The 2011 Honda Pilot returns with navigation now available on the EX-L trim level. Included with the touring model is a backseat entertainment system. The Pilot offers a pleasant ride, roomy third-row seat, smooth V6, convenient interior storage features, and perfect crash test scores.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2011 Honda Pilot is a midsize crossover SUV offered in four trim levels: LX, EX, EX-L and Touring. Each is available with either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The LX comes standard with keyless entry, rear privacy glass, a trailer hitch, automatic headlights, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, cruise control, front and rear air-conditioning, 60/40-split second- and third-row seats, and a seven-speaker audio system with an auxiliary audio jack and CD/MP3 player.
The EX trim level adds features such as 17-inch alloy wheels, foglights, painted body molding (versus black plastic), roof rails, heated exterior mirrors, an eight-way power driver seat (with two-way power lumbar), steering-wheel audio controls, tri-zone automatic climate control, an in-dash six-CD changer, and satellite radio.
The EX-L upgrades to leather upholstery and steering wheel, heated front seats, power passenger seat, a sunroof, increased sound deadening, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror with integrated back-up camera. Optional on the EX-L is a rear-seat DVD entertainment system and a voice-activated navigation system bundled with Bluetooth, an iPod interface and a 10-speaker premium audio system.
Both the EX-L's optional features are included on the high-end Touring model, which further adds a power liftgate, tire-pressure indicators, driver memory functions and rear-window sunshades.
Powertrains and Performance
The 2011 Honda Pilot from our Honda dealer near Auburn is motivated by a 3.5-liter V6 that generates 250 horsepower and 253 pound-feet of torque. A five-speed automatic is the only available transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, but all Pilot models are available with an all-wheel-drive system that automatically apportions power to the rear wheels ? up to 70 percent ? when front slippage occurs. This system also has a driver-selectable "lock" feature that routes maximum torque to the rear wheels at speeds below 19 mph.
Safety
Standard safety equipment includes stability control, front-seat side airbags, antilock brakes and full-length side curtain airbags.
In government crash tests, the Pilot performed flawlessly, scoring a perfect five stars in frontal and side-impact testing, and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety likewise awarded the Pilot its top "Good" rating for both frontal-offset and side-impact crashes.
Interior Design and Special Features
Like many current Honda vehicles, the center stack is packed with small buttons and controls. Operation of these controls is made a bit easier by a logical layout.
The Pilot also keeps stride with the competition with its roomy third-row
seats. Both children and passengers can fit comfortably in the second and third
rows. With the second and third row seats stowed, the 2011 Honda Pilot can hold
up to 87 cubic feet of cargo. For smaller items, there are plenty of thoughtful
storage bins and pockets throughout the cabin.
All of this and more is what you'll get for your money if you purchase the 2011 Honda Pilot from McConnell Honda, your Alabama Honda Dealer.
