Get ready for the latest iteration of the Honda Pilot as it makes its debut for the 2025 model year, bringing along exciting updates and a new Black Edition trim. Let’s dive into what this revamped SUV has to offer.
Trim Level
In a notable change, Honda has bid farewell to the base LX trim, reshuffling the lineup to introduce the Black Edition as the flagship model. With this shift, the entry-level position is now occupied by the Pilot Sport, starting at $41,295. This move marks the first time the Pilot’s starting price has surpassed the $40,000 mark.
Pricing
With the LX trim discontinued, the Pilot Sport takes on the responsibility of the entry-level model, resulting in a base price increase of $2810. However, the price adjustments for other trims remain relatively modest, with only slight increases compared to the previous model year. The EX-L now starts at $44,595, the Touring at $48,595, the TrailSport at $50,495, and the Elite at $54,175. Meanwhile, the newly introduced Black Edition commands a starting price of $55,675.
Black Edition
Drawing inspiration from its successful stint in the 2024 Passport lineup, the Black Edition makes its way to the 2025 Pilot with a host of sleek enhancements. Featuring striking black 20-inch wheels and blacked-out badging, this trim exudes an air of sophistication. Inside, the Black Edition boasts exclusive detailing, including embossed logos on the front seats and floor mats, as well as eye-catching red contrast stitching and accent lighting.
Performance
All Pilot models are equipped with a robust 3.5-liter V-6 engine, delivering a commanding 285 horsepower. Paired with a smooth 10-speed automatic transmission, this powerhouse ensures a dynamic driving experience. While front-wheel drive comes standard on the base trims, buyers have the option to upgrade to all-wheel drive for an additional $2100.
