The Pilot is the solid choice for families who prioritize space over sportiness.

Spacious three-row seating · Strong V6 performance
Third row is kids-only territory · Fuel economy lags behind rivals

The 2026 Honda Pilot is the quintessential family SUV, defined by its cavernous interior and Honda's rock-solid reliability. With its smooth V6 engine, it's ready to haul the crew whether you're heading to the grocery store or embarking on a cross-country road trip. What surprised us was how comfortable and tech-friendly the cabin is—Honda's infotainment system is intuitive, even for the less tech-savvy among us. However, don't expect to carve corners with this big boy; its handling is more cruiser than canyon carver. If you're looking for a spacious, no-fuss ride and don't mind the slightly thirsty fuel economy, the Pilot is your go-to. Families who need the extra room will appreciate the practicality, but if you're seeking driving thrills, you might want to look elsewhere.

Our pick: EX-L ($45,000)
vs. Toyota 4Runner: The Pilot wins on interior space and tech features, while the 4Runner offers better off-road capabilities.
