Cargo Space: Up to 113.7 cu. ft. with seats folded, depending on trim¹

Whether you’re hauling a small camper, snowmobiles, or sports gear, the Pilot handles it with ease.

Interior & Safety

Interior Comfort, Tech & Safety

Step inside the Pilot and you’ll see why so many families ask, “Is the Honda Pilot a good family SUV?” Absolutely. The cabin is spacious, quiet, and thoughtfully designed. Depending on the trim, you’ll find leather-trimmed seating, heated and ventilated front seats, tri-zone climate control, a panoramic moonroof, and smart storage solutions throughout. The Pilot’s third row is genuinely usable — not just for kids — which is something not every competitor can claim.¹

Every Pilot includes Honda Sensing, giving you advanced safety features right from the start:

• Collision Mitigation Braking
• Road Departure Mitigation
• Adaptive Cruise Control
• Lane Keeping Assist
• Traffic Sign Recognition

Higher trims add even more tech, including a Head-Up Display, Bose premium audio, hands-free power tailgate, and built-in navigation.¹
