The Honda Pilot is a midsize SUV that holds up to 8 passengers. A standard 3.5L V-6 coupled to a 5-speed automatic is the sole powertrain. Honda has added VCMTM (Variable Cylinder Management) to improve fuel economy. ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) technology helps reduce interior cabin noise. Both 2WD and 4WD Pilots are available. Satellite navigation and a rear DVD entertainment system are optional. ABS, front-side airbags, side-curtain airbags, and VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist) are all standard.
