On the Road
Performance & Capability for Every Mile
The 2026 Honda Pilot is powered by a 285-hp V-6 engine paired with a smooth 10-speed automatic transmission with Shift-By-Wire and paddle shifters. That combination gives the Pilot the confident acceleration, towing strength, and refined road manners that many shoppers expect from a modern family SUV. Available i-VTM4® AWD helps enhance stability on challenging roads and improves dry-road handling, while Hill Descent Control and up to seven available drive modes allow the Pilot to adapt to a wide range of driving conditions. For shoppers who want a more rugged SUV, the TrailSport trim adds all-terrain tires, off-road tuned suspension, skid plates, recovery points, an integrated Class III trailer hitch, and Trail Torque Logic for added capability beyond the pavement.

Competitive Strengths
How the 2026 Honda Pilot Stands Out
- Strong V-6 performance gives the Pilot confident power where some competitors rely on smaller turbocharged engines
- Available i-VTM4® AWD helps enhance traction and cornering confidence beyond basic all-wheel-drive systems
- The available stowable 2nd-row center seat offers seating flexibility that many rivals do not match as cleanly
- TrailSport adds real rugged hardware such as skid plates, all-terrain tires, recovery points, and TrailWatch™
- Up to 113.7 cubic feet of cargo space gives the Pilot excellent usefulness for family gear, luggage, and supplies
- Google built-in and a 12.3-inch color touch-screen help make navigation, voice control, and connectivity feel modern
In the crowded three-row SUV class, many options promise space, safety, and comfort, but the 2026 Honda Pilot brings those strengths together with a level of balance that makes it especially compelling. Some competitors may offer a roomy cabin but fall short on flexible 2nd-row packaging. Others may provide rugged styling without the TrailSport model’s more serious capability hardware. Some midsize SUVs feel comfortable in town but lack the confident towing capacity and smooth V-6 response that Pilot drivers can appreciate. For West Burlington, IA shoppers who need one vehicle for school activities, work, groceries, road trips, local recreation, and occasional towing, the Pilot is a smart fit. It feels refined enough for daily travel around Burlington and strong enough for longer drives across southeast Iowa, while offering a trim lineup that ranges from practical to premium to trail-ready.
