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.
