With summer coming so quickly, you are probably starting to think about quick getaways and vacations for your downtime. The 2019 Honda Pilot is the perfect vehicle to get you where you want to go in style and comfort.
Refreshed Appearance
The newer appearance will have you headed to your getaway in style. This three-row crossover SUV has been reimagined with a more SUV look than the minivan-like appearance from prior years. The new square grille and relocated reverse lights from the lower bumper cover to the taillight clusters help to create a more sporty look. Imitation skid plates on the lower plastic bumper also help the appearance of the Pilot to be more SUV-like.
With eight fashionable colors to choose from and 18-inch alloy wheels, the 2019 Honda Pilot also offers a one-touch power moonroof with tilt feature as well as a panoramic roof and acoustic glass, depending on trim level. Roof rails are also available and will add to the sporty appearance as well as the cargo capability with top storage. Interior storage is 17 cubic feet with seating capacity for seven passengers and one driver. Load the luggage and snacks into the Pilot, the tents on top, and you are ready to head off to a summer camping trip.
Engine Set-up
The 2019 Honda Pilot’s engine is similar to past years. The 3.5-liter 24-valve SOHC i-VTEC V-6 engine comes with a six-speed automatic transmission in the LX, EX, and EX-L trim levels. The Touring and Elite trims feature a nine-speed automatic transmission. There are two-wheel and all-wheel drive options and a standard remote entry feature. Towing capacity on the two-wheel-drive engines is 3,500 pounds while the maximum towing weight on the all-wheel drive is 5,000 pounds.
Safety Perks
The Honda Pilot has all of the benefits of the Honda Sensing package as well as extra safety features. Vehicle Stability Assist with Traction Control, Anti-Lock Braking System, Electronic Brake Distribution, Brake Assist, Multi-Angle Rearview Camera, Tire Pressure Monitoring System with Tire Fill Assist and Location and Pressure Indicators, and Blind Spot Monitoring System with Cross Traffic Monitor are all standard in the 2019 model.
Airbags in the front, SmartVent front side airbags, and third-row side curtain airbags with rollover sensor also increase the safety of the 2019 Honda Pilot as well as the overall feel of security while you’re on the road.
When you’re headed out for your summer getaways and road trips, be sure to pack up the Honda Pilot. It looks great, offers reasonable fuel efficiency, and is extremely safe for all trips on four wheels. Stop into Russell & Smith Honda today and test drive the latest model.
