2026 Honda Pilot

The 2026 Honda Pilot has returned with a bold new face and a tech-heavy refresh, solidifying its place as the ultimate three-row fortress for Metro Detroit families. As your premier Honda destination at Jeffrey Honda—located on Gratiot Avenue in Roseville, serving the entire region from St. Clair Shores to Grosse Pointe—we know that Michigan winters and weekend hauls to the lake require an SUV with real grit. The 2026 Pilot delivers with a redesigned, more aggressive front fascia, a boxier stance, and a standard 285-horsepower V6 that’s built for the long haul. This isn't just a family mover; it’s a high-tech, wide-track commander designed to rule the Gratiot corridor and beyond.

Interior

Inside the 2026 Pilot, the digital revolution is front and center. The cabin has been completely overhauled with a standard 12.3-inch ultra-wide touchscreen and a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster now standard across the entire lineup. For those icy mornings in Roseville, the 2026 model features improved sound insulation and semi-tempered door glass, creating a hushed sanctuary that keeps the Detroit road noise at bay. The legendary versatility remains, featuring a stowable second-row center seat that allows you to switch between 7- and 8-passenger configurations on the fly. With up to 113.7 cubic feet of total cargo space and new premium upholstery options like brown leather with orange stitching on the TrailSport, this interior is as sophisticated as it is cavernous.

Exterior

The 2026 Pilot commands respect with a larger, more vertical hexagon-mesh grille and a redesigned front fascia that projects raw authority. Every 2026 Pilot now comes standard with roof rails and a power tailgate, ensuring you’re ready for a run to the hardware store or a family road trip out of town. For those who want to stand out on the Lodge Freeway, the Black Edition features Berlina Black 20-inch alloy wheels and gloss-black accents, while the Touring and Elite trims debut machine-finished Shark Gray 20-inch wheels. New for 2026, the palette expands with Solar Silver Metallic and Smoke Blue Pearl, giving this flagship SUV a sleek, modern edge that turns heads from Roseville to downtown Detroit.

Performance

Under the hood, the 2026 Pilot is powered by a formidable 3.5-liter V6 engine, unleashing 285 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. This muscle is funneled through a smooth 10-speed automatic transmission that’s been optimized for responsive shifts whether you're merging onto I-94 or towing the trailer. For those who demand maximum traction, the i-VTM4® All-Wheel-Drive system (standard on TrailSport, Elite, and Black Edition) can send 70% of engine torque to the rear wheels and distribute 100% of that to either the left or right side. With a 5,000-lb towing capacity on AWD models and seven selectable drive modes—including a new, more stable steering feel for highway cruising—the Pilot provides the surgical precision needed to conquer any Michigan weather.

Safety Features

A true warrior always watches its six. Every 2026 Pilot comes standard with an upgraded Honda Sensing® suite, a digital fortress of protection built for the chaos of Metro Detroit traffic. This next-gen suite includes Collision Mitigation Braking, Road Departure Mitigation, and a newly added Post-Collision Braking system to help mitigate damage after an impact. For 2026, the 360-degree surround-view camera has been expanded to the Touring trim, providing a fighter-pilot’s view of your surroundings. With 10 standard airbags—including advanced knee and side-curtain protection for all three rows—the Pilot provides the high-tech armor needed to protect your crew on every journey.
