What's New for the 2025 Honda Pilot Specs?

For 2025, the Honda Pilot specs don't look drastically different from the previous model year. There have been some changes to the trim lineup, including the new Black Edition as the top-tier grade. Additionally, the base LX variant from 2024 is no longer available – the trim lineup now starts with the Sport. Other than these updates, the Pilot remains largely the same as the 2024 model.

2025 Honda Pilot Specs Overview

Honda Pilot Performance Specs

The new Honda Pilot is powered by a reliable 3.5-liter V-6 engine that produces 285 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. This motor is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission and FWD or AWD. The available AWD system enhances stability and traction in challenging weather conditions, and it provides confidence while tackling dirt roads and off-road trails. This system is offered in every trim, but it comes standard in the TrailSport, Elite, and Black Edition.

No matter where you're venturing, the equipped drive modes customize the vehicle's driving characteristics to adapt to the road or terrain ahead. The standard modes include Normal, ECON, Sport, Snow, and Tow. If you opt for AWD, Trail and Sand are added.

The towing capacity of the new Pilot also varies with the drivetrain. With FWD, the 2025 Pilot can tow up to 3,500 pounds.² When equipped with AWD, it can tow a maximum of 5,000 pounds.² If you're interested in one of our late-model pre-owned Honda SUVs of the Pilot, you can find these same impressive specs.

The Pilot features a unibody structure that helps provide a smooth ride and nimble handling, along with a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension.

Honda Pilot MPG Ratings

When it comes to fuel efficiency, the Honda Pilot specs deliver respectable numbers for a midsize SUV with three-row seating and a V-6 engine.

FWD models return an EPA-estimated 19/27/22 MPG (City/Highway/Combined),¹ while AWD configurations achieve an EPA-estimated 19/25/21 MPG (City/Highway/Combined).¹ The TrailSport is the exception, as it earns an EPA-estimated 18/23/20 MPG (City/Highway/Combined)¹ with its standard AWD system.

Each trim houses an 18.5-gallon fuel tank and takes regular unleaded fuel, further contributing to the cost-effective performance of this SUV.
