  • The Pilot is Honda's midsize SUV. On the outside of the Touring trim you will discover chrome trim, bronze 20in wheels, raised roof rails and side skirt extensions. On the inside you will be greeted by a leather interior and 9in infotainment screen. Under the hood is a 3.5L V6 that is mated to a 10-speed automatic.

      I bought a 2023 Pilot Elite (same color as the one in the video, but with brown interior) back in April right when they first came out, so I've been driving one about 10 months now. I was a little put off that Honda didn't put a bigger screen in it when I was doing research on the vehicle. But honestly, the screen size hasn't been an issue at all. I use it with Google Maps via wireless Android Auto all the time, often with the screen split to show whatever music I'm playing, and can still see everything perfectly fine. I'll take a smaller screen with Honda reliability any day over a Kia with a bigger screen and reliability issues (then having to fight the dealer to get catastrophic engine failures covered...).

    We have a 24 Pilot Touring and it’s a big upgrade to our prior 21 model in a lot of ways. Namely the seats are WAY more comfortable. A couple extra inches in length make a nice difference in cabin room, better engine and transmission, more rugged styling, and slick 2nd row removable/stowable middle seat for nice pass through to the 3rd row. Oh and the panoramic sunroof is nice.

    First, this fellow does the BEST reviews. I’ve had a 2023 Pilot Elite for 7 months. Glad it’s a naturally aspirated 6 (more than enough power). The seats are comfortable. The ride is smooth and quiet. The infotainment screen is large enough for me. The storage, both for small and large stuff, is great. Sure like the huge storage area under the back “cover”. I think any one of the four leaders in this segment (Honda, Toyota, Kia and Hyundai) is great. Just a matter of personal taste.

    • @kevinW826
      @kevinW826 Před 6 měsíci

      There is a manufacturer that makes a true anti theft lock nut. It is designed and engineered to fill out the entire lug nut hole in the wheel and as a result no tool can get around it, plus it has a rounded head or a pointed head like a cone shape so no vice grip can lock onto it.
      If i remember correctly it was demonstrated on by third party individuals who attempted to break them off and they couldn’t because of its design.
      I forget the manufacturer name but they are in the states and designed and engineered in the US. So at least that’s better than most lock nuts.

    This segment is getting really hot, would have hoped Honda would bringing more things on the table though. It is like every brand have their own big problem:
    KIA/Hyundai - Everything including the warranty period is great except you can't find inventory and every dealer around me is asking 4-8K above MSRP.
    Toyota - Grand Highlander is great, but inventory is lacking, and some around just went straight to TX.
    Mazda - Good car, but internal space is the same as highlander which is a smaller car! People usually buy this segment for space more than performance.
    Ford - Wish they can at least try to bring the Europe spec explorer for test since that one is full EV and shall be a better buy than Model Y.
    GM - Everything is nice on paper and problem is that is problem - no production vehicles out yet. Other sources did mention GM is really generous on their standard equipment.
    VW - Minor tech system issues that will just annoy you and not sure the price on maintenance upkeep since it is a German car.
    Alost everyone misses the hybrid option except Toyota, then again - after Nissan and Ford pulled their hybrid option out from production vehicles then I have my doubt on other brand's hybrid setup.

    Great video, but. . . you tease the subscriber to believe that you'd answer the question. . . which is the better mid-size 3-row SUV. Unless I missed something, you didn't answer the question, but, instead, asked the viewer to add their opinions to the comments section. I'm interested, what is YOUR opinion between the two?
    I drove both. The Kia is loaded with technology that may or may not last in the long-term. The SUV will be for my wife and the interface isn't all that intuitive on the Telluride. It's more of a distraction. The buttons, etc. look and feel cheap in the Telluride. If you turn your cars over like some people do with the latest Nike shoes, then get yourself a Kia. It's got a lot of shiny objects.
    The Pilot, IMO, is the better value. Plus, Honda dealers are starting to deal. We're considering closing a deal today on an EX-L AWD for thousands below MSRP. That ain't going to happen w/a Telluride. We'll likely keep this SUV 10 or more yrs with my wife racking up only about 6k miles per year. Reliability with the Honda is > than Kia, IMO, and my experience. We've owned Honda and Hyundai, (same manufacturer as Kia), and the Honda wins in that department hands down.

    Where Honda's shine is quality and attention to detail on the chassis and body/interior (more than Toyota). They do their best to make sure even parts you don't see don't rust. I just wish they would remove the cylinder deactivation of their V6's for meeting emissions. That ruined V6 engines that would otherwise be bulletproof. In that case you're better off with a Toyota with a hybrid non-turbo 4 cylinder. Please Honda, get rid of the V6 cylinder deactivation.

    You say the left side exhaust is non-functional, yet when you started it up, smoke and water comes out that side. Both sides are functional. I traded in my 2023 Kia Telluride EX for a 2024 Honda Pilot Elite. Just too many quirky things with the Kia that I didn't like compared to the Pilot. I think the driver interface on the Pilot is more intuitive than the Kia. Features-wise, if you compare the top trim levels on both, they are pretty close to the same. I should also mention that reliability was also a concern. I had 3 recalls on my Kia in the first 6 months of ownership, and the rear passenger door would not open from inside due to linkage that was not connected in the factory. How did it pass QC that way?

Ride, handling, safety, braking, MPG, engine smoothness, reliability, noise levels, seat comfort, cargo space, etc are all much more important.

Toyota has forward camera, heated and ventilated seats, third row privacy screen included as well as 12 inch infotainment screen. Now in 2024, I give Honda the nod for not going four cylinder turbo, but Toyota Hybrid with its E tranny will be our next suv.

In contrast, the Pilot blends in with other SUVs in parking lots. Furthermore, the Telluride boasts more advanced technology than the Pilot.

    I honestly don't care if my exterior front vent opening on a family hauler is fake or not. I do care if a $50K doesn't have adaptive cruise control, 360 parking monitoring, and quality internal screens and controls.
