Will the Honda Pilot change in 2024?
No major redesign was introduced for the 2024 Honda Pilot; the model carries over its current generation with incremental updates to features and trims.
Context: The Pilot’s current generation
The Honda Pilot’s latest redesign arrived with the current generation introduced for the 2023 model year, building on Honda’s long-standing family-friendly SUV formula. It uses a three-row layout with seating for up to eight passengers, and it offers front- or all-wheel drive depending on configuration. Power comes from Honda’s traditional V6 engine paired with an automatic transmission, prioritizing interior space, practicality, and versatile cargo-toting capabilities for everyday use and family life.
What changed for 2024
For 2024, Honda did not announce a new generation of the Pilot. Instead, it rolled out incremental improvements across the lineup, focusing on technology, safety, and convenience rather than a wholesale redesign. Buyers could expect updates such as more extensive standard connectivity and driver-assistance features, along with refinements to interior materials and trim packages. Exterior styling tweaks were limited, with color options and trim-level adjustments rather than a full refresh of the vehicle’s design.
Powertrain and performance
The 2024 Pilot continues with Honda’s established V6 powertrain paired with an automatic transmission, with front- or all-wheel drive configurations depending on trim. No hybrid or plug-in variant for the 2024 model year; performance characteristics remained in line with the prior year’s version.
Interior and technology
Inside, the Pilot maintains seating for up to eight and emphasizes practicality for families. Tech updates for 2024 center on connectivity, with wireless smartphone integration (Apple CarPlay and Android Auto) available across trims and improved infotainment responsiveness. Higher trims and packages offer larger touchscreen displays and optional premium audio or rear-seat entertainment options.
Trims, pricing and availability
Pricing and trim structure for 2024 followed the established lineup, with no official announcement of a significant price increase tied to a new generation. Availability depended on regional allocations and dealer stock. Prospective buyers should check with local Honda dealers for current inventory, pricing, and optional packages.
Summary
Bottom line: the 2024 Honda Pilot did not receive a ground-up redesign. It offered incremental improvements focused on technology, safety, and refinement while retaining the core design, space, and powertrain of the previous year. If a significantly refreshed model is desired, look to future generations as Honda continues its product cadence.
