2025 Honda Pilot Engine Options

Every 2025 Honda Pilot trim is equipped with a 3.5L V6 engine paired with a ten-speed automatic transmission. This combination delivers 285 horsepower for all your adventures — from your routine runs around town to your dream vacation. Front-wheel drive (FWD) is standard, and a second-generation Intelligent Variable Torque Management™ (i-VTM4™) all-wheel drive (AWD) system is available. FWD models include normal, econ, snow, tow, and sport drive modes, and AWD models add trail and sand drive modes.

If you’re looking for an SUV with enhanced all-terrain capability, the Pilot TrailSport is designed for you. A variety of unique, rugged design elements keep you moving confidently over rough terrain. It all starts with the standard i-VTM4™ AWD system supplemented with Trail Torque Logic, which monitors each wheel and can deliver torque to the front or rear wheel with traction when the other leaves the ground.
