What's New for the 2026 Honda Pilot?
The 2026 Honda Pilot enters the new model year with a refreshed exterior design, highlighted by a redesigned front fascia and a more prominent grille. Standard equipment now includes roof rails and a power tailgate for added utility. Furthermore, Solar Silver Metallic and Smoke Blue Pearl have been introduced as fresh exterior paint options.
The interior receives significant technology upgrades, most notably a 12.3-inch HD touchscreen and a 10.2-inch digital driver instrumentation display. To improve the driving experience, Honda engineers retuned the steering for greater precision. Occupants will also enjoy a more serene environment thanks to the integration of additional sound-deadening materials throughout the cabin.
