2013 Honda Pilot Sport Utility
Summary
Provided by NADAguides.com
Largely unchanged for 2013, the Honda Pilot is a mid-size SUV with seating for eight. The Pilot is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces 250 hp and 253 lb-ft of torque. Both FWD and optional 4WD drivetrains are paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission to enable the Pilot to achieve an EPA estimated 18 mpg city and 25 mpg highway. Available features include power tailgate, lift-up glass hatch, intelligent multi-information display, integrated sun shades, navigation with voice recognition, tri-zone automatic climate control, rear entertainment system, USB audio interface, rearview camera, hands-free phone capabilities, and 60/40 flat folding 2nd/3rd row seats. Safety is comprised of an advanced airbags system, anti-lock braking (ABS), electronic brake distribution (EBD), vehicle stability assist (VSA), traction control (TCS), and tire pressure monitoring (TPMS). The Pilot is backed by a 3-year, 36,000-mile warranty.
Benefits of Driving a 2013 Honda Pilot Sport Utility
The Pilot is boxy crossover utility vehicle that's focused around interior passenger space--with three roomy rows of seating--yet it also incorporates just a bit of the ruggedness of traditional SUVs. The Pilot's upright body makes it one of the most useful and versatile in this size class--versus models like the Toyota Highlander, Ford Explorer and Nissan Pathfinder--because its rather low cargo floor and flat-folding seats allow easy loading or combinations of people and gear.
What's new for 2013?
Honda has made Bluetooth HandsFreeLink connectivity a standard feature on all Pilot models for 2013, along with a USB port, a new high-resolution eight-inch Multi-Information Display (i-MID) and a backup camera system. Automatic climate control is also now included at all trim levels.

- styling that goes against the grain
Model Review
The 2013 Honda Pilot is offered in four different trim levels--LX, EX, EX-L and Touring. The key difference between these models is the range of convenience features and luxury appointments offered; across the entire lineup, powertrain offerings are essentially the same, with front-wheel-drive or 4-wheel-drive variants of each model.
