Honda Pilot. Price: from 3 214 900 p. On sale: since spring 2019
The recent update was not greatly affected by the car's appearance. Cancel your fingers! New bumper, another radiator grille, new design wheel disks And some decorative chrome elements. It is engage in that in the US a restyled "pilot" got a new multisective LED head optics and rear lamps with another pattern. The Russian version still shines by the linase headlights with LED closest light. There are no complaints to the near light, but the far is weak.
Pilot, despite its wide chrome "blades" of the radiator grille, leaving in the headlight blocks, looks like a kind of kind. And what else is needed for family car!! Slightly recessed 18-inch wheels only reinforce such an image. On the other hand, it is not in his appearance of something clinging look forcing once again Wrap, admire. Deflectors on the windows - amateurness from the dealer.
Dobryak is a keyword for assessing and understanding the "pilot." Temperament is manifested in the press on the gas pedal and the V-shaped six reaction, in a leisurely shift gear, in an easy effort on the steering wheel and soft suspension (McPherson Racks in front and multi-dimensional rear). Crossover, imposingly swaying in turns, digested almost all types of irregularities. Of course, except for large and illogical in the form of solid "lying policemen." Thick Bridgestone Dueler H / P Sport 245 / 60R18 filtering the smallers in the form of patches and cracks. "PBUM" - somewhere behind the thick layers of noise insulation, deaf departure of the pit on the pit is heard. Passengers slightly swung their heads, and the aircraft captain there is no reason to declare about the entrance to the turbulence zone.
The right mirror has a camera that follows the blind zone. The image is displayed on the screen when the right turn signal is turned on or forcibly.
In the US, the crossover is offered with an engine 3.5 V6I-VTEC (283 forces and 355 nm), working in a pair with a 9-speed automaton, for us - only with atmospheric V6 3.0 PI VTEC for 249 forces and 294 nm, plus a 6-speed automatic. But the tax is less!
The salon looks simple, unprofitable. Pleases with a lot of niccipples. Overteal deficiencies - unsuccessful dashboard design with deferred information screen on-board computer Multimedia system is used by the parameters.
The bunch of the motor and boxes as if set up with an eye on the fact that even when starting with a gas pedal to Paul, children on the second and third rows of "pilot" continued to sleep peacefully. The main thing, when switching from "Parking" to "Drive", do not miss below, in L, which, by the way, happened often.
V-shaped "six" pleasantly sounds on top of the top. Noble. But much more nicer that she feeds on 92th gasoline. On average, the city of Pilot consumed 15-17 l / 100 km, on the highway - 8-10 l / 100 km.
For the conquest of light off-road in the crossover arsenal - 200 millimeters road Suit, Redea and intelligent system full drive IVTM-4 C Four work modes: Standard, Snow, Dirt, Sand. But storming serious obstacles on the "pilot" still do not cost - the sinks are large, the rubber is unsuitable, and indeed, so big, family crossover Not about it.
For the entertainment of second and third row passengers, a 9-inch folding screen with a wireless remote control is provided.
At the Pilot on the passport eight places: 2 + 3 + 3. Even with the unfolded third nearby the trunk accommodates 305 liters under the curtain (524 under the ceiling). I like how the salon is contemporated in the crossover. Armchairs are large, free space is enough on any row, landing comfortable. The third row here is not conditional: three children or two adults will be demolished on it. On the second and altogether space. I sit down my leg!
Leather chairs of collections, ventilation by the and Complex set of electrically regulators are convenient: the pillow is soft, the back is elastic, it is suitable risks. Wobile between chairs - USB, 12V, AUX is a place for all that can be in kama.
Between the front chairs of a large box, adjustable armrests are attached to the chairs themselves, compartments and shelves for things in the car even debt. In one driver's door of the whole four niches different size and depth. For eight people here 12 cup holders, three-zone climate control, five pairs iSOFIX fasteners, 9-inch entertainment system with a wireless remote control for the second and third rows, four USB inputs, two HDMI connections, as well as headphones inputs, 12 V, AUX and RCA.
When a well-thought-out salon, bewilderment from electronics shivels! Cruise control does not display the speed and does not adjust it in automatic mode based on the total speed of the flow. The instrument panel panel flashes in the sun, and to the scales and chaotic set of readings on the side of the on-board computer should be used to. It is good that the speedometer is submitted to a separate "window". Multimedia with 7-inch touchscreen upsets almost all parameters: graphics, interface, efficiency. There are circular review cameras and additional camera In the right mirror, peeping in the blind zone. Conveniently! But the image quality is that you need to look closely in the screen.
In the next part, we will discuss who compete Honda Pilot on russian market, We calculate the cost and try not to dramatize the unenviable fate of Honda in Russia.
The volume of the trunk is 305, 827 or 1779 liters depending on the position of the seats. Armchairs are folded into the smooth floor. But there is a miscalculation - it is not provided for a place to store the curtain of the trunk, which you have to be removed to decompose the third row.

Honda Pilot. (Honda Pilot) - 5-door SUV class "K2". The debut of the third generation took place in 2015 at the Chicago Motor Show.
When developing a new generation, engineers paid a lot of attention to improving the aerodynamic characteristics of the car. Therefore, the new Pilot is completely not to know: a revolutionary design that combines smooth and elegant lines of the body in the stylist debuting a little earlier models of CR-V and HR-V. Pilot has become 9 cm longer than its predecessor and on an impressive 136 kg easier. Now the model is equipped with LED headlights of near light and daytime running lights, and LED rear lights.
The materials of the salon department became better and modern. In addition, for the convenience of passengers a roof with a panoramic view, multimedia navigation system with an 8-inch touch screen and the ability to integrate with a smartphone. In the car can be up to five USB ports, a separate monitor for rear passengers (9-inch), sockets, headphone jacks, many compartments for small things. Also, the Russian consumer will be able to appreciate the remote launch, which will allow heat or cool the salon without leaving the house or office.
Honda Pilot in Russia will be offered with a V6 PI VTEC engine with a volume of 3.0 liters from the Earth Dreams Technology family. The new power unit will receive a VCM cylinder disabling system (Variable Cylinder Management), which, in a pair with a gas distribution phase system with electronically control, It works on the principle of using part of the power at different cruising speeds and electrically deactivates cylinders to reduce fuel consumption. Depending on the speed of movement, the length of the path and other factors, the engine can operate on 3, 4 or 6 cylinders.
In February 2015, a car exhibition was held in Chicago, on which a curious car was presented - full-sized SUV Honda Pilot, already the third generation of this Japanese crossover. The beginning of its sales is scheduled for mid-2015. The previous generation, which has been produced since 2008, has been used by high demand in the United States, so there and decided to produce a new version of this large car.
Basic changes in the new crossover
Like all previous models, this car It refers to Japan only by their name, and the development and execution is carried out by engineers and designers of the American division of Honda R & D Americas. The new pilot of 2016 began to look completely different, receiving an updated design, which is radically different from the design of previous versions. Also changed and the size of the car towards the increase, but its weight has decreased.
Second generation Honda. Pilot looked overly brutally, but even it did not save his boring image, but the latest version turned out much more fun and more dynamic, combining solid appearance and sports modern design. Despite the increased dimensions, new crossover No longer looks so cumbersome, affecting its rapid outlines.
Previously, Pilot's body was highlighted by angular straightforward forms, and now there are stylish ribs along the body, stepper and convex surfaces on their shift. As a result, he began to resemble his older brother from the ACURA MDX premium segment. In principle, the same approach is used as on other company crossovers, but due to the larger body, these changes are brighter and stronger stronger.
Design Honda Pilot.
Due to the wide use of aluminum parts, the car flew to 136 kg, becoming longer than 9 cm, and durable steel varieties made the body rigid and reliable. The front of the car is decorated with expressive longitudinal ribs, and the hood is highlighted by the Honda branded lattice with chrome-plated crossbars and new headlights of a complex geometric shape, which are also completely LED in any modification of the crossover.
A powerful hood carries a large bumper consisting of two parts: the lower part of the black plastic with air intake and fontaminations that are recessed into the protection of stones flying from-under the wheels, and the upper part consisting of horizontally located running lights and painted in the main color .
The feed of the SUV is very simple, but at the same time it looks quite solid and concise: a compact bumper, which, like the front, consists of a lower unpainted plastic part. At the top there is a spoiler over the fifth door, which is unusually large, which makes it easier to load and unload the boot. In addition, in the new Honda Pilot backdoor stands out with abundant glazing, not peculiar modern crossovers. It provides good reviewSo maneuvering reverse much easier. The rear lights due to the LED bright filling and their extraordinary form look gorgeous.
Also stand out by their large size and all side doors, which makes it easy to fit into the SUV salon. Continued from the hood longitudinal ribs, overestimated windows line, as well as large wheel disks (up to 20 inches) emphasize the sports nests of the car.
Registration of the SUV interior
It is noteworthy that the buyer of the new crossover Honda Pilot can order when buying a car in 7- or 8-seater modifications. If it is 7-seater, then two large chairs will be installed in the second row, and if the SUV is ready to take up to 8 people, then in the second row there will be an ordinary triple sofa. The third series of chairs is always triple, but at the same time no less comfortable and spacious than the sofa of the second row. These chairs are designed for large adult passengers who can freely spend on a trip for many hours and at the same time due to comfort not to feel fatigue. In the rest of such cars, the third row armchairs is usually minimal, compared with the seats of the second and first row, sizes. The chairs of the second row are easy to fold - for this you just need to press the button, as a result of which the back is folded, and the chair shifts forward, giving passage to the third row of places.
Salon of the new SUV Honda Pilot decorated the most modern species Plastic, genuine leather and high-quality carpet on the floor. The inner surfaces of the doors and cup holders are equipped with a pleasant lED backlight. All according to the standards of premium cars, but still the crossover does not apply to the premium class.
On the classic dashboard, the central location is given to the large screen of the multimedia system with the installed navigation program. Under it is a climate control unit for three zones. And for passengers of the second row, a separate climate control unit is installed.
Climate control is a car climate control system consisting of a heater, air conditioning, filters and several sensors.
The front panel is made in two-color design - light bottom contrasting with a dark top surface. The company's engineers used many buttons in the car rarely used, but very modern now, so, with their help, you can switch the gears and run the engine. Large, with a comfortable grogging steering wheel is quite large and it is not very convenient to rotate, but it looks great against the background of a big SUV.
Luggage can be placed between the fifth door and the backs of the seats of the third row. The trunk is very large - 550 liters, but, laying out the second and third row of seats, it turns out a huge 2 500-liter compartment with a smooth floor and a fairly high ceiling for download.
Specifications of the Honda Pilot Crossover 2016
Like a chicken, this Japanese SUV, but the choice of power units when ordering a certain configuration of the buyer has no - it is only available with one option gasoline motor. This I-VTEC modification unit is 3.5 liters with six cylinders located V-shaped. The gas engine It develops the maximum power of 290 hp, but all forces are not always involved - in case of a small load, the electronics automatically turns off the 3 cylinder, which leads to a significant fuel economy by this powerful motor. The "Start / Stop" system also contributes to the fuel economy.
The START / STOP system is such a system in a car that reduces fuel consumption; harmful emissions Due to the reduction of the engine operation on idling (traffic jams, traffic lights), which sometimes reaches 30% of the total engine operation time.
Despite one option affordable engine You can choose one of two automatic boxes Gear: In the basic version it is a 6-speed box, and under the order a modern 9-speed automatic gearbox is available.
In the basic execution, the crossover is collected only with a full drive, but the All-wheel drive SH-AWD system is also available, which is used in the ACURA MDX premium SUV (this indicates a Honda Pilot premium). The car suspension is fully independent, consists of MacPherson's racks in front and multi-dimensional rear system. The parameters of the installed suspension, as well as the steering system, the gearbox and the engine can be changed using the Integrated Dynamic System system.
INTEGRATED DYNAMIC SYSTEM - SYSTEM honda.which allows you to choose and use the necessary mode of movement depending on the conditions of the outside, management manners and road quality.
The safety of the driver and passengers is provided by a set of systems and programs Honda Sensing. In the usual configuration there is a built-in 4-channel anti-locking system, which consists of an electronic assistant to start moving into a hill, an external chamber and a plurality of airbag.
"Five" works brake systemwhich deserves the highest marks and is extremely effectively stopping the car on all pairs. However, it is not worth accepted by Honda pilot very quickly - at speeds above 140 km / hour, it becomes too vile, in the American style, significantly increases the fuel consumption, due to the large mass it is necessary to constantly correct the trajectory of movement of the steering wheel.
A magnificent review opens at a driver's seat, and thanks to the high ergonomics of the salon, everything is easy to find at hand and get to the crossover control bodies. When moving almost all the ways and at all possible speeds in a well-soundproof salon, extraneous sounds are not heard and there is a silence, and the sounds of the motor almost on all revolutions.
Thus, along with modern appearance, high-quality design of the cabin and the excellent dynamics of the car, the latter has some disadvantages: the lack of motors and mild American racking.
Video Test Drive New Crossover Honda Pilot 2016
One of the curious Prime Minister of the February Automotive Exhibition of 2015, who passed in Chicago, became full-size japanese crossover new, third generation.
The choice of the site of the Chicago Automobile Forum was not accidental. After all, the pilot of the second generation, which has been produced since 2008 at the factory, located in Alabama, uses good demand in the North American market. It is not surprising that the start of sales of new items, scheduled for mid-summer 2015, will be given in the United States.
New Honda Pilot is straightened from the predecessor model. The crossover received a completely different design, in no way echoing with external appearance The second generation of the model. The design of the internal decoration of the car has completely changed, which is now characterized by high-quality finish materials and an impressive list of the most modern equipment. In addition, a large car has grown a little in size, at the same time dropping an excessive mass.
Like the previous generations, the "Japanese" new pilot is only by the jurisdiction of the manufacturer - the car is designed by engineers and designers of the American division of the Honda R & D Americas concern. Nevertheless, looking at the presented model, it is very difficult to believe that specialists of the same representation of the Japanese company worked on cars of the first and second generation.
Design Exterior
If the last Honda Pilot looked frankly boring and even excessive brutality did not save the situation, then a new version Machines received a modern dynamic appearance, in which elements of sportiness and rapid equipment prevail. Despite the decent dimensions of the novelties, the car does not look so terrible and monumentally, as it was with the previously produced version of the model.
Body updated crossover deprived angular straightforwardness, and the design relief gave way to fashionable body to fire, blowing surfaces and stylish longitudinal ribs. The car turned out so attractive that it can fully compete outwardly with a co-set model from the premium segment. At the same time, nothing revolutionary in the design of the Honda Pilot exterior is not. In the same style, the younger representatives are performed. model Row Honda - crossovers and. True, on a larger body, designers were able to show more sophistication and style.
An increase in the length at once at 9 cm, the car became easier by 136 kg. Such indicators have become possible due to the abundance of aluminum parts, as well as the use of heavy-duty steel varieties.
When inspecting the car from the front angle, a powerful hood is immediately striking, emphasized by expressive lines of longitudinal ribs. Original radiator grille, performed in the spirit Honda CR-V and decorated with chrome horizontal crossbars, it successfully fits between the beautiful headlight headlights of a complex geometric shape. With a superficial view, the impression is that the headlights of the crossover and the sparkling grille of the radiator are a single design, which is decorated with the machine. By the way, the headlight headlamps Honda Pilot III have a completely LED filling, regardless of the configuration of the car.
Solid front bumper Composed of two parts. In the upper part of the bumper painted in the body color, there are horizontal oriented running lights, which are located immediately under the main headlights. The lower part of the bumper from black non-colored plastic contains a large air intake and compact fog eyes, which were decided to drown inside the bumper in order to avoid rocking stones flying from under the wheels of other cars.
Wide side doors provide the convenience of landing and disembarking into the car. And the high windows and pronounced firewalls on the huge arches of the wheels are explicitly hinting at the sporty nature and the power of the crossover. Stone roof lines ends with a spoiler over the glass of the fifth door.
Feed part, as it should be a car of a similar class, looks quite solid. The creators of the crossover managed not to cross this face when the solidity passes into a heavy massiveness. The design of the back of the Honda pilot 2016 is concise and even simple - a compact bumper in its lower part of the black non-colored plastic slightly cropped. The large trunk door provides the convenience of loading and unloading luggage.
Contrary to modern trends, the back door received a large area of \u200b\u200bglazing, which favorably affects safety during maneuvering by reverse, especially in the conditions of cramped urban streets and yards. Without exaggeration, the rear lights look just gorgeous. Plafones have an unusual configuration, and the LED filling not only makes the backlight of the car behind a brighter, but also its additional decoration.
Large wheeled arches are designed to use the wheels of several sizes, up to R20.
Interior design
Depending on the wishes of the potential buyer, the Honda Pilot salon can take on board seven or eight people, including the driver. The algorithm for the placement of passenger seats is very curious. So, when placing the second row of seats is a traditional triple sofa. But if there is enough 7-place accommodation, then for passengers of the second row, two individual "captain's" chairs will be installed.
The third row of seats is always a triple, while on the gallery will be no less comfortable and convenient than on the second row sofa. Unlike the overwhelming majority of crossovers with a three-row seat configuration, the chairs of the third row of the new Honda pilot are designed for adult passengers planning long trips. The seats of the second row are folded by pressing one button, after which the back will turn out, and the chair itself will move forward, freeing the wide passage to the third row.
Although formally Honda pilot 2016 and does not apply to the segment premium crossoversThe design of his salon meets all the standards of premium cars. The finishing used the most modern plastics and genuine leather. High-quality carpet is laid on the crossover floor. Internal door panels and cup holders have a stylish LED backlight.
The dashboard has classic for modern cars architecture. The main place is given to a large display of the multimedia system with navigation, under which the control unit of the three-zone climate setting is located. For passengers of the second row there is its own climate control unit.
The front panel itself received a two-color decoration - the light lower part stylishly contrasts with a classic dark surface. Instead of the usual gear shift lever (by the way, on the previous Pilot, it was a notable lever with akin to Yachten) Engineers offered the option to switch the transmission operation modes using the buttons. Also, the button is running the engine. Multifunctional steering wheel is somewhat vigorous in diameter. And if on a common background of a large car, a large steering wheel looks rather harmonious, then rotating a big steering wheel is not too comfortable.
For the backs of the third row chairs there is a 550-liter trunk. After laying both the backs of the chairs, you can get a huge 2 500-liter compartment with a smooth floor of the optimal loading height.
Specifications Honda Pilot 2016
For its novelty, the developers have provided a single option power aggregate. Under the hood of the crossover, the I-VTEC gasoline engine is installed with a V-shaped position of six cylinders with a 35 liter working volume. The presented engine develops the maximum power in 290 horse power. With low loads, the electronics turns off half of the cylinders, which consistently saves the fuel consumption of a powerful motor. In addition, the car is equipped with the "START / STOP" system, the devastating engine, for example at stops in front of the traffic light or in traffic jams.
You can choose one of the two transmissions to the motor. Both boxes are automatic. In the basic performance, the car is completed with a 6-speed gearbox models known by other models. More expensive versions are offered with the latest 9-speed automatic transmission.
The drive system also assumes an alternative: in addition to the front-wheelwater modifications, you can choose a crossover with a full-drive SH-AWD branded system, which, by the way, is installed on acura MDX (again the new Pilot is trying to be higher than class).
Fully independent suspension includes the front racks MacPherson with a multi-dimensional design in the rear. The functioning parameters of the suspension, steering system, gearboxes and even the motor can be changed using the Integrated Dynamic System innovation system, which allows you to install the most suitable mode depending on the driver's control manner, quality road coat or weather conditions beyond the car.
The safety of the driver and passengers meets many modern electronic systemsunited by Honda Sensing. Already in standard equipment There are 4-channel anti-lock systems, which includes an electronic assistant when attaching a hill, cameras external Reviewbroadcasting the image on the screen in the center of the instrument panel, as well as a lot of airbags.
Feeling behind the wheel
Driving a car, the power of its engine is felt. A pretty heavy crossover ripples with a place for a solid rokot V-shaped "six".
The brake system deserves the highest ratings - chain brakes effectively stop the car without extra effort on the pedal. But accelerate too fast on the new Honda Pilot is unlikely to want. At speeds exceeding 130-140 km / h, the car becomes unnecessary roll. Although steering It has good feedback, disperse on a straight line, the car occurs sometimes "catching" the steering wheel. Yes, and fuel consumption with increasing speed begins to grow in geometric progression.
The car's salon is characterized by good sound insulation. Motor works are practically not heard on all its turns. Driver landing height and ergonomics of its workplace guarantee a great overview and optimal access to the controls.
Pros and cons model
The main advantage of the novelties is that Honda Pilot 2016 is actually a completely different car relative to the model. previous generation. Modern stylish appearance, beautiful lighting and a huge list of optional equipment will attract the attention of a considerable number of potential buyers. In the asset, the car should also be made of decent dynamics and high quality interior design.
As for the shortcomings, the main of them is the "sharpening" of the car under the American buyer. This is precisely the presence of a single and non-alternative gasoline motor of considerable power. Suspension settings, car valve and some racking when moving on the highway are also characteristic of large American cars.
Only due to attractive appearance and impeccable quality in the interior decoration, a new pilot receives 4 points on a five-point rating system.
