The vehicle was redesigned in 2009. It has three rows of seats.[1] The vehicle has limited off-road capability but does allow wading through nineteen inches of water. The Pilot was Honda's largest crossover up until the introduction of the Crosstour, a station wagon based SUV built on the Accord platform. While it is longer than the Pilot it doesn't allow seating for 7-8 passengers.
The Pilot has been compared with other crossover cars and sport utility vehicles.[2]
The Pilot was redesigned in 2015 for the 2016 model year.[3] It no longer has a boxy crossover look. It now looks more like the Honda Odyssey. Its 6-cylinder engine is now more powerful and mated to 6- and 9-speed automatic transmissions.
