Supersized 2016 Honda Pilot delivers more of just about everything - ConsumerReports.org
Redesigned for 2016, the new Honda Pilot aims to please, providing more in almost every conceivable way. This is a shift for the Pilot. Honda didn’t recapture the same lightning in the bottle with the second generation , introduced in 2008 as a 2009 model. Also, in a nation with big driveways and garages, not many people appreciated the Pilot’s efforts to cram the most interior space into a relatively compact footprint. The new Pilot is bigger, measuring 3. 5 inches longer. Growing in size didn’t make the Pilot profligate. Despite this reduction, Honda strengthened the structure, aiming for a Good in the challenging IIHS small overlap crash test. This remedies a major shortcoming of the outgoing Pilot, which lost its Consumer Reports recommended status after scoring Poor in that test. And unlike most competitors, you don't have to buy a top-trim version to get key safety gear such as forward collision warning, lane departure warning, or collision mitigation. The Honda Sensing system is available on EX trims. Source: www.consumerreports.org
