Around since 2008, when it received a heavily redesigned body and a new V-6 engine, the second-generation of the Honda Pilot will be retired at the end of the 2015 model year. Replacing it will be a completely restyled version that Honda described as a vehicle built to "raise the stakes in the mainstream three-row SUV segment with new technology, advanced safety, class-leading fuel economy and enhanced family utility and versatility." With the 2015 Chicago Auto already upon us, the 2016 Pilot is here to showcase its brand-new design language with CR-V-inspired cues, an athletic waistline, a sloping roofline, and flared wheel arches.
Of course, the new Pilot is not just about a redesigned shell. Honda also focused on moving the interior closer to the premium segment, and dropped in a revised version of the 3.5-liter V-6 engine. Naturally, the Japanese automaker promises more power and enhanced fuel economy. Also new is a six-speed automatic transmission, as well as a Honda-first, nine-speed autobox, obviously similar to the one featured in the Acura TLX and MDX. Keep reading to find out more about that.
