The 2012 Honda Pilot is a competent
offering in the crossover segment, but that doesn't mean there isn't
room for improvement. So for 2012, Honda has made some minor changes to
the Pilot both inside and out. The Pilot also now delivers the highest
EPA fuel economy available in a three-row, eight-passenger vehicle.
Front-wheel-drive Pilots achieve 25 mpg on the highway, 2 mpg more than
the previous model thanks mainly to improved aerodynamics and slight
updates to the Pilot's 3.5-liter V-6 and five-speed automatic
powertrain.
The biggest exterior change to the new Pilot is an updated front end
that lends it a more luxurious look. All Pilots receive a more refined
interior, plus more tech and entertainment goodies. Previously exclusive
to the Pilot EX-L with Navigation and above models, the EX now comes
standard with audio system upgrades, including a 2 GB CD-Library and
Bluetooth audio streaming. For 2012, EX-L models come with Honda's new
intelligent Multi-Information Display (i-MID) that includes backup
camera display, while EX-L models with navigation receive an upgraded
nav system with higher resolution and a 60 GB hard drive complete with
XM real-time traffic updates.
Cargo capacity is one of the Pilot's strong suits, with plenty of
storage options and impressive interior volume. As has been the case
since launch, all Pilot trim levels are offered in either front-wheel
drive or all-wheel drive configuration.
