Driver-selectable Eco Assist mode allows you to optimize overall efficiency during routine commutes. Supporting this powertrain is an independent suspension layout with front MacPherson struts and a multi-link rear setup, delivering a smooth ride over uneven road surfaces. Additional control comes from front vented disc brakes, electronic stability control, and speed-sensitive electric power steering.

Inside the quiet cabin, the 2019 Honda Pilot EX-L keeps every passenger connected and entertained.
