Third generation Honda Pilot. Received a revolutionary design, combining smooth and elegant body lines and improved aerodynamic characteristics. From its predecessor, the crossover did not inherit practically nothing.
Absolutely new
Slender as cypress, the successor in size is even a little more, plus here a little stretched the wheelbase. Inside, it is still incredibly much space, so much that, surprised by this fact, perhaps, hear the echo! And sitting on the third row, not to see the time on the clock of a new huge multimedia system on the instrument panel. But all this is a lyrics on the background of quantity seating. How much is there under the category in falls? Eight? So much here they are still equipped.Front two - Cabin pilots of the aircraft: places in excess, ventilation seats and other joys of life. In the second row with comfort, two - the benefit and the back of the sofa are adjustable in the corner, and the pillow goes back and forth. But it can be completely safely to sit and three adults, and at least in the far road: Yes, the shoulders will be in contact, but the footsteps are enough, and most importantly, there is an entertainment system with its own screen, which leans from the ceiling. So that once again We do not complain about life - no time! What is there in the third row?
Relatively. Even adult passengers are accomplished here perfectly humanly: they sit, slightly throwing back, not too fading her knees and even more or less naturally placing the feet on the floor - the benefit of them can be added under the sofa of the second row. But three adult passengers here so that neither spoke in Honda about the trifle of this sofa, of course, do not sit down. Well, okay - but even behind this sofa remains a place for some Skarba. And if you remove the sids of the third row to the floor, it seems to be placed here, not the fact that the bike is a pair of scooters!
(Banner_adsense-300x250) just do not laugh - the scooters can really come in handy. The guys from Honda equipped the crossover Pilot with new suspension, more sharp steering. The car has become a maneuvering of the previous one, but ... after all, his element is not small towns with close streets, but a distant road! Yes, it is still here, on the highway, Pilot is revealed from the best sides.
The endless interior is also strikingly quiet, three-zone climate control is sensitive, accurate, and cute chairs are really comfortable even in a long road. And how is the stele? Do not swing the crew, will not shake once again. Not a car - motor ship! How rulits this boat?
The new generation of Pilot little is similar to the ancestor not only externally, but also internally. The main advantage of past models that Honda engineers have retained in the present, - body carrying. This SUV size with a truck is built on all construction canons. passenger carsThis is especially true of suspension and steering, and most importantly - everything is completely re-configured. Pilot rides, respectively, from now on quite different.
Reactions to steering steering purchased passenger speed And even branded for Honda models. The giant body now almost does not dance even at good speed and on a broken road. The huge car is not particularly swinging and in the bundles of alternating turns. In a word, against the background of the last generation of the model is in action ... Honda CR-V! More precisely, its lighter and balanced version with a junior double-liter motor.
By the way, developed in the USA new crossover Pilot, crossing the ocean, as and sometime CR-V, also changed force aggregate. So, instead of the declared global gasoline atmospheric motor with a capacity of 3.5 l with a capacity of almost 300 hp Under the hood, a smaller unit appeared - without a small three liter with a reduced capacity: 249 hp A pair of aggregate will be a six-speed automatic. Tandem showed itself incredibly well-coordinated: neither a dertex at startup, no jerks when switching gear ... literally one mechanism! Although not from the world of sports - despite the rather humble mass for an SUV, a huge Mahine is lucky, which is called, without sparking. Accelerating, every time you think: here's here ... no, not a global V6 power under 300 "horses". Diesel! At the same time, the consumption would be to reduce much more significant than when the cylinder shutdown system is implemented.
Behavior of off-road
Past generation Pilot was criticized for the modesty of the potential of off-road. The second time to attack these rakes of the guys from Honda did not. New system full drive It is built on the basis of electromagnetic coupling in rear axle, but using everything in the same bridge instead of differential ... two couplings! One of the need includes the rear right wheel, the other is left. Include very comfortable, smoothly. And very to the place: on the road, the system helps a huge SUV to be triggered by pulling by the moment the rear outer wheel. And on the off-road ...We happened to Pilot climbing a cool mountain on a wet rocky trail, to force the clay lifts after the rain, loosen the sand on the beach, ride the coastal line on the water ... No element was able to stop the stronger and in a new handsome crossover . This is a Honda Pilot new, higher class!
Features
Screen without complaints: the picture is clear, sensor sensor. By the way, before the start of sales of the model, the complex will equip Yandex-navigator! These programs are constantly updated, so car holders will always be aware of traffic jams, new junctions and trails, reconstructions and road events.The conceptual flap of instruments turned out to be very convenient: the numbers on large scales, pictograms visual, well drawn. Excellent!
The volume of the trunk with the backs of the third row - 305 liters. But in the five-minute interior configuration - 800 with superfluous! The salon is so big that from the second row is almost impossible to see the display of the multimedia system on the instrument panel. But not trouble. Over the second there is a DVD player monitor (optional)!
Globally, Pilot is equipped with atmospheric gasoline V6 3.5 with a capacity of 290 hp and a 9-speed automaton. However, specifically for Russia, this unit was replaced by 3 l v6. Of course, it is salary - 249 hp But it is more profitable for taxes, and still without any problems assimilate the domestic AI-92. The motor is working in a pair with a very adequate and terminated six-speed automatic box.
conclusions
Stylish appearance, high-quality and spacious interior with a mass of comfort-options, a fairly powerful and not too voracious motor, tested, adequate six-speed automatic. Again a full drive! It seems all over it turns out that Honda Pilot is a good car!What is good box with a sliding curtain between the front seats - a mini trunk! There will be a tablet computer, and boretus with documents, and the lady's handbag, and a package of fast food, packed with hamburgers. Drinks will no longer fit, but for them in the cabin as much as eight cup holders.
And in the depths of the car there are "household" wiring. At the bottom of the center console, USB, HDMI and cigarette lighter connectors are mounted. Inside the tank between the front seats, another USB, linear input AUX and a 12 volt socket. Two outlets for headphones are connected to the rear passengers, two not transmitting USB-jack data for the charge of external devices and audio / video input RCA. Rich! And that's not it. Before the driver and front passenger is a multimedia system monitor based on Android OS. Here even the Yandex. Navigator application works in the full version. The inhabitants of the two rear rows addressed to the entertainment system with a nine-seam display and a remote control. remote control. It is really furnished apartments, not just a room.
Seat leather on all machines. If children are nimused, clean the skin is easier than fabric. The length of the cabin and the adjusting range is enough with a margin - three adult growth under the meter ninety can sit at each other quite comfortable. But the width is missing: Troy broadly in any of the rear rows will be closely.
Ride but not stick
Pilot will supply to Russia only with V-shaped gasoline "six" with a capacity of 249 hp and six-speed automatic box. In the tank you can pour 92th gasoline.
Before you get to our market, the car passed the test cycle in the Russian outback, after which significant changes were made: the suspension was reconfigured, the clien was increased, the noise insulation was improved, the all-wheel drive transmission acquired a purely Russian "dirt" mode, the brake discs appeared, the steering, seats appeared second row I. windshield In the parking area of \u200b\u200bthe wiper brushes.
I had a chance to ride a pilot on the mountain serpents of Armenia. I will say right away: the car, who defeated this reserve of a broken asphalt, does not save with us. Even torrential rain was not frightened. Large puddles, in front of which the passenger cars are discarded, Pilot takes playing: two-ton mahu is not pulling to the side, even when the wheels of only one side fall into deep water.
Motor is very alive, but his acne is constrained by a slow box. You give the pedal to the floor - and long wait for the transmission reaction. But there is no possibility to switch transmission itself. The claimed consumption of B. mixed cycle - 10.4 l / 100 km. After departure from Yerevan, the highway movements and the mountain serpentine turned out if you believe the route computer, 10.8 liters.
A-American suspension is soft - long-selling and comfortable. Only muffled tire slaps on the seams and asphalt joints are heard. Shock absorbers Manufacturer calls amplitude-reactive. Do not be afraid: they only reduce body splits on large irregularities and turns. Pilot copes with a stalk repair and small fraction of Pilot. On the fights and pits, too, without any problems. In the small move, Pilot smoothly rolls over the obstacles, and it seems that the stroke of the suspension is huge. But, as it turned out, the stroke for compression is not so great. Through the ridges on the field and transverse asphalt waves - only Clear. We will go faster - wait for shocks during the past.
The new all-wheel drive transmission with individual onboard clips of the rear wheels allows you to implement a dynamic distribution of torque. In theory, it is better than traditional 4 × 4 schemes on asphalt and is not inferior to them on off-road. But in practice, it is not so easy to cope with diagonal hanging. Test route with deep brod, lifts and floors are passed without comments. And after the finish line one front wheel On a small primer crest, she rested into the bodily, the other snapped - and no clutches helped the rear wheels to push the car forward. Antiscolic system Does not allow to go with active slip! I had to take back.
And when on the sandy expanses, I turned the steering wheel a little cooler, Pilot began to lose weight. Gas to the floor, and he does not go! I tried in different modes - in vain. None in any system of stabilization and control of thrust is not turned off completely and stifled the engine. How so? Hondovtsy said that at pre-seventive samples are belligent - they say, everything will work on commercial cars.
Pilot is a powerful crossover, but not mighty "passable." On the soil, he really lacks manual gear shift. And try not to get stuck on it. Why? No back towing eye! It will take to pull - for what to cling? Not for the seven of the same pusher, what is sitting in the "apartment", to calculate the driver. They say, and this pre-seventure costs: there will be either eyelet or a hitch. And in the front, it is not chib to the convincing loop: getting to it is not so simple, and when towing the cable will certainly damage the lower part of the bumper.
And yet Pilot is an excellent family car. And family idyll implies life, complete love and tenderness, without difficult worries and struggle. On any roads - and asphalt, and countrywood - Pilot fits into this concept. And to engage in it off-Road the owner will not become - he experienced motorist.
A PLUS: Gadgets of all passengers will be charged MINUS: What to pull, if stuck?
Test a new Honda Pilot: what to pull if stuck?
The new Pilot is pretty more angular predecessor. Even the grille of the radiator and edging windows "under chrome" do not spoil impressions. In Russia, a large crossover will be launched on sale under the motto "Your Eight-Room Apartments". Hint of comfortable conditions for the whole family?
Test new Honda. Pilot: What to pull, if stuck?Today we will get acquainted with the new generation of large crossovers from the Japanese giant Honda -Pilot.Immediately admit that it was very nice to test this car, because he, like no other, corresponds to the word "comfortable". I didn't even want to go out! Of course, the price will please not many, but in general, the crossover justifies its price tag: from 1 million 799 thousand to 2 million 99 thousand rubles.
It is noteworthy that initially Honda.Pilot 2016.was designed for the US market, but the versatility and the practicality of the car helped to win the heart of motorists not only in distant America. And we all understand perfectly well how difficult it is to meet the requirements of completely different automotive markets. This once again confirms the truly high quality of the "pilot"! Japanese engineers tried to transfer all the best and in a new generation of crossovers, adding several pleasant features.
New Design and EquipmentHonda.Pilot.
Pilot is ready to conquer any conditions!
Definitely previous generations Honda.Pilot.were very popular in certain regions, but some shortcomings still had a place to be. For example, too sullen design and weak ergonomics. Now, at first glance at updated crossover, you just do not recognize it. He became truly stylish and attractive. But we do not exclude the fact that "there is no taste and color of comrades", and therefore the former brutal forms can cause nostalgia in someone.
However, the interior must please everyone! All last year's minuses are reduced to "no": no coarse and simple materials, no stupid buttons, nothing cheap. Now, falling inside, you will feel at home. Each little thing was reworked for the better, and the materials are replaced with softer and high-quality. Some words are worthy of new chairs that have become wider and have good rigidity. With such seats you can travel for long and comfort.
Fortunately, Japanese engineers were able to introduce many technological solutions without disturbing the overall comfort and comfort.
Honda.Pilot 2016.improved in terms of ergonomics. All buttons are placed in those places to which it is easy to reach and which are not lost in the "Dead Zone". The steering wheel is equipped with a new control panel and got a comfortable convex form. Of course, a multimedia system with a touch screen and buttons that can be found in almost every modern car, needs to be mastered, because not everyone is familiar to using such devices, and even on the go! And it costs to get used to it, because in the near future promise support for the Special program "Yandex. Navigator", which can pave the route, avoiding traffic jams.
Your passengers will like connectivity various devices and climate control.
This holiday does not end! As we have already noted above, new interior materials are pleased with the eye and are soft plastic and skin. That's why new Salon There is no comparison with last year.
Internal volume updated Honda.Pilot 2016.more than more! Imagine, last year's version was and so among the most spacious crossovers, and there is even more place! The dimensions of the car increased as follows: Length is 79 mm, width by 2 mm, wheelbase by 40 mm!
It is immediately noticeable that the free space for the rear passengers on 2 and 3 row has become much more.
The renewed body design itself allowed to expand the free space for passengers on the second row, especially for the legs. And the third row will be able to place not only children, but also adults with small dimensions. However, the third row is still not very convenient and is suitable for traveling for short distances.
Very pleased the fact that an increase indoor space did not affect the volume luggage compartment. Moreover, a free space with the rear-raised rear side has increased to 305 liters against 217 liters in the previous version! For 5-seater Honda.Pilot.available even more volume in the amount of 827 l! So, you can ride the cottber bags without work.
By the way, Honda Pilot is not only convenient family crossover, but also truly modern car. It is equipped with climate control, different illumination and heating functions, a variety of different places to store small things and connections for USB, HDMI, RCA and charging for 12V. In general, if we talk briefly, there is everything. And no passenger will be bored, evenly, like children.
PerformanceHonda.Pilot.
The crossover is not bad on the road. But there is one minus: there will be unavailable in Russia top equipment With an engine with a 3.5 l and 9-speed automatic transmission. It will replace another, less impressive power supply with a volume of 3.0 liters and a 6-speed "automatic".
However, this option fully justifies expectations. Power point Equipped with a branded system that changes the phase of gas distribution, as well as the function of disconnecting unnecessary cylinders to increase fuel economy. Thus, the pilot can work with 3, 4 or 6 cylinders! This modernization made it possible to reduce consumption to 14.3 liters per 100 km, if you believe in passport data. And acceleration is 9.1 s to 100 km / h.
Even more surprises the fact that during testing, Honda.Pilot2016not disappointed and fully corresponded to its stated statistics. And without the big weight of the car was slightly increased, but it did not affect the performance and acceleration. Of course, for fancy ride fans, such a crossover will not suit, as it is aimed primarily on high comfort and smooth ride.
By the way, the insulation of the pilot at the highest level. If you do not strongly press the gas pedal, then you will not feel any irregularities or jolts, and there is no vibration and noise completely. But on high revolutionsThe situation will change for the worse. Notable rolls, engine noise and a peculiar suspension, which will respond to any roughness - all this will appear with a sharp increase in speed. Thus, the crossover is better to use directly on the destination and do not try to squeeze out of it, for which it is not suitable.
Compensates the above minuses Honda.Pilot 2016.conquer off-road conditions. Of course, this is not a purebred SUV, but do not have to complain about low passability. This contributes to I. ground clearance In the amount of 20 cm, the IVTM-4 full drive system, which can control the thrust vector and redirect the effort to the free wheel in difficult situations.
Help solve various problems will help accessible modes: standard, dirt, sand, snow. With proper skills and skills, these settings will help to get out of many unpleasant situations. But no need to overestimate Honda Pilot and rely on modern programs. This is not a full-fledged SUV and it must be remembered! After all, the dimensions and features of the crossover can put you in a very awkward position, if you try to squeeze something more from it.
RESULTS
Updated crossover Honda.Pilot 2016.does not shine speed, power or off-road qualities. However, this is a very comfortable and modern car that can greatly cope with the duties. family car. He will post a large number of passengers, will not allow them to get bored and will not force them to suffer from noise and vibrations. Decent choice!
