Despite not rolling out a new design for the 2019 Honda Pilot LX, Honda made arguably the most important upgrade to the Pilot when they announced that Honda Sensing would come standard on all trims. That means some of the most important safety features such as lane departure warning, brake assist, forward collision warning and more would all be included in every Pilot. That alone, coupled with classic Honda reliability and quality make the Pilot a fantastic choice for those searching for a family SUV.
Design
The ride quality of the Pilot is among the best in its class as road noise is kept to a minimum, offering a quiet and tranquil ride. The exterior is refined and bold as you would come to expect from Honda.
Features
The features on the LX trim of the Pilot include 18″ alloy wheels, automatic LED headlights, active noise cancellation, 60/40-split folding third-row seats, 5″ touchscreen, and a seven-speaker sound system.
Performance/Fuel Efficiency
A powerful and efficient 3.5-liter V6 engine with 280 horsepower drives the Pilot, while getting an EPA estimated 27 MPG. Giving drivers an adequate balance between performance and fuel economy.
Safety
Featuring Honda Sensing, the Pilot offers a suite of safety features including adaptive cruise control, frontal collision warning with automatic braking, road departure mitigation, lane keeping assist, and automatic high-beam assist.
