Passenger & Cargo Dimensions

The Honda Pilot is standardly equipped with eight spacious seats—two seats up front, and three seats each in the second and third rows. Each seat offers plenty of wiggle room with the following interior dimensions:

	First Row	Second Row	Third Row
Headroom	40.1 inches	40.2 inches	38.9 inches
Hip Room	59.1 inches	57.3 inches	44.6 inches
Legroom	40.9 inches	38.4 inches	31.9 inches
Shoulder Room	62 inches	62 inches	57.6 inches
Cargo Room Behind Specified Row	83.9 cubic feet	46.8 cubic feet	16.5 cubic feet

With standard 60/40 split, flat-folding third-row bench seats, as well as available One-Touch second-row seats, you’ll be able to customize your cargo space to meet your specific needs. With all three rows upright, you’ll have plenty of space for school bags and groceries. If you’re heading out for a weekend escape, you’ll be able to fold down the rear two seats with ease to fit bulky camping equipment or luggage.

Even when your hands are full of bags, loading up will be easy thanks to an available hands-free tailgate. There’s no need to put your items down or wriggle a hand free. Just wave your foot under the rear bumper and the tailgate will open so you can load up quickly and easily.

Interior Colors & Comfort 

In addition to having plenty of space for both passengers and cargo, all the Honda Pilot trim levels provide you with a variety of interior personalization and comfort features. For instance, the eight seats of the Pilot are standardly upholstered with comfortable gray cloth that can be replaced with gray leather.

You can also opt for a number of other seating upgrades, including heated front seats to keep you cozy during the chilly winter months. You can also opt for perforated and ventilated front seats to keep you cool on those hot summer days.

The first row doesn’t hog all the comfort, though, since this model also offers available second-row captain’s chairs as well. The standard Tri-Zone Automatic Climate Control System with Humidity Control and Air Filtration helps to create an inviting cabin for everyone by allowing you to set not one, not two, but three independent temperature preferences—everyone will be happy throughout the ride, no matter the outside conditions.

Top-Notch Entertainment

For both convenience and entertainment, the 2021 Honda Pilot offers an available 8-inch touch-screen display audio system that combines Bluetooth®, SMS Text Message Function, smartphone app integration via Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and turn-by-turn navigation. Smartphone compatibility allows you to pair your device by simply plugging it into the USB port. You’ll then gain instant access to an array of apps, including your curated music library.

Still, the Pilot doesn’t stop there. Opt for the available Advanced Rear Entertainment System, which offers a Blu-Ray™ player in the rear. This system even offers an available second-row HDMI interface for easier entertainment on the go. With so much entertainment for the back rows, you won’t have to worry about bored passengers asking you how long until you get there.

If you ever have the need to talk to someone in the back while they’re watching a movie, you can make use of the available Cabin Talk® In-Car PA System. This feature allows you to speak to your passengers through your infotainment screen. Simply activate Cabin Talk® and speak. The system will pause the movie audio and video and project your voice through the headphones—ensuring your kids never miss out on a vital piece of information from you.

Finally, drivers who enjoy hearing every little detail of their favorite songs should be sure to take a look at the available 10-speaker, 590-watt premium audio system. This robust speaker system makes full use of the acoustics offered by this SUV’s spacious cabin.

Convenience Technology

Drivers who spend a lot of time on the go want to have a vehicle that makes their life easier with added convenience. The Honda Pilot does just this with a wealth of comfort and convenience features, all designed to help turn your SUV into something of a home away from home.

Take, for example, the available mobile hotspot capability added in the Touring, Elite, and Black Edition trims. This feature allows you to access the Internet on the road with ease, so you can download your favorite podcasts or stream audio without using your phone’s data. By doing so, you can keep your passengers entertained without their tying up too much data as well.

Of course, you need to keep your phone charged, and to make that easier, this vehicle also offers an available Wireless Phone Charger. This built-in charging pad is everything you need to keep your phone charged up while also providing a convenient place to store it, keeping your front seating area clean. There’s no need to remember your charger—just place your compatible device on the pad, and you’ll get the battery boost you need to power through the rest of your drive.

2021 Pilot Safety Features

These top-of-the-line features come on every model to help you stay protected on the fast-paced road—but for even greater peace of mind, the 2020 Honda Pilot offers other safety systems as well.

Advanced Active Safety

While everyone in your Pilot is enjoying the ride, you can count on a number of active safety features to keep you safe, such as the standard Multi-Angle Rearview Camera with Guidelines. This feature works similarly to a traditional rearview camera. However, it provides you with extra angles so you can get an even clearer view of what’s around you, and an unobstructed path to follow when backing down a driveway or out of a tight parking space.

For enhanced confidence on the road, you can also opt for the Blind Spot Information System with Cross Traffic Monitor. This feature works as your lookout, monitoring your side blind spots and warning you when another vehicle is detected so you know when it’s safe to leave your lane. You’ll get a hand when backing out of a parking spot as well when this feature detects approaching cars that may be out of sight.

Lastly, at night, you’ll be treated to Auto High-Beam Headlights. This feature intelligently toggles between high and low beams to provide you with a clearer view of what lies ahead. When another vehicle approaches, you’ll automatically switch to low beams so that everyone around you stays safer as well.
