9-Speed Automatic Transmission with Paddle Shifters

What’s the Benefit?
Honda’s 9-speed automatic delivers exceptionally strong and smooth acceleration and immediate response. Plus, its paddle shifters offer the driver an even more engaging experience.

The Feature:
All Pilot trims feature a 9-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters.

• This remarkably compact unit enables strong acceleration while still allowing impressive EPA fuel-economy ratings.
• Nine speeds help keep the engine operating in its most efficient rpm range.
• Response is enhanced by a shift-management program that allows multiple-gear downshifts when powerful acceleration is needed.
• Paddle shifters let drivers take over the shifting decisions as desired, and are particularly useful in hilly terrain, for better engine response uphill and utilizing engine braking downhill.
• The shift-by-wire system allows drivers to operate the transmission with push-button ease while freeing the console area of a shift lever for more open space between the front seats.
