2026 Honda Pilot: Redesigned for the Long Haul

Family life doesn't slow down, and the 2026 Honda Pilot doesn't either. With room for up to eight, cargo space that flexes around whatever you throw at it, confident all-wheel drive, and a V6 that actually has some muscle behind it, this midsize SUV is built for the chaos of a Tuesday carpool and the freedom of a weekend getaway alike.

V6 Power for Everyday Adventures

Every 2026 Honda Pilot comes equipped with a 3.5-litre, 24-valve V6 engine producing up to 285 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. It is paired with a smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission that can operate automatically or through steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters. Honda’s Variable Cylinder Management system can switch between six and three cylinders depending on driving conditions. This helps the Pilot balance strong performance with greater fuel efficiency during lighter driving situations. Combined fuel consumption varies by trim, with ratings ranging from approximately 11.0 to 11.8 L/100 km.

Drive Modes for Changing Conditions

Canadian roads can change quickly, which is why the Pilot offers several selectable drive modes. Drivers can choose from Normal, ECON, Snow, Sport, Tow, and available Trail and Sand modes. Each setting adjusts vehicle responses to better suit the road or terrain. Snow mode can support greater confidence during winter driving, while Tow mode prepares the powertrain for heavier loads. Trail and Sand modes add extra versatility for drivers planning more adventurous trips. The available second-generation i-VTM4 all-wheel-drive system is engineered to distribute torque between the front and rear wheels, as well as between the rear wheels, to improve traction and handling.

Towing Strength When You Need It

When properly equipped, the 2026 Honda Pilot can tow up to 5,000 pounds. That gives families the flexibility to bring along a small travel trailer, boat, utility trailer, or other recreational equipment. The Pilot’s V6 power, 10-speed transmission, available AWD system, and dedicated Tow mode work together to create a more controlled towing experience.

Flexible Seating and Cargo Space

Depending on the selected trim, the Honda Pilot provides seating for seven or eight passengers. Its flat-folding second- and third-row seats make it easy to adjust the interior for passengers, cargo, or a combination of both. Available features such as an on-demand removable second-row middle seat and in-trunk seat storage provide even more flexibility. A height-programmable power tailgate makes loading easier, while available hands-free access is especially useful when your hands are full.

A 12.3-Inch Connected Cabin

The standard 12.3-inch touchscreen places entertainment, vehicle settings, and connectivity features within easy reach. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto allow compatible smartphones to connect for music, messages, maps, and calls. An available 12-speaker Bose premium audio system, CabinTalk, a digital instrument display, and an available multi-view camera system add further comfort and convenience.

Honda Sensing Comes Standard

Every 2026 Honda Pilot includes Honda Sensing technologies. Features include Collision Mitigation Braking, Lane Keeping Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow, Road Departure Mitigation, Traffic Sign Recognition, and a Driver Attention Monitor. Available Blind Spot Information, Cross Traffic Monitor, and Low-Speed Braking Control provide additional support in traffic and parking situations.
