2026 Honda Pilot

The 2026 Honda Pilot has returned with a bold new face and a tech-heavy refresh, solidifying its place as a premier three-row fortress for Boston families. As your Honda destination at Parkway Honda Boston—located on the VFW Parkway in West Roxbury—we know that navigating New England winters and weekend hauls through the Commonwealth requires an SUV with real grit. The 2026 Pilot delivers with a redesigned, aggressive front fascia, a boxier stance, and a standard 285-horsepower V6 that is built for the long haul. This isn't just a family mover; it’s a high-tech, wide-track commander designed to rule the Parkway and beyond.

Interior

Inside the 2026 Pilot, the digital revolution is front and center. The cabin has been 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 West Roxbury, the 2026 model features improved sound insulation and semi-tempered door glass, creating a hushed sanctuary that keeps the city noise at bay. The versatility remains a hallmark, featuring a stowable second-row center seat on most trims 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 available brown leather with diamond stitching, this sanctuary 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 are ready for a run to the hardware store or a family road trip to the North Shore. For those who want to stand out, 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 Jamaica Plain to downtown Boston.

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 has been optimized for responsive shifts whether you're merging onto Route 1 or towing a trailer. For those who demand maximum traction, the i-VTM4 All-Wheel-Drive system—standard on TrailSport, Touring, Elite, and Black Edition trims—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 dedicated Tow Mode and Snow Mode, the Pilot provides the precision needed to conquer any Massachusetts 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 unpredictable nature of New England traffic. This suite includes Collision Mitigation Braking, Road Departure Mitigation, and a Post-Collision Braking system to help mitigate damage after an impact. For 2026, the 360-degree surround-view camera is available to provide a comprehensive view of your surroundings, making it easier to navigate tight city parking. 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.
