[@JayIrvine-g8r]

We were in the market for a 3-Row and looked at all the usual suspects. After thorough investigation, we went with the 2023 Pilot Elite and honestly I like it even better than I thought I would. Would totally recommend to anyone in the market. ONE IMPORTANT NOTE: Don't skimp and buy the FWD version. One of the best features of this care is the Torque vectoring differential in the all-wheel drive model. It makes the driving dynamics soooo much better than any of the competitors. When going around corners, it intelligently transfers power to the appropriate rear wheel to get you around corners and it handles remarkably well for a vehicle of this size. It's actually one of the most fun to drive SUVs I've ever had the chance to drive and blew the competition out of the water in the AWD configurations. It's not as initially impressive looking as the high-end Palisade or Telluride, but the material quality, fit-and-finish, and most especially driving quality are leaps and bounds ahead of those two. The Highlander is just small and completely uninspiring to drive. A fine vehicle but it feels like an appliance to drive and not anything fun or enjoyable, and if MPG is your key factor, it's the only real option in the segment with a hybrid option.

We were sold and bought one. Love it.

[@VehicleVisionary]

Congratulations on your purchase!

[@EatLotsOfCurry]

One thing that would be nice to see on reviews is what the interior/exterior lights looks like at night.

[@mysolarexperience9051]

I bought a 2024 Pilot Touring in Platinum White with Grey Interior. Very happy so far

[@rpiian]

We test drove one (elite) and loved it. We now have a deposit down on a sonic gray color 😁

[@ElizabethGonzalez-l5d]

Just purchased one and I’m loving it!!

Same ❤

Thanks so much Tom for sharing this review of the all-new Redesigned 2023 Honda Pilot Elite

[@VehicleVisionary]

You're welcome! Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave a comment.

[@DawgFan7]

I’m not a fan of the sunroof , with kids I would rather have a rear entertainment screen

[@DawgFan7]

I really like the size of this vehicle, having 3 growing kids I need the 3rd row- and this is my favorite 3rd row vehicle by far

[@doct0rnic]

Yes, I use the rear entertainment far more than the sunroof

[@kevinoliver4967]

I just got my pilot 2023 Elite.Great buy👍

[@jsfbay1]

I thought this new generation Pilot had grown more than your numbers, but I'm probably thinking about the Grand Highlander vs Highlander :-) I guess making it boxier helped quite a bit to increase the apparent space inside. This, the MDX, and the Grand Highlander are my top three. Well, including the Lexus TX makes it my top 4 list.

[@hockeynutt9434]

Why does that info screen come so small. A 12.5 would look so much better

[@martinezsteverson3917]

We have a 2022 Black Edition currently and have the 2023 Elite ordered and on the way. Looking forward to the new engine change paired with the 10spd!!

[@HazaelAlonso]

How do you like it so far?

[@modernsoccer1860]

It is the best, highlander reliability has hit rock bottom, pathfinder is even worse and you can't trust the Korean twins, this wins in my books plus i was impressed with the looks

[@jeffreyhughes5331]

We want to know if they fixed the noisy AC compressor which is typical for pilots. Many other cars seem to have addressed this issue and we’re hoping Honda has gotten there also. Nice looking car.

[@2014-IPO-World-Champ]

Lol…we….sounds like something that would keep family’s up at night

[@HannahLoften]

I still love my 2020 pilot cuz i dont like control buttons!!! Still thinking maybe next 2024 lexus 😮😮😮

You didn't show the Heads-up display.

Yet STILL retains a timing belt 🤦🏻‍♂️ COME ON HONDA, GET WITH THE TIMES!!!

[@RetrieverTrainingAlone]

Width between the wheel wells? Will 2 24-inch dog boxes fit side by side? Can you manually turn the lights on? Can you manually lock/unlock the vehicle? Is there space for a real spare tire or just a donut?

[@jamesbevins3981]

I want one of these elite pilots. With heads up display

[@zvell636]

Doesn't the elite have?

[@yacajacayacatech8638]

lane watch was the best feature in honda i stock with old models that have lane watch and when i deceid to buy a new vichle has no lane watch i buy toyota high lander

[@maomvanglo]

I think I am sold.

[@josephlotrecchiano9359]

very nice

[@AE-oj2it]

There is a cable connected to the seat in my 2023 pilot Can you show us how to unplug the cable from the seat

[@ledebuhr1]

Tom, Do you think the removable seat in the second row makes a good armrest? seems a little low.

[@VehicleVisionary]

To be honest, it is very low to be used as an armrest unless you are a child.

[@2014-IPO-World-Champ]

Put those very troublesome worries aside

[@嘉義雞肉飯]

Pilot is very rear to see in street..... I would say the Highlander is everywhere.

[@mojarnugget]

Yes it is

[@MelissaandJoelMitchell]

How many ways is the front passenger seat?

[@Anonymous-ue8qo]

Do you know why transmission jerks when slowing down? 2023 Pilot elite. Is it normal for this car?

[@apaulmuller503]

Does the '23 (and '24) Pilot require premium fuel?

[@jonathancrawford8252]

No, the owner's manual recommends octane 87 or higher

[@aeneas116116]

Yes

[@soccerlover2016]

Consumer shouldn't have to pay extra for 2nd row ventilated seats on Pilot as Hyundai Palasade Calligraphy/ Telluride are standard.

[@Vmh1717]

How is the front seat for tall drivers ?

[@VehicleVisionary]

I hope some taller drivers will comment based on their experience but there is a lot of room for adjusting the seat to fit drivers over six feet tall without an trouble.

[@michaelrandall6184]

I'm 6'0" and have plenty of room. Also i have a friend who's 6'7 and he's had no problem riding in the front seat.

[@lyssamoura9583]

Die they fic the issue with the transmission fluid getting dirty so fast??? I have to change my 2017 so much it starts to give me issues if I don't.

[@davewilson7602]

It’s an entirely different transmission so it shouldn’t be replicated.

[@ptb127]

the infotainment screen is WAYYYYYY too small.

[@SouthCntrlBred]

In person paired with the full digital instrument cluster it’s a non issue. At least for me since it’s been my daily driver.

[@almassengale]

I agree that its too small but in the grand scheme of things there are a lot of things that matter more in a car like road manners, ride, noise levels, seat comfort, cargo space, utility, ease of controls, reliability, etc, etc.

[@2steaksandwiches665]

I think it looks good enough. Some of the screen sizes are getting out of control. And then they end up eliminating buttons.

[@pambecker4446]

Personally I prefer it. Less distracting when I’m driving

[@2014-IPO-World-Champ]

Yes a 1/2 would make it better. My god how ridiculous

[@Mr7141983]

Honda needs a V6 Timing train, not a belt .

[@gosman949]

I hate the second-row center console . Do away with it and put in regular captains seats!

[@jaxsonhugh9334]

How do think they could do a ventilated steering wheel???? 😂😂😂😂😂

[@apaulmuller503]

Why is Honda going back to the 9 speed for 2024?

[@fredmoss4540]

Since when? They just redesign with in-house 10 speed over 9 speed ZF Transmission.

[@bobby350z]

I would like to have more off-road worthy than the current trailsport. Money wise. Looks expensive compared to model Y. If i am staying on roads, i will take the model Y.
