2024 Honda Pilot Elite - Is This The Trim Level That HAS IT ALL?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 янв 2024
- The Honda Pilot received a full redesign for the 2023 model year. This redesign brought about many significant changes based on trim level. The base price for the Elite trim is $52,480. The Pilot is best described as offering plenty of space within the first and second rows for driver and passengers, ample space for cargo in addition to areas for storing small items, and easy-to-learn and use controls and technology. In addition to these features the Pilot Elite has a lot more to offer but does that make it the trim level that has it all? Find out in today’s Vehicle Visionary video!

I have the new Honda pilot elite white exterior/brown interior and actually did a road trip from Colorado, USA to Alberta, Canada! These are my personal thoughts: larger screen would be nice especially compared to other vehicles in it’s class plus it would modernize the overall look that much more, the infotainment system also needs an upgrade from the outdated graphics with primary colours, Bose sound system is top notch, drives smooth and the lane keep assist is very accurate and useful, snow mode noticeably helps the vehicle stick to the road in icy and snowy conditions (I used it a lot on my road trip), wish the Elite came with the steel skid plate that the trail sport has, love the storage with all the seats down (I fit more in the pilot than the bed of an enclosed pickup), ventilated seats work but the fan for them is quite noisy and same with when the rear climate controls are on it gets noisy, the piano black accents aren’t the greatest but because there is only a little I didn’t find it got too fingerprint-y, fuel economy is decent for the size and I’ve been getting a solid average of 9.6L/100km. I LOVE the new pilot and it does everything I need with the features it has. It’s no 4Runner, but I think it is more than capable to handle slight off-roading and I intend to install a rooftop tent and steel skid plate this spring and do a lot more off road exploring in it. All that being said, I’ve had one issue that I had to bring my pilot in for. The leather on the pax front seat was wrinkled and looked loose since I picked it up from the dealership. Turns out the foam in the seat wasn’t thick enough to fill the seat in completely causing the wrinkling. They are ordering new foam now and I’m waiting on install. Easy fix but not sure if that will be a common occurrence in the seats.
Thank you for this review! I’m getting mine soon and I’m in Colorado moving to Texas in two weeks. I plan on driving and towing along my Uhaul.
Is it comfortable to sit in for 12 hour drive?
@@JenniferBellamente oh that’s exciting!! Congrats! I find the pilot very comfortable on long drives. The seats have adjustable lumbar support which makes a difference for sure!
Thank you for the review on this! And also, i loved how u showed us the lighting in the garage.
I love the pilot from two generations ago. Hated the last one. Love this one. Probably my favorite 3 row right now.
Tom,
The 2024 Honda Pilot, 4th Generation, is a winner! I love the aggressive good looks, the new engine & transmission are just the right amount of power, and the all the usable space is perfect. Safety ratings are excellent, and Honda Sensing features are spot on! I always enjoy your reviews, they are always chalked full of great information and loaded with lots of content. Thanks for sharing!
Nice review keep up the good work
I just bought the Touring, in crystal black, last weekend, and love it
Good luck keeping out the swirls...but black is beautiful new
If I went with the new Pilot, this would be the color combination I would choose. We have test driven this new Pilot already and it was our favorite 3 row non luxury SUV as far as driving dynamics go. The only things I wish Honda would add would be 3rd row sunshades like you can get in the upper trim Odyssey and I would like them to get rid of all piano black.
We just bought a black Pilot elite and it is everything you described and more.
Great choice! Congratulations on your purchase.
Curious about the windshield feature, i believe i heard that it may actually have the speedometer on it@VehicleVisionary

I have the Elite model as well. Definitely a nice vehicle! I love the space inside of it.
nice video bigger screen and ambient lighting would be nice
Very nice SUV with the new black and brown interior. Size for the screen: 12.3” like the Honda sedan!
Just purchased the Elite. Well equipped. Would have liked to have walk up lighting feature and driver identification mode on infotainment screen. When driver and passenger enter auto with 2 keys, it selects driver one, confusing at first. Otherwise very nice,
We picked up a 24 Touring.
The transmission was a little clunky when we first got it, but that seems to have smoothed itself out a couple thousand miles in.
The gas mileage isn't great coming from 4 cylinder CUV and sedan, but I'm loving the extra power. Curious what the turbo 6 in the MDX Type S feels like now.
The infotainment did seem small at first glance, but the taller aspect ratio gives it a larger feel than some wider screens.
Wireless charging maintains battery level rather than actually top it off but this seems to be a common problem of most cars so I just disable it.
In hindsight, I wouldn't mind having the extra camera options of the Elite, as well as an interior camera to see the kiddos (the conversation mirror is too small). Maybe I'll install the heated steering wheel down the road. Also, I wish there a panel of some sort to cover up the hooks on the floor when the middle 2nd row seat is removed.
Otherwise, loving it so far. It drives smooth and feels light despite its size. I admit the panoramic sunroof, lane assist, adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, safety sensors, ambient interior lighting, hands-free tailgate, and Bose sound system are all nice features to have despite me thinking they were unnecessary. The grey interior is also a nice change of pace from the usual black.
Just got one with all black interior in the Touring. That brown/black is sexy!!
Insane vehicle dude.
I was glad the screen wasn't any bigger in my case. I think 9 inches is plenty! I often have long items that will stretch out to the dash and am glad to have some clearance to the right of the screen for dash usage. Love having a non turbo or hybrid car. Just a good old 6 cyclinder is welcome before they do away with that! Love the size of the car. The only thing I wish I could have had was a tailgate glass that opened separately from the main door. Good job, Honda!
New sub here and this will be my first vehicle.
What is the empty option slot for next to the traction control button to the left of the steering wheel?
I have a 2024 Honda Pilot Elite. I love everything about it, but do miss a steering wheel mute button for the sound system and max air conditioning for quick cooling in the hot southern months.
You'd think the 'elite' model would not have Edison bulbs for turn signals.
I was thinking the exact same thing 😑
Damn shame
@@Twisty805Exactly and fake exhaust tips, come on Honda its 2024!!!
@@lawdog516 for realz 😂, it does look nice and all, but yeah I feel you on that one too. I still do want one, but with the 30% increase in price due to inflation that’s crazy!!! That’s an extra $16,000 plus!!!
@@Twisty805 The Pilot Elite has not been $38,000 in the last ten years!!
I could care less they are behind me
Very Nice
Does this vehicle Tom come with a transmission cooler because it can tow 5k lbs
Nice 👍
They have to be careful and not get into Acura territory.
The fact that it has fake exhaust tips, lacks full LED tail lights, and has that tiny screen, really is a killer. I mean I think the Civic and Accord have bigger screens! Honda needs to refresh this vehicle as soon as possible.
Do this model come in Hybrid?
Great timing Tom, shopping Pilot Trailsport or Elite. I feel added costs not a great value. Trailsport will probably win out. Honda should have included walk away with TS.
Let me know what you decide on. Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave a comment!
Get the Trailsport
I wonder why no USB ports inside the front center console 🤔
Hoping the redesign 2025 Passport resembles this. Don't need 3 rows and full length but like everything else. Keeping my fingers crossed. 🤞
When does the 2025 passport come out?
Hi Tom You Make Great Video Can You Make A Review On The 2023 Ford Bronco
Big Bend
I will as soon as I can get over to the Ford dealership.
I want arm rests on the 2nd row
Well said my own personal experience as opposed to wbo knows best
need a performance version that tows 7k and 0-6 in the 5''s
Warning Honda Fraud! I purchased a 2023 Pilot Trailsport with the factory tow hitch, the day I planned on using it, I realized it was missing the trailer wiring harness! 😡
Great review! Specially the dark side …
Road trip with a Honda?, you are a very brave person.
😂
Fuck u! is not a crappy hyundai
🛑i-VTEC is missing🛑
I know with the cVTC THE emissions lowered by 40% but still
I don’t like the push button shift. I wish it was a stick type.
I love this vehicle, just not honestly a fan of the brown interior 🥴😬🫨
You can get black or grey interior.
Looks great wish it had more power... 300 hp
Having the 9" screen and that dull navigation system compared to the Accord is baffling.
and the shifter :/
❤❤❤
The screen issue seems overblown. Yes it would be nice if it would be bigger but I can think of a lot of things that matter more. For instance ride, handling, safety, reliability, acceleration, cargo space, seat comfort, looks, fuel economy, engine smoothness, are all bigger factors for me.

for those who purchased the 2024 Pilot are dealers discounting the MSRP?
The March incentives just came out and are better than the February ones. Honda is offering about 4K-5K off the Elite & Touring models, but this is the last of them. My understanding is they are starting to deliver the 2025 models soon.
@billstovall3813 thanks for the reply, didn't the 2024 just come out?
Does it come in hybrid ?
No
No hybrid
love Honda Pilot Elites. That brown though, not my style.
$55k?😮
It doesn't have it all. It doesn't have a towing package included as standard equipment. You need to purchase the TrailSport edition to get the towing package as standard equipment.
the front looks ok but the back is just meh
Hate big screens. Main reason the Subaru is ugly to me. Who doesn't have nobs for heat control... I absolutely hate touchscreen functionality on every car. Always so slow.
Less screen the better.
No entertainment system dvd blue Ray? My kids don’t like.
Great review. Very concise. I traded in my 2023 Kia Telluride EX for the 2024 Honda Pilot Elite. I am not regretting it at all. I owned a 2015 Honda Pilot Touring edition before the Kia. For me, the Kia was just to quirky and in the 14 months I owned it, I had 3 recalls and one warranty fix. Even when you compare the Telluride SX X-Line trim level, there's almost nothing that Honda doesn't have compared to the Telluride, and there's a lot of features it has that Kia lacks. The driver interface is much better, IMO. It's more intuitive to access features. More storage in the doors and cubbies on the Pilot. I do wish the Pilot's display was a bit larger and tilted toward the driver. In that respect, the Kia wins. The Pilot's towing package is standard on the Trailsport trim, but you can get it installed on any other Pilot model. It took the dealer about 4 hours to install mine.
53...,no
My wife has a near new CRV Touring that has been bullet proof but a tad small for anything but local errands. I am a big guy (6’3”) and I have a GMC Yukon Denali so we use that for trips and my stuff. We are not young and I decided to replace the CRV with an intermediate size SUV for ease of entry and egress. I am a car nut so been through Kia Telluride( best rated intermediate size SUV) Hyundai Pallisade) both loaded with the most options in premium levels and rather luxurious… Lincoln Aviator ( wonderful space and luxury but circa $70,000)… Qudi Q7 also pricey, GMC Acadia … roomy and well appointed, Jeep Grand Cherokee… higher trims are quite nice and roomy enough but for you are spending a large part of purchase price for Jeep’s off-road capabilities( we don’t do that). Most of these brands price out similarly for loaded trims at mid $50’s. Some of these 2025 brands are looking at decent changes and upgrades so I will sit on the fence for a while until we
move past the current Bidenflation. Great review incidentally and I don’t care for any nav’ screen much under 12in. these days. Bigger screens are much easier to use safely while driving and easier on old eyes.
Honda has lost me as a buyer because of the way they treated customers who purchased that 1.5L dog of an engine. I lost thousands because of that engine and Honda could have cared less.
Nothing but problems especially with transmission
no sources
@@JohnBH2322 I own two of them and they both have the same problem
Interrior light is garbage
Wow. This looks so generic and kind of boring.
Too much plastic materials and not enough leather will go for the luxury vehicles like BMW x7 or the Mercedes Benz GLS 450 yes more expensive but worth it for what you get
Reliability is unmatched 😂,
Those two vehicles you listed are junk. At least the Pilot won’t die on you after 36k miles.
If you like crap reliability and expensive repairs then sure.
Mercedes or BMW 😂? There really are people who like to waste money huh? I don’t know if it’s stupidity or ignorance, but keep doing you 👍.
I see what you mean, car prices are just not good right now. Economy brands are selling for luxury prices.
