Used 2020 Honda Pilot SUV Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The Honda Pilot comes in six primary trim levels: LX, EX, EX-L, Touring, Elite and Black Edition. All models are powered by a 3.5-liter V6 (280 horsepower, 262 lb-ft of torque). A six-speed automatic transmission is standard for most trims, while a nine-speed transmission comes with Touring and above models. Front-wheel drive is standard on lower trims, with all-wheel drive standard on Elite and Black Edition models and optional on other trims.
Which Pilot trim does Edmunds recommend?
Though all Pilot trims have strong merits, we suggest going with either the EX or the EX-L. The EX is a significant step up from the base LX and adds desirable tech features such as Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and a touchscreen. The EX-L costs more, but a case can be made for it. You get leather upholstery plus some family-useful extras such as an auto-dimming mirror (helps reduce glare at night) and second-row USB ports to ensure your kiddos' electronics are topped off at all times.
