This offers a pretty decent package for the price. Plus you get honda’s legendary reliability and resale. Unlike Toyota, they actually stuck with their guns and still offer a N/A V6. Honda (and Mazda) are always are the most “fun” to drive in the non-luxury segment too, as an added bonus.

The Rolls Royce….. of Hondas 😂. I love it!

Nice video Ben

Ben hopefully the new Ridgeline will get a little better refresh!!!

The beep and function not available is just the head unit blocking out some stuff once you start moving. Once in motion you can’t type stuff in navigation, but you can use voice commands.

3.5 liter V6 goodness to be more accurate the commercials here seem to be very intensely placed very unusal but then again it's not usual to be loved by one Tom Jones 1965

Does the Black Edition get a digital rearview mirror Ben ?

Thanks for the review. You have to clean to ride before the review though...picky? Yep. Presentation is everything.

Waiting to see what they did with the ‘25 Passport.

love the pilot

is Elite equipped with HUD? so by standard the 2025 doesn't have Tire Pressure monitoring system?

The 2025 Honda Pilot needs a larger and relocated info screen like the 2024 GMC Acadia or 2025 Subaru vehicles. I personally prefer chrome trim and polished aluminum wheels on my ride. I owned the first generation Pilot. I still own the second generation Pilot 2015. I skipped buying the third generations Pilot because it was basically a minivan pretending to be an SUV. The Fourth Generation Pilot is an improvement but is lagging behind other OEM’s when it comes to informatics and driver displays. The Driver Display does not seem to have different styling options and the center screen is way too small! The V6 Non Turbo is a definite plus with surround cameras and a second row bench seating would make this and ideal vehicle for my family. If someone at Honda is listening just upgrade the drive display to a more traditional look, enlarge the center informatics screen, and replace the push button gear shifter with a more traditional on and your sales would increase. IMHO.

I like Hondas but that sticking screen on dash with volume knob, wow, ruins everything... it's display why place knob on it? lol, put knobs and buttons somewhere bellow together let the screen being visual display clean and sleek, it's like zero designing esthetics 2005s had it better

Blindfolded and sitting shotgun, can you tell this apart from a Ridgeline?

Worth noting that the current Ridgeline even with its updated interior still is considered to be a “last generation” honda product (along with the passport). Refinement and sound deadening are supposedly better in the new gen Pilot. The last gen 3.5 V6 was Vtec and an absolute screamer and the 9 speed ZF was pretty smooth like 90% of the time. The new 3.5 non-vtec and 10 speed auto are supposed to be buttery smooth. But eyes closed riding in both, you probably couldnt tell much of a difference.

Probably not, especially if a guy was sitting behind you with a shotgun and you're taken for a drive into the desert.

Nice SUV but I hate that everyone is sticking iPads on their dashboards. BTW, Ben, whatever happened to the Ram Dakota pick up? That truck was supposed to be out three years ago. SMH.🤦🏻‍♂️

@@BenHardyCars yes but it really is a shame. Everyone else is doing great with midsize trucks and Dodge did away with the V8 and replaced it with a six cylinder and EV. SMH I’m glad I picked up on a low mileage 2018 Ram Sport last year instead of waiting.

Long live the J Series!

Just needs hands free driving and infrared pedestrian/animal detection and it would be perfect.

Great price compared to the $40k accord hybrid

So the 2025 pilot doesn’t have just the 2 rows it’s only a 3 row? I thought the 2025 would come with a 2 row to just like the 2024

How in 2025 does an SUV not have 3rd row power folding seats, rear view digital mirror, massaging seats and a bigger screen.

@Ziakel

Ай бұрын

It’s not a luxury SUV and even Acura doesn’t have massaging seats on MDX with advance package. Honda dropped the ball hard when they put the 9” screen on Pilot while the new Accord has 12.3”. When reversing with 360 cam, the screen size really shows the limitations.

Rolls royce of Hondas gets a 9 inch screen while Accord gets a 12 inch. Give me a break.

What in the world do people need such massive screens for while driving? They should be focusing on the road and on their driving and the screen should be secondary (tertiary) to the task of driving. It's a distraction. If a big screen is the goal, then people should stay home in front of their TV.

Serious question, why do you need a bigger screen? I have the 2024 Honda Pilot Touring and when I drive what I see the least is the screen, the only thing I am interested in seeing is the road and before starting to drive I adjust all the functions, and at night a small screen is much better for driving.

The elite comes with a 10.2 inch screen

Not interested in elite Hondas. I prefer a 1988 civic with a manual transmission and hand controlled windows. Cheers!

You talk waaaaaaaaaaaaay too fast.

Insulting Rolls Royce. More like the X3 of Hondas.

The only thing Elie about this Honda is how much gas it consumes!!! No thank you! I rather drive my Toyota Prius. 57MPG HWY whohoooo!!

Pretty bad review. You missed so much stuff. You sound like you don't know what you are talking about. Sorry but there are many more informative reviews.
