2016 Honda Pilot interior design

We had waited for a long time to get a glimpse on a new Honda Pilot crossover which replaced an old Pilot from 2012.The second generation of Honda Pilot crossovers has been around since 2009 with only minor design changes in 2012 so we are looking forward to see what kind of new model is going to be put on sale by Honda. Honda had sold 1.4 million Pilots solely in North America since their introduction of the first series in 2002. Pilot will certainly delight us as Honda had announce radical changes that that will certainly improve your driving experience.

2016 Honda Pilot Engine

You will find a new direct-injected 3.5 liter. The Engine is the same as the one of MDX and it either has a MDX’s six speed automatic or in the top trims ZF-sourced nine-speed with automatic start-stop. Honda did not make public power figures for Pilot’s engine but we already know that figures of MDX’s engine are 290 horse power and 267 lb-ft of torque. The engine is equipped with incredible two-stage Variable-cylinder management that switches between six-cylinder and three-cylinder modes. This depends on the load which shows us that Honda cares a lot about fuel economy.

Exterior design

The new 2016 Honda Pilot is going to have softer lines than its predecessors a fact that makes it slim and more elegant. Honda realized that consumers do not want pickup trucks anymore so the design follows the trend. It looks a bit like Honda Odyssey, a minivan which was popular a decade ago just without the sliding doors. Pilot is about 300 pounds lighter which will certainly have a huge impact on sales. It was designed in the US, to be more precise In Ohio and California. New Honda Pilot comes in a wide variety of colors such as the classic black, white and grey and more fun ones such as metallic red, pale orange and blue. There is a color for anyone so it is up to you to choose the one that you like.
