2026 Honda Pilot Elite, 2026 Honda PilotTrailSport
Honda has advanced the rugged, family-friendly Honda Pilot for the 2026 model year with several key upgrades inside and out. These include a larger touchscreen, a more premium and tech-rich interior, and major styling updates with vibrant new colors. Improved steering feel and a quieter cabin enhance both driving enjoyment and overall comfort, and safety features have been upgraded as well.
The rugged exterior design of the 2026 Pilot is even more aspirational and adventure-ready, with a bolder design that includes a new larger grille and more pronounced front and rear scuff plates. Sport and EX-L feature a new black grille with a gloss black surround, while Touring, Elite and Black Edition are distinguished with a new gloss black grille, and TrailSport with a gray grille. The new scuff plates are silver on EX-L, TrailSport, Touring and Elite, and black on Pilot Sport and Black Edition.
To further highlight the additional off-road capability of the Pilot TrailSport, its new rear scuff plate features an exclusive design with a robust off-road ready style and its rear PILOT logo gains new orange trim, matching its TrailSport badges.
Roof rails are now standard on all trims, further increasing Pilot’s capability and style. Touring, Elite and Black Edition trims feature newly styled 20-inch wheels. Touring and Elite ride on new machine-finished Shark Gray alloy wheels with black lug nuts. At the top of the range, Pilot Black Edition gets new Berlina Black alloy wheels with black lug nuts.
Pilot TrailSport is an authentic, off-road-capable SUV for family adventures with exclusive rugged hardware, including rugged all-wheel drive capabilities and robust steel skid plates that protect the underbody from damage on the trail. TrailSport’s raised off-road tuned suspension with additional ground clearance, increases articulation and improves off-road ride quality, all without sacrificing Pilot’s exceptional on-road comfort and best-in-class handling.
To take adventure-seeking families even further off the beaten path, Pilot TrailSport includes beefy all-terrain tires that substantially improve traction in dirt, sand, mud, rocky terrain and snow, while remaining quiet and comfortable on the road.
The refreshed 2026 Pilot is available in three exciting new colors: sophisticated Solar Silver Metallic, striking Smoke Blue Pearl and TrailSport exclusive Ash Green Metallic, which is now available on all Honda TrailSport models.
The elevated cabin experience of the 2026 Honda Pilot brings more comfort and features for the whole family with more standard technology than ever, reduced cabin noise, and higher quality materials. Every 2026 Honda Pilot now features a new ultra-wide 12.3-inch touchscreen, 37% larger than the previous model year, powered by the latest HMI software for smooth, lag-free performance. It also includes a 10.2-inch Digital Instrument Cluster, now 43% larger, offering enhanced visibility and a more immersive driving experience.
Pilot now includes standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, Google built-in, and 5G wi-fi hotspot capability. The new HMI software provides a simplified navigation structure with fewer embedded menus. Designed with simplicity in mind, the system offers three user-defined, easily programmable shortcuts on the left side of the screen. A 360-degree surround view camera is now included on the Pilot Touring (new for 2026) in addition to the Pilot Elite and Black Edition.
Additionally, Pilot Touring now features high-contrast seating accents and door panel stitching, and a new brown leather interior is available. Elite trims and the top-of-the-line Black Edition are even more luxurious with new diamond quilted Ultra Suede seat accents and high-contrast door panel stitching. The Pilot TrailSport is now available with a brown leather interior option (in addition to black leather) with contrasting orange stitching. Pilot TrailSport also gains standard heated second row outboard seats for those chilly winter family adventures.
For a more refined driving experience, the Pilot cabin is quieter thanks to new semi-tempered door glass, door insulators, a new hood insulator and other sound absorbing technologies that reduce the transmission of engine, road and wind noise. In addition, Pilot Touring and Elite add enclosed fender liners to further reduce road noise.
A power tailgate, previously available on EX-L and above trims, is now standard on all 2026 Pilot models.
