Compare 2023 vs 2022 Honda Pilot

Performance

The 2022 Pilot is a pleasure to drive with its strong power and agile handling. A V6, 3.5-liter, 280-horsepower engine is paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission throughout its trim levels. Lower Pilot trims have your choice of front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. Standard all-wheel drive is included in higher trims. In 2023, the Honda Pilot receives a new 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces 285 horsepower. This engine is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. The 2023 Pilot also offers up to 7 available driving modes including new Sport, Tow, and Trail modes. In addition, the 2023 Pilot TrailSport trim will have standard equipment like an off-road-ready suspension, all-terrain tires, steel skid plates, and more.

Appearance

You can also find bold changes to the interior and exterior designs of the 2023 Pilot. On the exterior, you will notice that the new Pilot has a flatter nose, a larger and more upright grille, and horizontal LED headlights. Below these features, a thin accent bar underscores the Pilot’s nose, and air vents accent it. The result is a sportier profile and more athletic stance. Inside the 2023 Pilot, the dashboard has a new look with a horizontal bar and clean surfaces. This is combined with a rising center console and a raised display screen for the infotainment system. There’s also more legroom for the second row and third row of seating. Compared to the new Pilot, the 2022 Honda Pilot offers more reserved, conservative looks.
