great review! really helped in making my svu choice

Thanks for sharing the details

nice review. Thanks

Currently at a hotel waiting for the Georgia v Kentucky game. Have a black 2019 Touring Elite as a demonstrator. Drove 6 + hours from upstate SC on the interstate most of the time going up and downhill through the mountains. Best MPG was 24.6 which I thought was a bit lackluster. It is fairly heavy and has a 6 cylinder, but I thought the 9 speed would help. Previously drove a 2018 6 speed EX-L Pilot to Tennessee and the transmission in the mountains was eh. The visual difference and updates to the 2019 make a big difference in my opinion. Wnd the 9 speeds push button transmission isn't bad at all, but if you checking your parking by opening the door the car automatically throws itself in park.

While I do like the fact that this generation Pilot has a more modern design to it than previous generations, it does look pretty subduded especially compared to other entries in this class. (such as the Highlander, CX-9, etc) Bland minivan-like styling aside, these host of new updates for the Pilot should keep it competitive in this growing segment, until hopefully even better improvements will be lead for the next redesign (which I also hope will have handsome if not subduded styling). Cheers. :)

I don’t know why most channels make car videos of the top model, which not the choice of most buyers.. in Honda’s case most selling vehicles are EX & EXL not the Elite

Love my 2019 Honda pilot had it for a year now

As soon as they put a volume knob on the ridgeline I'm getting one. Hopefully this shows what's coming

6:12 When you sync the shutter speed with the wheels....

Mike, still rocking your Puget Sound heritage with your jacket, I see. ;)

Great review. Any chance of stating what will be the same or different on the 2019 Passport? I believe you were at the LA show. Honda isn't giving much. Honda may get surprised that Mazda is jumping ahead with the new CX5.

Glad they kept the push button transmission. It is so much easier to reach and use. No more just reaching over while keeping your eyes up. Let's make people look down to see what button to press.

Thanks

It looks exactly like my sibling's year old Pilot. This wasn't a redesign, it's just a minor facelift.

I liked this style of comparison.

Did they fix the transmission?

Graphics package on hood??

I have driven it couple times. I think it is ugly outside but a nice place to be inside. Definitely the best vehicle in its category. Funny, like Honda designers made sure it wouldn't look better than Acura MDX.

Sooo, the "S" really means SPORT MODE? I always thought it was specifically used for steep hill climbing and towing? And the "S" mode doesnt seem like it has 9 gears? Almost seems like it's got only 2-3 gears only. 🤷‍♂️

Nice

This is my dream car, but I couldn't afford anything but the Civic 2019 EXI brand new, but the civic is peppy and good on gas, way better than my Dad's 2009 corolla.

Y'all should do new vs old pilot

Was that a skx009?

Best review yet.. better than redline

You are forgetting black edition trim

I always want to give Honda credit for making a smart cross-over, but between this video and the slip test video, Honda has done nothing but developed a high ground clearance mini-van. This would be the perfect vehicle for a mother taking the soccer team to practice, but I don't think the AWD system is up to snuff to handle the foul weather that can plague the typical, Suburban driving, hockey mom in New England.

That outro though

6:12... is it just me or is the Pilot skidding down the road?????

When he opened the gas tank door......HOW did that get so filthy!?!?

I ought one touri mistake very very very rough ride

How come it has two different transmissions. Hmmmmmm

It's a minivan with regular doors.

Hate that button gear shifter 🚮🚮 Nd this is just a odyssey and the old generation looks way better

I rather see the lexus RX350 f sport

Wtf the wheels move but the design stays still i watched it a couple times they never moved and If You need more head room open the sun roof

Stop at the EX-L trim to avoid the stupid 9 speed.

The vehicle looks just like a mini-van and it still does for 2019.

I usually enjoy your videoes, but what’s the purpose of doing a video on a vehicle that hasn’t changed much

This car is a POS. 36K miles on my pilot and the transmission is going. Parts on "national backorder", been waiting 2 months, no loaner provided. Never again a Honda!

If the CRVs issues tell you anything avoid the Pilot

Pilot's never been a looker, but the 2018 looked better than this new one.

Still won't buy a vehicle that has the same transmission as a Nissan.

Garbage transmission will be failed in one year ..honda should be ban

I don't like Honda they are to slow I hard a Honda and I gave it away
