What Makes the 2025 Honda Pilot Stand Out?

Today’s Pilot is part of the fourth generation, which debuted for the 2023 model year, twenty years after the first version hit dealership lots. It is available in six trim levels, each offering something to consider. For instance, you can opt for the EX-L trim, which gives you many of the upgraded features you will use in the Oklahoma City area, or choose the TrailSport if off-roading is on your bucket list. Want sophisticated styling, LED interior lighting, and a 10.2-inch Driver Information Interface Screen? The Elite and Black Edition might be the right choice for you.

Regardless of which trim level you choose, you will find that the 2025 Honda Pilot is powered by a 3.5L V6 that provides you with 285 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque. This configuration allows you to tow up to 5,000 lbs when choosing the all-wheel drive version. Speaking of all-wheel drive, you can take advantage of it if you select the Sport, EX-L, or Touring trims, while the TrailSport, Elite, and Black Edition come with standard all-wheel drive.

Finally, it’s worth mentioning that all but the TrailSport, which has seating for seven, have a seating capacity of eight. Now, which trim level is best for you and your driving needs? Check out the highlights below to get a better idea of what each offers.

2025 Honda Pilot Sport

Despite being a base trim level, the Sport offers many of the amenities that Oklahoma City drivers want when shopping for a new SUV. For instance, drive modes include Normal, ECON, Snow, Tow, and Sport, perfect for a variety of terrains and conditions.

You and your passengers will also appreciate syncing a compatible phone with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto to gain access to your favorite playlist as well as feel safe and secure, thanks to the Honda Sensing suite of safety features, offering helpful tools such as Traffic Jam Assist, Lane Departure Warning, Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow, a Blind Spot Information System, and much more.

Additionally, the Base trim offers convenience and functionality thanks to features such as Push Button Start, Tri-Zone Automatic Climate Control, and two seven-inch screens: a color touchscreen placed squarely on the dash that allows you to access apps and other controls, and a Driver Information Interface screen that supports you during the drive.

2025 Honda Pilot EX-L

As mentioned above, the Honda Pilot EX-L offers drivers a good balance of everything they might want in an SUV, starting with available drive modes, such as Trail and Sand. It also reduces the need for cords in the front of the SUV by offering wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability. Another perk that boosts interior styling is the addition of leather-trimmed seats. You will also enjoy the convenience of LED lighting for the front console and cargo area, as well as second-row controls for the Tri-Zone Automatic Climate Control System.

The EX-L offers the same two screens as the base level Sport, but you will notice right away that the color touchscreen is larger in size—nine inches rather than seven. Additionally, this setup provides you with the ability to customize your feature settings and add shortcuts for more streamlined use. Last but not least, a programmable power tailgate makes unloading and loading easier than ever.

2025 Honda Pilot TrailSport

If you think you might enjoy exploring the road less traveled in our area or beyond, the TrailSport trim level is the one for you. As mentioned above, it has a seating capacity of seven, which means the second row offers captain’s chairs rather than a bench seat. Additionally, you will find that it offers a One-Touch Power Panoramic Moonroof, which isn’t available on the other two trims already mentioned.

Other exterior features that set the Honda Pilot TrailSport apart include an integrated class III trailer hitch, underbody skid plates, and recovery points at the front and rear. Additionally, a heated wiper zone and a black front grille complete the look.

The TrailSport also offers a unique look on the inside, with durable synthetic leather and orange stitching. Regarding safety and connectivity features, the same systems found in the EX-L and Sport are standard for the TrailSport trim, and you will find the same nine-inch color touchscreen mentioned when reviewing the EX-L onboard as well.

2025 Honda Pilot Touring, Elite, and Black Edition

One of the standout features of the top three trims is the Programmable Power Tailgate that offers Hands-Free Access with Walk Away Close. What that means for you is that all you need to do is wave your foot underneath the rear bumper to either open or close the tailgate. Even better? As you walk away, simply push the button on your key fob, and the tailgate will close on its own.

Regarding exterior styling, all three also offer dual chrome exhaust finishers, a gloss black front grille, gloss black roof rails, and a one-touch power panoramic moonroof. The Elite and Black Edition also come equipped with the heated wiper zone that was mentioned when reviewing the TrailSport.

On the inside, the Elite trim sports a leather-wrapped steering wheel, while the Elite and Black Edition’s steering wheel is heated. For all three, LED lighting—including second and third row ambient lights helps you and your passengers find what you’re looking for as you navigate your way to your next stop.

Also helping you get where you’re going is the four-inch head-up display found in the Elite and Black Edition. This display puts things like turn-by-turn directions, a compass, phone information, and more in your line of sight without compromising your view.

Finally, while these top three trims are equipped with many of the same safety and connectivity features found in the other three trims, you will also find enhanced features, such as a Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System with Voice Recognition and Honda HD Digital Traffic. Essentially, what that means is you will have all the support you need to get where you’re going with ease. Additionally, rather than the seven-inch Driver Information Interface Screen found in the rest of the lineup, the Elite and Black Edition are equipped with a 10.2-inch screen.
