1. No v-tec oh Honda why would u do this , other then that it’s very nice

2. Honda still keeping tried and true cars especially with the pilot, no CVTs no Hybrids , just a car you know it will last at least 10 years problem free

3. I'm only 16 and if this thing comes in a manual, I could lowquenuinly see myself enjoying this… Am I old guys 😭

4. Steering rack and wheel look terrible

5. Just a suggestion. Always check out the 3rd row comfort. ty

6. Shape better honda after I leave mines at the hotel]

7. These vehicles are very sharp and responsive.

8. I have a 2025 Pilot and I love it. But if I’m honest, the Palisade stomps all over this thing. Honda can’t get a large format Hybrid to market, while Hyundai perfected it in one generation.

9. V6 in the big 2026 woohoo 💪
   Love from Auckland, New Zealand 🇳🇿 ❤️

10. I respect Honda for not doing the everyone else route and put a stressed out turbo 4 banger. The 3.5 V6 is simplistic in its design and has smooth power. Add in Honda quality and this is definitely a worthy buy, it’s less vanilla and actually looks much better than past models especially the interior. Toyota needs to take note, I think Honda just checked mated them 🤙🏽❤️

11. I drove a '25 Pilot and I didn't like the feel and handling. It was a little noisy too, typical of many Hondas. My Jeep Grand Chreokee L was much better than the 25 Pilot. Ended up buying a '26 Passport which felt much better and was noticeably quieter. It sounds like they improved the '26 Pilot and fixed the stuff I didn't like.

12. Love my 25 Elite – just did a 700 mile road trip in it and it was a breeze with adaptive cruise.

13. How do you sell the elite trim and not have hood struts. 🤯

14. honda pilot: the official car of shoulda bought an odyssey but my ego is too big

15. A three-row Honda has no right to SOUND that good!!

16. How you communicate so good men?? Love your videos

17. Must be. Bigger than. Chevrolet Tahoe. 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪

18. This sounds better than a G80 LOL thats sad

19. I’m curious how you think the new Passport drives compared to this. I imagine the handling must be very similar.

20. I'll go ADX

21. my mom has a 2020 elite and that thing is genuinely more fun than my rlx. that awd really puts down that power

22. They have a problem with this engine so I could care less what they selling it for, they need to fix the past engine, before I look at that engine again, and I love Honda very sad 😢

23. Holy moly, what road is this? as a new yorker that looks like heaven, tire of driving on the bumpy FDR and 9A Highway 🙁

24. Had the pleasure of visiting the philly auto show this weekend. Lots of good stuff from Honda and Toyota. Excited to pick up maybe a civic hybrid or a camry off lease in a few years.

    Edit: And yes, Tedward, I saw the new Prelude. And I still don't know what to think of it 😅

25. AMBER SIGNALS

26. Does this have cylinder deacivation?

27. Dude the nostalgia is strong with this video. Driving on the I15 through Escondildo i mean Escondido, my home town.

28. Respect to Honda for keeping the J35 alive. Have an 07 Pilot with (pretty much) the same engine and 164k miles, still purrs like a kitten. Typical valve clacking aside.

29. I really like the Pilot, especially the pricing with the lower trims. I have seen some reports recently of recalls/class actions against honda for their V6s and transmissions. Have they made changes or is the drivetrain suspect these days?

30. 2023-2025 Exterior with 2026+ Interior would be perfect IMO. Still might consider one of these to replace my 2021 Passport. 3 rows could add some nice flexibility vs. Passport when it comes to hauling kids/friends/inlaws.
