Performance & Capability
Under the hood, the 2016 Honda Pilot Elite features a refined 3.5L V-6 engine equipped with direct injection and i-VTEC VCM variable valve control. Producing 280HP, this powertrain utilizes variable cylinder deactivation and an auto stop-start engine to deliver an efficient EPA-estimated 19 MPG city and 26 MPG highway. Power is delivered through a 9-speed automatic transmission with sequential shift control and steering wheel paddle shifters for precise gear selection. Honda's intelligent All Wheel Drive system pairs with an electro-mechanical limited-slip differential and Eco Assist driver-selectable drivetrain modes to help keep traction secure across wet or snowy roads. Built with a four-wheel independent suspension featuring front struts and a rear multi-link setup, a 4.334 axle ratio, and 20-inch alloy wheels, this crossover maintains exceptional ride composure on every trip.

Inside, the cabin of the 2016 Honda Pilot Elite functions as an intuitive tech hub for both driver and passengers. Up front, an 8-inch primary monitor touchscreen hosts the Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System with voice activation and real-time traffic updates, paired with a 540W 10-speaker premium audio system and HandsFreeLink Bluetooth wireless device connectivity. Rear passengers stay entertained on long trips thanks to a factory rear entertainment system boasting a 9-inch second-row display, Blu-ray player, multi-source rear audio controls, and wireless headphones.
