5 reasons to buy the 2022 Honda Pilot
1. Room for the whole family
If you could only use one word to describe the 2022 Honda Pilot it would be "spacious." Whether you're talking about kids or cargo, the pilot has enough room for it all. The 2022 Pilot comes standard with seating for up to eight people, although it will fit seven if you opt for available second-row captain's chairs. Even with the third row in use, you'll have at least 16 cu-ft of cargo space, plenty for beach equipment or sports gear. Plus, a standard hidden storage ensures you can always pack a few more items.
2. Strong towing capacity
Sometimes, no matter how spacious your vehicle is, you need to tow some toys behind. The 2022 Pilot is up for that challenge, whether you're trailering a camper for a family weekend away or your boat for a day on the lake. With the standard 3.5L V6 engine and available all-wheel drive, the 2022 Pilot can tow up to an estimated 5,000 pounds when properly equipped.
3. Kid-friendly details
When driving with children, little details can make all the difference in keeping your passengers comfortable and happy. The 2022 Pilot is full of child-friendly details. For example, there are 16 cup holders, which is plenty to hold sippy cups, snacks, and bottles. There's also an available P.A. system, called CabinTalk®, that allows the driver or front passenger to talk directly to people in the back without raising their voice.
4. Driver-assist features
Driving with a large group can be distracting, so you'll appreciate the suite of standard driver-assist features on the 2022 Honda Pilot. In fact, there are too many to list them all, but you'll enjoy standard lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and more. Rain-sensing windshield wipers and front and rear parking sensors are available options.
5. Simple connectivity.
New for the 2022 model year, the Honda Pilot comes standard with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. They're controlled on the standard eight-inch touchscreen. That means no matter how often you have to change the station to keep the peace, it will always be simple.
