The EX-L trim adds leather seats, the bigger 9.0-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless smartphone charging, and a power tailgate. We recommend the Pilot EX-L due to its balance of price and features. The price of the 2024 Honda Pilot starts at $38,465 and goes up to $53,855. The Pilot's refined road manners, smooth-running V-6 engine, and modern tech make it a good choice among mid-size crossovers, but rivals such as the Kia Telluride, the Hyundai Palisade, and the Jeep Grand Cherokee L all offer similar-and in some cases, more upscale-packages. Most buyers will end up with one of the Pilot's mid-range trims though, and they'll find it's a pleasant SUV in which to run errands or tackle road trips. For those who plan to venture off-road, there's a hunkier-looking TrailSport model that gets more ground clearance, all-terrain tires, and underbody protection skid plates. Under its hood is a 285-hp V-6 engine and a 10-speed automatic all-wheel drive is optional but the Pilot's standard setup drives the front wheels. The Pilot's boxy look doesn't-nor do its features or capabilities. Right now, buyers are spoiled for choice, and it's hard for an SUV to stand out from the crowd.


Mid-size three-row SUVs like the 2024 Honda Pilot are popular with families, due in no small part to their roomy cabins, which provide equal space for both people are cargo.
