What size screen is the Honda Pilot?
The Honda Pilot’s infotainment display is typically 8 inches in older models, with a larger 9-inch screen available on newer trims and model years. The exact size depends on the year and trim, so check the specific vehicle you’re considering.
Overview by era
Below is a guide to the screen sizes you might encounter when researching or shopping for a Pilot. Exact dimensions can vary by year and trim, so verify on the window sticker or in the owner’s manual for the precise specification.
Older generations (roughly 2019–2021)
During this period, Honda typically used an 8-inch Display Audio touchscreen as the standard infotainment screen. Some trims offered navigation as part of the package or upgrade.
- Screen size: 8 inches
- Compatibility: Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are supported; most trims require a wired connection, with wireless capability introduced on select configurations in later years.
In this era, the 8-inch screen was common across most trims, with navigation available as an option on higher-trim models.
Newer generation and refresh (roughly 2022–present)
Honda updated the Pilot’s interior in the latest refresh to a larger touchscreen in many trims. A 9-inch Display Audio touchscreen is now widely used, with some trims still offering an 8-inch unit in certain configurations or markets, depending on the model year.
- Screen size: 9 inches (standard on many higher trims; 8 inches on some base configurations in certain markets/years)
- Features: Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are supported—often wireless on newer trims; built-in navigation may be available on select trims
As a result, if you want the bigger screen, target a more recent model year or a higher trim, and confirm the exact size with the dealer or the vehicle’s documentation.
What to check for your specific vehicle
Because screen size can vary by trim and year, always verify the exact specification for the specific vehicle you’re considering. Check the window sticker, the infotainment system’s settings screen, or the owner’s manual to confirm the screen size, wireless CarPlay capability, and whether navigation is built in.
Summary
The Honda Pilot typically features an 8-inch infotainment screen in older generations, with a 9-inch touchscreen becoming common in newer models and higher trims. If you prefer the larger display, focus on more recent model years or higher trims and verify the exact size before purchasing.
