How many miles can a Honda Pilot go on a full tank?
A Honda Pilot with a typical 19.5-gallon fuel tank can travel about 430–530 miles on a full tank, depending on the trim, drivetrain, and driving conditions. In mixed city and highway use, most drivers see roughly 430–450 miles, while sustained highway driving can push the range toward the mid-500s.
Fuel tank capacity and efficiency
The following figures reflect recent Honda Pilot models (roughly 2020–2024) and show both the tank size and EPA-rated fuel economy by drivetrain. Keep in mind that actual mileage depends on many factors, including load, terrain, and weather.
Before listing the numbers, note that the data below cover the most common configuration for current Pilots and are intended to provide a practical guide for planning trips.
- Fuel tank capacity: 19.5 gallons (73.8 liters).
- EPA-rated economy by drivetrain:
- Front-Wheel Drive (FWD): 20 mpg city / 27 mpg highway / 23 mpg combined.
- All-Wheel Drive (AWD): 19 mpg city / 26 mpg highway / 22 mpg combined.
These figures translate into practical range estimates that help with trip planning, but real-world results will vary with driving style and conditions.
Estimated range by driving condition
To translate mpg into miles, multiply the mpg by the 19.5-gallon tank. The following estimates assume current-generation Pilots and standard EPA numbers for FWD and AWD configurations.
- FWD, combined driving (23 mpg): about 447–449 miles on a full tank (~19.5 × 23 = 448.5 miles).
- AWD, combined driving (22 mpg): about 429 miles on a full tank (~19.5 × 22 = 429 miles).
- FWD, highway driving (27 mpg): about 527 miles on a full tank (~19.5 × 27 = 526.5 miles).
- AWD, highway driving (26 mpg): about 507 miles on a full tank (~19.5 × 26 = 507 miles).
- FWD, city driving (20 mpg): about 390 miles on a full tank (~19.5 × 20 = 390 miles).
- AWD, city driving (19 mpg): about 371 miles on a full tank (~19.5 × 19 = 370.5 miles).
Real-world results will vary, but these figures offer a solid framework for estimating how far a Pilot can travel between fill-ups under common driving scenarios.
Summary
In summary, a current Honda Pilot with a 19.5-gallon tank can typically cover roughly 390–390 miles in city driving for AWD, up to about 527 miles on highway runs for FWD, and about 429–449 miles in mixed driving depending on the drivetrain. For planning purposes, expect roughly 430–450 miles in typical use, with highway trips potentially exceeding 500 miles if you optimize speed and conditions.
