All systems are a go for the 2025 Honda Pilot. The fourth-generation midsize SUV returns for its 2025 model year, and its biggest shake-up has nothing to do with turbulence.
The Pilot’s base-level LX trim is out, and its Black Edition trim is now its primary model. That’s right: the Pilot has gone black, and has no desire to go back. Avalon Honda has more on what that means for you moving forward.
Paint It Black
The current version of the Black Edition trim recently partnered with the 2024 Passport lineup. Amongst its exterior features are black 20-inch wheels and black accents on the grille, mirror housings, and door trim. The Pilot has quite literally been painted black, vividly and tastefully.
The interior follows suit, with a pleasingly dark palette running throughout the cabin. “Black Edition” is embossed on both the front seats and floor mats, though the black leather stylings of the seats and upholstery make this evident enough on their own. The seats, steering wheel, and door panels are all accentuated with trim-exclusive red contrast stitching. Meanwhile, red accent lighting subtly illuminates the cabin.
The combined effect makes you feel like the owner of a club, exclusive to one.
Cleared For Takeoff
As with previous fourth-generation models, all 2025 Honda Pilots are powered by a 3.5-liter V-6 engine making 285 horsepower. It comes with a 10-speed automatic transmission and standard front-wheel drive, with available all-wheel drive.
What isn’t changing with the Pilot is its unheralded spaciousness. While it rightfully defers to the larger Odyssey as Honda’s go-to family vehicle, the Pilot’s interior is impressive in its own right. The three-row, eight-passenger Pilot offers more legroom in the third row than any of its competitors, while still offering additional storage space behind it.
