Mid-cycle updates, refreshed styling, and upgraded tech — everything you want to know about the 2026 Pilot.
According to MotorTrend, the 2026 Pilot will receive exciting updates in the 2026 model like: a larger touchscreen infotainment system, a larger 10.2-inch digital driver display on more than just the top two trims, and subtle styling changes including new wheel styles. Here’s what MotorTrend says about refreshed tech on the new Pilot:
Refreshed exterior cues that refine the Pilot’s athletic look while preserving the family-friendly three-row proportions are potentially on the table for 2026. Inside, the 2026 model could push for a more premium feel in upper trims — wider-format infotainment displays, improved materials, ambient lighting, and thoughtful storage solutions like stowable second-row seating. In terms of the engine, Consumer Reports was one of many outlets praising the 2025 Pilot’s engine, saying they “enjoy its smooth and powerful V6 engine.” Just worth noting, the 2025 Pilot offers a 3.5-liter V-6 engine that makes 285 horsepower and is mated to a 10-speed automatic.
“On the road, the Pilot feels refined and offers confidence-inspiring steering and braking,” says Car and Driver’s Kristin Shaw on the 2025 Pilot.
Honda Sensing is expected to remain central to the Pilot lineup with possible sensor and software refinements that make driver assistance more capable and more widely standard. If you need a three-row SUV today, the 2025 Pilot delivered proven capability, safety tech, and towing strength; if you can wait for incremental style and tech upgrades, the 2026 refresh could be worth it.
