Entertainment features are to die for: Honda Satellite-Linked navigation System with voice recognition and 7-inch screen, and a Honda DVD Entertainment System with 9-inch screen.
To avoid the difficulty in viewing the rear end prevalent with SUVs, Honda made an efficient solution with the use of a standard rear-view camera.
The Honda Pilot is also equipped with a tough suspension system that provides comfort in driving. Included in the chassis are power-assisted 4-wheel disc brakes, variable power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering and 16-inch alloy wheels with all-season P235/70 R16 tires.
