Honda Pilot
While we wait for the next generation, Honda, in the meantime, decided to increase the standard equipment by adding a backup camera to all 2013 versions. A real eight-seater capable of towing up to 1,500 kg with the best fuel economy in its class keeps the competition anxious. The base model is front-wheel drive but an all-wheel drive system is available. The renowned 3.5l V6 with a fivespeed automatic transmission is the only powertrain available.
