Engine, Transmission, and Mileage
Under the hood, the new, more efficient powertrain is a dream. The Earth Dreams 280-horsepower 3.5L V6 engine has 262 lb-ft of torque and 5,000 lbs of towing ability. All the while, it accelerates swiftly and delivers impressive fuel efficiency. This V6 is mated to one of two all-new transmissions. The new 6-speed automatic transmission achieves up to 19/27 mpg*. The new 9-speed automatic transmission with Shift by Wire and Paddle Shifters get up to 20/27 mpg*. Add in available Intelligent Traction Management with all-new All-Wheel Drive system, and this Pilot handles better than ever before.
Honda Sensing Safety Suite
Take care of your family with the most advanced safety technologies available. The 2016 Honda Pilot offers the suite of driver-assistive systems called Honda Sensing. Honda Sensing includes Collision Mitigation Braking System, which helps the SUV stop if a collision is unavoidable, Road Departure Mitigation System, which uses a small camera to identify lane markers and alerts the driver if the SUV is drifting, and Forward Collision Warning, which alerts the driver if there is a risk of a collision. Other technologies include Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keeping Assist System, Adaptive Cruise Control, Honda LaneWatch, and Blind Spot Information System with Cross Traffic Monitor. Add a Multi-Angle Rearview Camera with Dynamic Guidelines, and you’ll never have more tools to drive safely.
Cool New Features
The redesigned 2016 Pilot includes many standard and available features offered for the first time. Idle Stop turns the engine off when the vehicle is stopped for maximum fuel efficiency. Warm up or cool down the vehicle from afar with Remote Engine Start. Heated and Ventilated Front Seats adjust to the occupant’s preferred temperature. Load groceries hands-free with the Power Tailgate, and let everyone enjoy the sky with the Panoramic Moonroof. Watch either DVDs or Blu-Rays on a brilliant 9-inch screen with the Rear Entertainment System. Control everything using an 8-inch touchscreen display.
