Honda Pilot
Honda now has two midsize SUVs in its lineup with the Pilot and Passport. The former is larger and more spacious, with third-row seats making it possible to accommodate up to eight people total. Under the hood is a 3.5-litre V6 producing 280 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. Shifting is handled by a nine-speed automatic transmission. The base six-speed unit offered in 2020 is not back for 2021.
