2021 Honda Pilot Trim Levels

The Honda Pilot is a versatile and capable SUV. It’s great for your next road trip or day-long excursion with the family. It’s no wonder why drivers in Slidell, Picayune, and New Orleans choose the Pilot as their go-to SUV, but with seven different trim configurations to choose from, which is best for you?
To help you through the car-buying process, our team here at Honda of Slidell has created this guide to the Honda Pilot trim levels. We’ll explore each of them, so you can get a better idea of what you can expect from them!
Honda Pilot LX

This first trim is LX, and it comes with plenty of standard technology features. This includes Honda Sensing®, which is a suite of standard technologies that will make you more confident behind the wheel. These technologies include:
- Collision Mitigation Braking System™
- Road Departure Mitigation System
- Lane Keeping Assist System
- Adaptive Cruise Control
The Honda Pilot LX also has Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink®, so you can play music straight from your phone through the vehicle’s audio system and even safely make calls.
Honda Pilot EX
The EX builds onto the features offered by the LX. It starts with the added comfort of:
- Tri-Zone Automatic Climate Control
- Heated front seats
- 10-way, power-adjustable driver’s seat
This trim level will also enhance your connectivity. The 8-inch, high-resolution touchscreen display acts as your command center. From there, you’ll have access to Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration.
The EX will also give you added confidence when cruising down the highway or backing out of a tight parking space since it is equipped with the Blind Spot Monitoring System with Cross Traffic Monitor.
Honda Pilot EX-L
The Pilot EX-L continues to build on the previous trims. It upgrades the comfort level with the soft touch of leather-trimmed seating and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob. It also features the luxury of the one-touch power moonroof and added convenience of the power tailgate that will give you easy access to the cargo area.
Honda Pilot Special Edition
The Special Edition adds hands-free ability to the power tailgate, so now you can open it with a simple wave of your foot under the rear bumper. It also features a wireless charger that allows you to keep your phone fully powered without having to fish around for your cord. With roof rails also added to the Special Edition, you can carry even more cargo with your Pilot.
Honda Pilot Touring
The Touring trim provides even more high-tech features to add more convenience to your drive. That includes features like:
- CabinTalk® In-Car PA System
- 10-speaker Premium Audio System
- Advanced Rear Entertainment System
- Multi-Zone Audio
It’ll also be much easier to find your way in this Honda Pilot trim level because it comes with the Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™. It’ll help you get to your next destination and avoid traffic with Honda HD Digital Traffic.
Honda Pilot Elite

More features are also added to the Elite trim level. That includes the perforated, heated and ventilated front seats that allow you to enjoy maximum comfort when driving.
Second-row passengers also get a first-class ride on the heated second-row Captain’s Chairs that come with the Honda Pilot Elite. It also comes with other premium features from its panoramic roof to its rain-sensing windshield wipers.
Honda Pilot Black Edition
The Black Edition comes with a unique and bold sense of style. Its exterior features 20-inch black alloy wheels and a gloss-black front grille. Inside, you’ll enjoy the exclusive red ambient lighting that matches the rear seat stitching that is also found inside the Black Edition.
