Complete Buyer's Guide: 2025 Honda Pilot Trim Levels

Finding the perfect vehicle for large families or decent utility can be a tough choice. But, if you've already narrowed it down to the Honda Pilot, you're more than halfway there. Available in a wide variety of trims, the 2025 Honda Pilot can cater to just about any need. This guide will help you choose the ideal trim.

2025 Honda Pilot Sport

The eight-seater Honda Pilot Sport may be the base level, but it's by no means entry-level. Starting at a fairly reasonable price, it still packs plenty of worthwhile features, many of which are not always included as standard on an entry-level model. But let's be specific. We're talking 20-inch alloy wheels, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a seven-speaker sound system, and ambient lighting. A 7.0-inch touchscreen and triple-zone climate control keep passengers happy.

2025 Honda Pilot EX-L

The EX-L takes the Sport and levels up with noticeable features for the extra price tag. It swaps the Sport's features for a 9.0-inch touchscreen, leather seating, and a nine-speaker sound system. The Sport's wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto become wireless on this model, and a power liftgate and memory settings are added to the driver's seat. Other features include a 12-volt power outlet in the cargo area, heated power side mirrors, and rear-door sunshades.

2025 Honda Pilot TrailSport

Stepping up to the TrailSport steps the price up a bit more, but you get what you pay for, and it's a worthy investment for those who tend to steer off-road. The 18-inch wheels wear all-terrain tires, all-wheel drive is standard, and an off-road suspension provides more ground clearance for those off-road trails. A glossy black front grille and a panoramic sunroof are visible improvements. And, for function over form, there are skid plates, a trailer hitch, and recovery hooks.

2025 Honda Pilot Touring

Let's step back to the front-wheel drive models for a moment. The Touring builds on the Sport and EX-L with larger 20-inch wheels and a hands-free power tailgate. Keyless entry is now standard, as are sound-reducing front windows for a more luxurious ride. A navigation system, Wi-Fi hotspot, and a removable middle seat in the second row are all new.

2025 Honda Pilot Elite

The Elite steps up the Touring, but adds many of the same features as the TrailSport. New additions include a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster, surround-view camera system, and a head-up display. A heated windshield with rain-sensing wipers and a heated steering wheel are great for bad-weather drives. But if you drive in cooler weather, you can switch on ventilated seating too.

2025 Honda Pilot Black Edition

The Black Edition is an exclusive top-level trim for the Pilot. It takes the Elite trim and adds its own unique blacked-out styling elements. Its 20-inch wheels are decked out in gloss black, and the interior has its own unique colors with leather-trimmed seats and red accents.
