2010 Midsize SUV : Honda Pilot

honda-pilot1

Honda’s flagship SUV is completely redesigned for the 2009 model with a host of new features and upgrades. This is the biggest SUV produced by Honda and at 5952 lbs it’s no lightweight. However, compared to some of the American truck based SUVs it should be considered mid-size. Honda does not have much in store for 2010 as it is completely redesigned the 2009 model. The Pilot is very boxy and upright from most angles on the exterior but is more car-like SUV in this category.

It is a three row which comfortably seats eight adults plus enough room for cargo. The Pilot seats eight in three standard rows of seats. Other interior options include DVD entertainment, Bluetooth, satellite radio, tri-zone climate control, leather seats, and rearview camera (EX-L only). A real cool fact in the Pilot it has hidden under-floor storage area which can hold 2.8 cu ft of valuables. This is by far the best buy crossover’s amalgamation of performance, utility, and passenger accommodations make it commendable of a high place on your shopping list.

The creative Pilot was a huge success and redefined the mid-size SUV category by offering never before seen levels of comfort and ability. Now other producers have caught up so Honda has disappeared on the offensive with a new improved model. The Pilot seats compete with crossovers like the Toyota Highlander, Mazda CX-9 and GMC Acadia SUVs.
