Does the Honda Pilot have stow and go seats?

No, the Honda Pilot does not have stow and go seats. The Pilot's second-row seats can fold and slide forward, but they do not fold completely into the floor like the "stow and go" seating found in some minivans and other SUVs.


Explaining the Honda Pilot's Seating Configuration


The Honda Pilot is a midsize SUV that seats up to eight passengers across three rows. The second-row seats in the Pilot can fold and slide forward to provide easier access to the third row, but they do not fold completely flat into the floor like the "stow and go" seats found in minivans such as the Chrysler Pacifica or Dodge Grand Caravan.


Instead, the Pilot's second-row seats can be folded down to create a flat cargo area, but they remain in place rather than stowing away. This provides good flexibility for carrying both passengers and cargo, but doesn't offer the same level of cargo space maximization as true stow and go seating.


Advantages and Disadvantages of the Pilot's Seating



  • Advantages: The Pilot's second-row seats provide good passenger comfort and flexibility, with the ability to slide and fold. This makes it easier to access the third row.

  • Disadvantages: The lack of stow and go seating means the Pilot doesn't offer the same level of cargo space maximization as some competitors when the second row is folded down.


Overall, the Honda Pilot's seating configuration prioritizes passenger comfort and flexibility over ultimate cargo capacity. While it doesn't have true stow and go seats, the Pilot's second-row seats still provide good versatility for both people and cargo.
