What's New

The 2019 Pilot undergoes several updates to make this highly popular 3-row SUV even more attractive:

• Pilot projects a bold new look, with a sharpened grille and fascia, and upgraded headlights in front; handsome restyled wheels and side sills update the profile; and a new treatment for the rear lights and skid area adorn the back
• Every Pilot trim now comes standard with the Honda Sensing^® suite of safety and driver-assistive features
• Pilot Touring and Elite buyers will now enjoy the great convenience of the hands-free access power tailgate that already enhances the experience of many CR-V and Odyssey customers; on Pilot, the kick zone has been expanded for easier operation
• New to the Pilot lineup are power-folding side mirrors on the Elite—and in a first for any Honda, those side mirrors also feature automatic dimming
• There’s a new variation within the Touring trim; it has all the Touring’s features and adds the 2nd-row captain’s chairs and center console from the Elite—plus, it can go with either front- or all-wheel drive
• The 9-speed automatic on Touring and Elite has been remapped for smoother running, including 2nd-gear takeoffs in most situations
• The idle-stop feature on Touring and Elite has also been updated for more refined operation
• New fabric adorns the LX and EX interiors
• The fold-down center armrests on the front seats are wider, for greater comfort
• The steering wheel from the 2018 Odyssey—along with its much greater number of controls—has been adapted to the new Pilot
• The Odyssey’s instrument panel and Driver Information Interface—with some reconfigured graphics—have made the leap to the 2019 Pilot as well
• 2019 Pilots with Display Audio gain the Odyssey unit, with its volume/power knob and color-coded icon graphics
• The exceptionally engaging Advanced Rear Entertainment System from the 2018 Odyssey—complete with Blu-ray™, HDMI and wireless audio streaming capabilities, plus the fun How Much Farther?^® app—as well as the CabinTalk^® feature are included on EX-L Navi/RES and above trims
• Thanks to their new built-in telematics unit, Pilot Touring and Elite trims can provide HondaLink^®22 Subscription Services along with a mobile hotspot³⁰ capability (note that the HondaLink Remote Start feature is not available for Pilot at this time)
• The Premium Audio system on Touring and Elite trims gains even more power for 2019, going from 540 to 590 watts
• Pilot Elite owners will now enjoy the convenience of a wireless phone charger for their compatible smartphones
• The Blind Spot Information system with cross traffic monitor⁴⁸ replaces LaneWatch™ on Pilot EX, EX-L and Touring trims
