The Honda Pilot went unchanged for 2014 , and it is offered in four different trim levels : LX , EX , EX - L , and Touring . Fourth is offered in 2WD or 4WD , but beyond that you need to ante up one of the two trim to get a lot more desirable choice and convenience features .

We think the LX and EX models offer more bang for the buck , as it is more expensive EX - L , Touring and Limited trims begin to overlap with some true luxury crossover on the market . They are equipped with rear air conditioning , keyless entry , cruise control , and a seven- speaker sound system . Leather seats , Bluetooth hands-free interface , USB / iPod connectivity , power tailgate , and a navigation system all remain only available on the EX - L and Touring - a serious obstacle to the success of the broader sales .

A five-speed automatic transmission is paired with the familiar 250 - horsepower , 3.5 - liter V - 6 in the Pilot , and Honda did continue with a smooth , responsive , and sweet - sounding a reputation for these powertrains . Highway EPA ratings are now up to 25 mpg , making it one of the most three-line fuel-efficient vehicles .

Once you get past the initial shock of a high driving position , you will find the handling to be fairly sharp , with good maneuverability . Ride quality is on the firm side , but four - wheel - drive ( actually an all-wheel - drive ) system has a Lock mode and is a champion in the snow or mud . Model Four - wheel drive can tow up to 4500 pounds .
