Honda is on an SUV binge these days. Following the recently redesigned CR-V and first-ever HR-V is the brand’s all-new flagship SUV, the 2016 Pilot. Originally introduced in 2003 and now in its 3rd generation, 63% of Pilot buyers return to purchase another Honda vehicle. With that level of brand loyalty in mind, this 2016 model is a key product launch for Honda. Virtually every aspect has been redesigned with an emphasis on delivering more family-friendly utility, more advanced technology and more premium attributes and amenities. To the latter point, a new line-topping Elite version is now offered with a host of Honda firsts, including 20” wheels, ventilated front seats, heated second row seats, a heated steering wheel and a panoramic glass roof.
