New Honda Pilot test: what to pull when stuck? Driving experience

What a good box with a sliding curtain between the front seats - a mini-trunk! This will include a tablet computer, a paper box, a handbag, and a fast food bag full of hamburgers. Drinks won't fit anymore, but for them there are as many as eight cup holders in the cabin.

And in the bowels of the car there is a "household" electrical wiring. At the bottom of the center console, USB, HDMI and cigarette lighter connectors are mounted. Inside the tank between the front seats is another USB, an AUX line-in and a 12-volt socket. Rear passengers are provided with two headphone outputs, HDMI, two non-transmitting USB sockets for charging external devices and an RCA audio / video input. Rich! And that's not it. In front of the driver and front passenger there is a color monitor of the multimedia system based on Android OS. Even the Yandex.Navigator application works here in the full version. The occupants of the two rear rows are addressed with an entertainment system with a nine-inch display and a remote control. This is a truly furnished apartment, not just a room.

Leather seats on all cars. If children are littered, skin is easier to clean than cloth. The length of the cabin and the range of adjustments is enough with a margin - three adults under one meter ninety can sit one after another quite comfortably. But the width is not enough: three broad-shouldered in any of the back rows will be cramped.

RIDE BUT DON'T GET STUD

Pilot will be supplied to Russia only with a V-shaped petrol "six" with a capacity of 249 hp. and six-speed automatic transmission... The tank can be filled with 92nd gasoline.

Before entering our market, the car went through a cycle of tests in the Russian outback, after which significant changes were made: the suspension was reconfigured, the ground clearance was increased, the noise insulation was improved, the all-wheel drive transmission acquired a purely Russian "mud" mode, improved brake discs, there was a heating of the steering wheel, second-row seats and windshield in the parking area of ​​the wiper blades.

I had a chance to ride the Pilot along the mountain serpentines of Armenia. I will say right away: the car that has overcome this reserve of broken asphalt will not save us either. Even the pouring rain did not frighten. Large puddles, in front of which cars drop their speed, Pilot takes effortlessly: the two-ton colossus does not pull to the side, even when the wheels of only one side fall into deep water.

The motor is very lively, but its agility is restrained by a slow gearbox. You push the pedal to the floor - and you wait for a long time for the reaction of the transmission. And there is no way to switch gears yourself. The declared consumption in the combined cycle is 10.4 l / 100 km. After leaving Yerevan, I managed to drive along the highway and mountain serpentine, according to the trip computer, 10.8 liters.

The suspension is soft in the American way - long-travel and comfortable. You can only hear the muffled slaps of tires at the seams and joints of the asphalt. The manufacturer calls the shock absorbers amplitude-reactive. Do not be alarmed: they only reduce body sway on large irregularities and in corners. WITH patching and with small shot the Pilot does an excellent job. On the bumps and pits, too, no problem. At low speeds, the Pilot slides smoothly over obstacles, and the suspension travel seems to be enormous. But, as it turned out, the compression stroke is not that great. Over ridges on the field and transverse asphalt waves - only crawling. If you go faster, expect blows on the rebound.

The new all-wheel drive transmission with individual rear wheel clutches allows for dynamic torque distribution. In theory, it is better than traditional 4 × 4 schemes on asphalt and not inferior to them off-road. But in practice, diagonal hanging is not so easy to deal with. The test route with a deep ford, ascents and potholes was passed without remarks. And after the finish one front wheel on a small dirt ridge, it ran into a bump, another skidded - and no clutches helped the rear wheels to push the car forward. The traction control system does not allow you to drive with active slip! I had to take it back.

And when, in the sandy expanses, I turned the steering wheel a little steeper, the Pilot began to briskly lose speed. Gas to the floor, but it does not go! I tried in different modes- in vain. None of the traction stabilization and traction control systems is completely disabled and chokes the engine. How so? Honda said that flaws are possible on pre-production models - they say, everything will work as it should on commercial vehicles.

The Pilot is a mighty crossover, but not a mighty rogue. On the ground, he really lacks manual switching gear. And try not to get stuck on it. Why? No rear towing eye! You need to pull - what to cling to? The driver should not count on the seven pushers who are sitting in the "apartments". They say that these are pre-production costs: there will be either an eyelet or a hitch. And in front, a not very convincing loop is adapted: it is not so easy to get to it, and when towing, the cable will certainly damage the lower part of the bumper.

Still, the Pilot is a great family car. And a family idyll means a life full of love and tenderness, without heavy worries and struggles. On all roads, asphalt and country roads, the Pilot fits into this concept. And the owner will not be engaged in off-roading on it - he is experienced motorist.

A PLUS: All passengers' gadgets will be charged MINUS: What to pull if stuck?

New Honda Pilot test: what to pull when stuck?

The new Pilot is prettier than its angular predecessor. Even the radiator grille and chrome-like window trims do not spoil the impression. In Russia, a large crossover will be launched on sale under the motto "Your eight-bed apartments." A hint of a comfortable environment for the whole family?

In February 2015, Chicago was held car show, on which a curious car was presented - a full-size SUV Honda Pilot, already the third generation of this Japanese crossover. The start of its sales is scheduled for mid-2015. The previous generation, which has been produced since 2008, was in high demand in the United States, so they decided to produce new version this big car.

Major changes in the new crossover

Like all previous models, this car refers to Japan only by its name, and the development and execution was carried out by engineers and designers of the American division of the company "Honda R&D Americas". The new Pilot for 2016 has a completely different look with a redesigned design that is fundamentally different from previous versions. The size of the car has also changed upward, but at the same time its weight has decreased.

Second generation Honda Pilot looked too brutal, but even this did not save his boring image, but latest version turned out to be much more fun and dynamic, combining a solid appearance and sporty modern design. Despite the increased size, new crossover no longer looks so cumbersome, flaunting its impetuous outlines.

Previously, the Pilot body was distinguished by angular rectilinear forms, but now they have been replaced by stylish ribs along the body, stampings and convex surfaces. As a result, it began to resemble its older brother from the Acura MDX premium segment. In principle, the same approach is used as on other crossovers of the company, but due to the larger body, these changes are brighter and more striking.

Honda Pilot design

Thanks to the widespread use of aluminum parts, the car lightened by 136 kg, becoming 9 cm longer, and strong grades of steel made the body rigid and reliable. The front of the car is decorated with expressive longitudinal ribs, and the hood stands out with a proprietary Honda grille with chrome crossbars and new headlights of complex geometric shapes, which are also fully LED in any modification of the crossover.

The powerful hood carries a large bumper, consisting of two parts: the lower part of black plastic with an air intake and foglights, which are recessed inward to protect against stones flying from under the wheels of cars, and the upper part, consisting of horizontally located running lights and painted in the main color.

The rear of the SUV is very simple, but at the same time it looks quite solid and laconic: a compact bumper, which, like the front, consists of a lower unpainted plastic part. Above there is a spoiler above the fifth door, which is unusually large, which makes loading and unloading luggage easier. Also, in the new Honda Pilot backdoor It also stands out for its abundant glazing, which is not typical modern crossovers... This ensures good overview, which means maneuver reverse much easier. The taillights look chic thanks to their bright LED filling and their extraordinary shape.

Also, all the side doors are distinguished by their large size, which makes it easier to get into the SUV's interior. The longitudinal ribs extending from the hood, the raised sill line, as well as large rims (up to 20 inches) emphasize the car's sporty character.

SUV interior decoration

It is noteworthy that the buyer of the new Honda Pilot crossover can order a car in a 7- or 8-seater modification when purchasing. If this is a 7-seater accommodation, then two large armchairs will be installed in the second row, and if the SUV is ready to take on board up to 8 people, then in the second row there will be an ordinary three-seater sofa. The third row of armchairs is always three-seater, but at the same time it is no less comfortable and spacious than the seats on the second row sofa. These seats are designed for large adult passengers who can freely travel for many hours and at the same time, thanks to their comfort, do not feel tired. In other similar cars, the third-row seats are usually distinguished by the smallest dimensions compared to the second and first rows. Seats in the second row can be folded easily - all you need to do is press a button, as a result of which the back folds down and the seat slides forward, providing access to the third row of seats.

The interior of the new Honda Pilot SUV is decorated with the most modern views plastic, natural leather and high-quality carpet on the floor. The inner surfaces of the doors and the cup holders are equipped with a pleasant LED backlight... It's all by premium car standards, but the crossover isn't premium.

On the classic dashboard the central place is given to the large screen of the multimedia system with the installed navigation program. Under it is the control unit climate control for three zones. And for passengers in the second row, a separate climate control unit is installed.

Climate control is a system for controlling the car's climate, consisting of a heater, air conditioner, filters and several sensors.

The front panel is made in two colors - a light bottom contrasting with a dark top surface. The company's engineers used many buttons that are rarely used in the car, but are very modern now, So, with their help, you can change gears and start the engine. Large, with a comfortable grip, the steering wheel is large enough and it is not very convenient to rotate it, but it looks great against the background of a large SUV.

Luggage can be stowed between the fifth door and the backrests of the third row of seats. The trunk is quite large - 550 liters, but by expanding the second and third rows of seats, you get a huge 2,500-liter compartment with a flat floor and a high enough ceiling for loading.

Technical characteristics of the crossover Honda Pilot 2016

No matter how gorgeous this one is japanese SUV, and the buyer does not have a choice of power units when ordering a certain configuration - it is available with only one option gasoline engine... This unit is a 3.5-liter i-VTEC modification with six cylinders arranged in a V-shape. The Gas engine develops a maximum power of 290 hp, but all forces are not always involved - in case of a light load, the electronics automatically turn off 3 cylinders, which leads to significant fuel savings by this powerful motor... The start / stop system also contributes to fuel savings.

The "start / stop" system is a system in a car that reduces fuel consumption, the amount harmful emissions by reducing the engine running time by Idling(traffic jams, traffic lights), which sometimes reaches 30% of the total engine operating time.

Despite one version of the available engine, you can choose one of two automatic transmissions: in the basic version it is a 6-speed gearbox, and a modern 9-speed automatic transmission is available on request.

In the basic version, the crossover is assembled only with all-wheel drive, but the SH-AWD all-wheel drive system is also available, which is used in the premium Acura MDX SUV (this indicates the premium quality of the Honda Pilot). The suspension of the car is completely independent, consists of MacPherson struts at the front and a multi-link system at the rear. The parameters of the installed suspension, as well as the steering system, gearbox and engine, can be changed using the Integrated Dynamic System.

The Integrated Dynamic System is a Honda system that allows you to select and use the desired driving mode depending on outside conditions, driving style and road quality.

The safety of the driver and passengers is ensured by a set of Honda Sensing systems and programs. IN standard configuration there is a built-in 4-channel anti-lock braking system, which consists of an electronic assistant for starting up the hill, an external camera and many airbags.

Works at "five" brake system, which deserves the highest marks and is extremely effective at stopping a car rushing at full steam. However, you should not accelerate on a Honda Pilot very quickly - at speeds above 140 km / h it becomes too roll, in the American style, fuel consumption increases significantly, due to the large mass, it is necessary to constantly correct the trajectory of the steering wheel.

Sitting in the driver's seat has an excellent view, and thanks to the high ergonomics of the cabin, everything is easy to find at hand and to get to the crossover controls. When driving on almost all roads and on all possible speeds in a well-soundproofed cabin, no extraneous sounds are heard and there is silence, and the sounds of the engine do not reach at almost all speeds.

Thus, along with a modern appearance, high-quality interior design and excellent dynamics of the car, the latter also has some disadvantages: lack of choice of engines and soft American laxity.

Video test drive of the new crossover Honda Pilot 2016

The third generation Honda Pilot has a revolutionary design that combines sleek and elegant body lines and improved aerodynamic performance. The crossover inherited practically nothing from its predecessor.

Absolutely new

The front two are the cockpit of the aircraft: there is plenty of space, ventilation of the seats and other joys of life. In the second row, two people can comfortably sit - fortunately, the back of the sofa is adjustable in the corner, and the pillow moves back and forth. But three adults can sit quite tolerably, and even on a long journey: yes, the shoulders will be in contact, but there is enough space for the legs, and most importantly, there is an entertainment system with its own screen that leans back from the ceiling. So once again you will not complain about life - there is no time! What's in the third row?

Relatively. Even adult passengers are accommodated here in a completely human way: they sit with their backs tilted a little, not bending their knees too much and even more or less naturally placing their feet on the floor - since they can be slipped under the second-row sofa. But three adult passengers here, no matter what they say in Honda about the three-seater of this sofa, of course, will not sit down. Well, okay - but even behind this sofa there is room for some belongings. And if you remove the third-row seats to the floor, it seems that there will not be enough space for a bicycle - a pair of scooters!

The endless interior also turns out to be strikingly quiet, the three-zone climate control is sensitive, precise, and the nice seats are really comfortable even on a long journey. And how does it lay? It will not shake the crew, it will not shake it again. Not a car - a motor ship! How does this boat steer?

The new generation of Pilot bears little resemblance to its ancestor, not only externally, but also internally. The main advantage of past models, which Honda engineers have preserved in the current one, is the monocoque body. This truck-sized SUV is built according to all the canons of construction passenger cars, especially for the suspension and steering, and most importantly - everything is completely re-tuned. Pilot rides, respectively, from now on in a completely different way.

By the way, the new Pilot crossover developed in the USA, crossing the ocean, like the CR-V once, also changed power unit... So, instead of the declared global gasoline atmospheric engine with a volume of 3.5 liters with a capacity of almost 300 hp. a unit with a smaller volume appeared under the hood - almost three liters with a reduced power: 249 hp. A pair of the unit will be a six-speed automatic. The tandem proved to be incredibly well-coordinated: no twitching at the start, no jerking when shifting gears ... Literally one mechanism! Although not from the world of sports - despite the rather modest mass for an SUV, the tandem carries a huge colossus, as they say, without a spark. Accelerating, every time you think: if only here ... no, not a global V6 with a capacity of 300 "horses". Diesel! At the same time, the consumption would have been reduced much more significantly than with the introduction of a cylinder shutdown system.

Off-road behavior

We had a chance to climb a steep mountain on a wet rocky path on the Pilot, force clay ascents after rain, loosen sand on the beach, ride along a shaky coastline on the water ... None of the elements could stop the still huge and beautiful crossover ... This is a new, higher class Honda Pilot!

Peculiarities

The conceptual instrument panel turned out to be very convenient: the numbers on the scales are large, the pictograms are clear, well-drawn. Excellent!

Globally, the Pilot is equipped with a naturally aspirated V6 3.5 petrol with 290 hp. and a 9-speed automatic. However, especially for Russia, this unit was replaced with a V6 with a volume of 3 liters. Of course, it is weaker - 249 hp. On the other hand, it is more profitable in terms of taxes, and it also assimilates the domestic AI-92 without any problems. The motor is paired with a completely adequate and agile six-speed automatic transmission.

conclusions

Today we will meet a new generation large crossovers from the Japanese giant Honda -Pilot. We must admit right away that testing this car was very pleasant, because it, like no other, corresponds to the word "comfortable". I didn't even want to leave it! Of course, the price will not please many, but in general, the crossover justifies its price tag: from 1 million 799 thousand to 2 million 99 thousand rubles.

It is noteworthy that initially HondaPilot 2016 was developed for the US market, but the versatility and practicality of the car helped to win the hearts of motorists not only in faraway America. And we all perfectly understand how difficult it is to meet the requirements of completely different automotive markets. This once again confirms the truly high quality of the Pilot! Japanese engineers have tried to transfer all the best to the new generation of crossovers, adding a few nice features.

New design and equipmentHondaPilot

Pilot is ready to conquer any conditions!

Previous generations certainly HondaPilot were very popular in certain regions, but there were still some shortcomings. For example, too gloomy design and poor ergonomics. Now, at the first glance at the updated crossover, you simply do not recognize it. He has become truly stylish and attractive. But we do not exclude the fact that “there are no comrades in taste and color,” which means that the former brutal forms can cause nostalgia in someone.

However, the interior should please everyone! All of last year's cons are reduced to "no": no rough and simple materials, no silly buttons, nothing cheap. Now, getting inside, you will feel at home. Every little thing has been reworked for the better, and the materials have been replaced with softer and higher quality ones. Separate words are worthy of the new armchairs, which have become wider and have good rigidity. With these seats, you can travel for a long time and comfortably.

Fortunately, Japanese engineers were able to implement many technological solutions without compromising the overall comfort and coziness.

HondaPilot 2016 improved in terms of ergonomics. All buttons are located in places that are easy to reach and which will not get lost in " dead zone». Steering wheel equipped with a new control panel and received a comfortable convex shape. Sure, multimedia system with a touch screen and buttons, which can be found in almost every modern car, needs to be mastered, because not everyone is accustomed to using such devices, and even on the go! And it is worth getting used to it, because in the near future they promise to support the special program "Yandex.Navigator", which can pave the route, avoiding traffic jams.

Your passengers will love the connectivity and climate control.

The holiday does not end there! As we noted above, the new interior materials are pleasing to the eye and are soft plastic and leather. That's why new salon cannot be compared with last year.

Internal volume of the renovated HondaPilot 2016 has become even more! Imagine, last year's version was already among the most spacious crossovers, but here there is even more space! The dimensions of the car have increased as follows: length by 79 mm, width by 2 mm, wheelbase by 40 mm!

It is immediately noticeable that the free space for rear passengers there are much more on the 2nd and 3rd rows.

The updated body structure itself has expanded the free space for passengers in the second row, especially for the legs. And the third row will be able to accommodate not only children, but also adults with small dimensions. However, the third row is still not very comfortable and is suitable for trips over short distances.

I was very pleased with the fact that the increase in internal space did not affect the volume luggage compartment... Moreover, the free space with the rear row lowered has increased to 305 liters against 217 liters in the previous version! For 5-seater HondaPilot an even larger volume of 827 liters is available! So, you can go to the dacha with sacks of potatoes without any difficulty.

By the way, Honda Pilot is not only a comfortable family crossover, but also truly modern car... It is equipped with climate control, various lighting and heating functions, many different places for storing small things and connectors for USB, HDMI, RCA and 12V charging. In general, in short, there is everything. And not a single passenger will be bored, just like children.

PerformanceHondaPilot

The crossover is not bad on the road. But there is one drawback: it will be inaccessible on the territory of Russia top-end equipment with a 3.5 liter engine and a 9-speed automatic transmission. It will be replaced by another, less impressive power plant with a volume of 3.0 liters and a 6-speed "automatic".

Nevertheless, this option fully meets expectations. Power point equipped with a proprietary system that changes valve timing, as well as the function of turning off unnecessary cylinders to improve fuel economy. Thus, the Pilot can operate with 3, 4 or 6 cylinders! This modernization made it possible to reduce consumption to 14.3 liters per 100 km, according to the passport data. And the acceleration is 9.1 s to 100 km / h.

Even more surprising is the fact that during testing, HondaPilot2016 did not disappoint and fully corresponded to its stated statistics. The already heavy weight of the car was slightly increased, but this did not affect performance and acceleration in any way. Of course, for fans of fast driving, such a crossover is not suitable, since it is aimed primarily at increased comfort and a smooth ride.

By the way, the soundproofing of the Pilot is the highest level... If you do not press the gas pedal hard, then you will not feel any irregularities or jolts, and vibration and noise are completely absent. But at high speeds, the situation will change for the worse. Noticeable rolls, engine noise and a kind of suspension that will react to any roughness - all this will appear with a sharp increase in speed. Thus, it is better to use the crossover for its intended purpose and not try to squeeze out of it what it is not suitable for.

Compensates for the above disadvantages ability HondaPilot 2016 conquer off-road conditions. Of course, this is not a purebred SUV, but you won't have to complain about the low cross-country ability. This is facilitated by the ground clearance of 20 cm, the iVTM-4 all-wheel drive system, which can control the thrust vector and redirect the force to the free wheel in difficult situations.

Available modes will help to solve various problems: standard, mud, sand, snow. With the proper skill and skill, these settings will help you get out of many unpleasant situations. But there is no need to overestimate the Honda Pilot and rely on modern programs. This is not a full-fledged SUV and this must be remembered! After all, the dimensions and features of the crossover can put you in a very awkward position if you try to squeeze something more out of it.

Outcomes

Updated crossover HondaPilot 2016 does not shine with speed, power or off-road qualities. Nevertheless, it is a very comfortable and modern car that will be able to cope with the duties perfectly. family car... It will accommodate a large number of passengers, will not let them get bored and will not make them suffer from noise and vibrations. A worthy choice!

Photo gallery and video review

Honda pilot Price: from 3 214 900 rub. On sale: from spring 2019

The recent update hasn't made much of an impact on the exterior of the car. Curl your fingers! New bumper, another radiator grill, new design wheel rims and some decorative chrome elements. It is interesting that in the USA the restyled "Pilot" has acquired a new multi-section LED head optics and taillights with a different pattern. The Russian version still shines with lenticular headlights with LED low beam. There are no complaints about the low beam, but the far one is rather weak.

The Pilot, despite its wide chrome "blades" of the radiator grille, going into the headlight blocks, looks like a kind-hearted one. What else do you need for a family car ?! The 18-inch wheels, slightly recessed into the arches, only reinforce this image. On the other hand, there is nothing in his appearance that catches the eye, forcing him to turn around and admire him once again. Deflectors on the windows - an initiative from the dealer.

Kind is the key word for evaluating and understanding the "Pilot". Temperament manifests itself in the throttle and V-six response, leisurely gear changes, light steering effort and soft suspension (McPherson struts at the front and multi-link at the rear). The crossover, swaying imposingly in the corners, can digest almost all types of irregularities. Of course, except for the large and illogical in the form of solid "speed bumps". Thick Bridgestone Dueler H / P sport 245 / 60R18 filters out small things in the form of patches and cracks. "Pbum" - somewhere behind the thick layers of soundproofing one can hear a dull echo of driving through the pit. The passengers shook their heads slightly, and the captain of the aircraft has no reason to announce the entry into the turbulence zone.

There is a camera in the right mirror that monitors the blind spot. The image is displayed on the screen when the right turn signal is turned on or forcibly.

In the USA, the crossover is offered with a 3.5 V6i-VTEC engine (283 forces and 355 Nm), paired with a 9-speed automatic, for us - only with an atmospheric V6 3.0 PI VTEC with 249 forces and 294 Nm, plus a 6-speed automatic. But the tax is less!

The salon looks simple, well-worn. Pleases with spaciousness, a large number of niches. Obvious disadvantages - poor design of the dashboard with a screen overloaded with information on-board computer and obsolete by all parameters multimedia system.

The link between the engine and the gearbox seemed to be adjusted with an eye to the fact that even at starts with the gas pedal to the floor, the children in the second and third rows of the Pilot would continue to sleep peacefully. The main thing is that when switching from "Parking" to "Drive" do not miss below, in L, which, by the way, happened often.

V-shaped "six" sounds nice at the top. Noble. But it is much nicer that she eats 92nd gasoline. On average, Pilot consumed 15-17 l / 100 km in the city, and 8-10 l / 100 km on the highway.

To conquer light off-road in the arsenal of the crossover - 200 millimeters ground clearance, lowering and intelligent all-wheel drive system iVTM-4 with four operating modes: standard, snow, mud, sand. But it's still not worth storming serious obstacles on the Pilot - the overhangs are large, the tires are unsuitable, and in general, such a large, family crossover is not about that.

For the entertainment of passengers in the second and third rows, a 9-inch flip-down screen with a wireless remote control is provided.

According to his passport, the "Pilot" has eight seats: 2 + 3 + 3. Even with the third row unfolded, the trunk holds 305 liters under the curtain (524 under the ceiling). I like how the crossover's interior is laid out. The seats are large, there is enough free space in any row, the fit is comfortable. The third row is not conditional here: it can easily accommodate three children or two adults. On the second, there is space at all. I sit leg by leg!

Leather armchairs with co-heating, ventilation and an extensive set of electrical adjustments are comfortable: the pillow is soft, the back is elastic, the armrest is adjustable for height. In the box between the chairs - USB, 12V, AUX and a lot of space for everything that can only lie in the pockets.

Between the front seats there is a large box, adjustable armrests are attached to the seats themselves, there are more than enough compartments and shelves for things in the car. There are four niches in one driver's door different sizes and depth. There are 12 cup holders for eight people, three-zone climate control, five pairs Isofix mounts.9-inch screen entertainment system with a wireless remote control for the second and third rows, four USB inputs, two HDMI connectors, as well as headphone inputs, 12V, AUX and RCA.

With a coolly thought-out interior, bewilderment from electronics is off the charts! Cruise control does not display the speed and does not automatically adjust it based on the overall flow rate. The dashboard panel glares in the sun, and it takes getting used to the scales and the chaotic set of readings on the on-board computer screen. It's good that the speedometer is placed in a separate "window". Multimedia with a 7-inch touchscreen is frustrating in almost all respects: graphics, interface, efficiency. There are all-round cameras and an additional camera in the right mirror, peeping into the blind spot. Comfortable! But the image quality is such that you have to stare at the screen.

In the next part, we will discuss who the Honda Pilot is competing with at Russian market, let's calculate the costs and try not to dramatize Honda's unenviable fate in Russia.

Trunk volume - 305, 827 or 1779 liters, depending on the position of the seats. The armchairs fold into a flat floor. But there is a miscalculation - there is no storage space for the trunk curtain, which has to be removed in order to expand the third row.
