Does the Honda Pilot have a power outlet?
Yes. All current Honda Pilot models include at least one 12-volt power outlet, and higher trims offer a 115-volt AC power outlet in the cargo area for powering larger devices.
Power outlets overview
The Honda Pilot provides two types of outlets, with availability varying by trim level. The base capability is a standard 12V outlet, while a 115V AC outlet is available on higher trims for additional power needs.
- 12-volt power outlet: standard on all trims for charging phones, GPS devices, dash cams, and similar electronics.
- 115-volt AC power outlet: available on higher trims (such as EX-L, Touring, and Elite) and located in the cargo area, suitable for laptops and small appliances up to about 150 watts.
In practice, this means you can keep everyday devices charged on any Pilot, and you can run small electronics from the 115V outlet if you choose a higher-trim model.
Where to find the outlets
Outlet locations can vary a bit by model year and trim, but these placements are common across recent Honda Pilot configurations.
- Front cabin: a 12V outlet located in the center console area for easy access from the driver and front passenger.
- Rear/cargo area: on higher trims, a 115V AC outlet is typically installed in the cargo space for use with larger devices; some trims may also offer an additional 12V outlet in the rear seating area.
Knowing the typical locations helps with planning device use during trips or camping scenarios.
What it can power
Power-outlet capability depends on the outlet type and the device’s wattage. The 12V outlet handles most smaller accessories, while the 115V outlet supports larger electronics within its limit.
- 12V outlet: phone chargers, dash cams, portable air pumps, small adapters, and similar 12V devices.
- 115V AC outlet (≈150W): laptops, certain chargers, small appliances, and other devices that draw under about 150 watts.
Always check your device’s wattage and the Pilot’s manual for exact limits to prevent overloading the circuit.
Summary
The Honda Pilot offers practical charging options: a standard 12V outlet on all trims for everyday devices, plus a 115V AC outlet in the cargo area on higher trims for light-power needs during travel. If you rely on a particular outlet, verify your specific trim and model year to confirm exact availability and location.
Additional details by model year
Outlet availability can shift slightly between model years. For precise information on a specific Pilot year and trim, consult Honda’s official specifications or your dealer, and reference the owner’s manual for the exact outlet locations and wattage limits.
