Pros: Great storage and cargo space. Unique second row feature. Sophisticated ride comfort. A versatile and capable trail sport. Disadvantages of advanced AWD: Subpar acceleration due to poor transmission and engine response. So-so driver-assistance technology Indeed, the 2024 Honda Pilot is most appealing when pepped up, like the version pictured here. The Diffused Sky Blue Pearl Trail Sport was stopped by a stranger to compliment us on our excellent choice of car. Thank you, but it’s not ours. However, it would be a smart idea to make his pilot your own in 2024. Thanks to its plentiful space, clever storage, and overall well-balanced nature, it’s one of our top three-row crossover SUVs, along with the Kia Telluride and Hyundai Palisade. It just ticks so many boxes and looks so much better than the anonymous chunks that came before. Perhaps the biggest differentiator is the Pilot’s unique second-row seat design. The center seat can be removed and stored in the underfloor storage space behind the third row, and the captain’s chairs and pass-through can still be used.
