September 15, 2009 2009 Honda Pilot Touring Review (video) by Justin Pritchard , Auto123.com |
||||
| Well that's better, isn't it? Honda's Pilot has recently undergone a much welcomed makeover. It comes after years unchanged as the large SUV from the automaker originally made famous for their small cars.
The last Pilot was a conservative rig to say the least-- though it found its way into the driveways of many who bought into Honda's promise of reliable quality. It was the perfect (and only) Honda for those who required a big machine to haul around their family, gear and toys. Despite a plain body and an interior scarcely more exciting than church, it boasted decent mileage, plenty of room and easy, all-weather operation. The new Pilot The new Pilot model puts design front and center on a higher level than the former. Dual exhaust, a Tonka-toy grille and angry-looking taillamps accent the overall chunky and tough appearance. Pilot once again occupies the rugged and truck-like styling corner of an overwhelmingly overcrowded SUV market. It's inside where things have really been stepped up, though. A remarkably accommodating interior The cabin now embraces a more modern design with its leather surfaces, metallic accents and high-depth, three-dimensional look. The instruments use a two-layer design that's back-lit in white, and they wouldn't look out of place on a high-precision laboratory instrument. There's an unbelievable amount of storage too-- with a clever pocket or cubby everywhere you'd think to reach. The adjustable, bin-like centre compartment contains cupholders, a change organizer and more than adequate room for a wallet, camera, mp3 player and more. There's a household outlet, 12-volt outlets, and an auxiliary stereo input, too. The second and third row seats are easily folded flat when 7-passenger seating isn't required, and entry and exit are trouble-free for the first 5 on board. The tailgate is motorized, and can be opened and closed from the keyfob.
