It’s not often that critics and drivers agree on something. But when it comes to their favorite Honda Pilot trim, the SE is a winner. What makes the Honda Pilot SE so popular? Let’s review.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Three Rows, Many Options in this Pilot<\/h3>\n

The Honda Pilot<\/strong><\/a> is a three-row SUV available in seven trims: Sport, TrailSport, EX-L, SE (a.k.a. Special Edition), Touring, Elite, and Black Edition. The EX-L and SE come standard with second-row bench seating, while the upper trims offer second-row captain’s chairs.<\/p>\n

The Pilot offers one of the most spacious third rows in its class. And the split-fold bench seating in the SE gives you more options when you have a lot of people and a lot of cargo to carry around. And the upgrade to the hands-free liftgate makes loading a lot easier.<\/p>\n

Crowd-Pleasing Luxury<\/h3>\n

Not only does the Pilot SE offer a roomy cabin, but Honda packs it with an incredibly long list of crowd-pleasing features, including tri-zone automatic climate control and a one-touch power moonroof.<\/p>\n

The Pilot is the perfect SUV<\/strong><\/a> if you’ve got little ones. The integrated second-row sunshades work with the Pilot’s quiet cabin and smooth ride to create a serene environment when it’s naptime.<\/p>\n

The Special Edition also adds premium features such as leather-trimmed seats and heated power front seats with driver memory. The Honda Pilot SE will spoil you with luxury no matter what row you’re sitting in.<\/p>\n

A Jaw-Dropping List of Safety Features in this Pilot Model<\/h3>\n

Honda Sensing technology is standard on every Pilot model. The SE expands the list of safety and driver assistance technology with high-demand features such as:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Collision Mitigation Braking System<\/li>\n
  • Road Departure Mitigation System<\/li>\n
  • Blind Spot Information\/Cross Traffic Monitor<\/li>\n
  • Adaptive Cruise Control<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Plus, you get exterior safety features, including LED Fog and Low-Beam lights to help you see and be seen.<\/p>\n

    A Fully Capable SUV<\/h3>\n

    Another reason the Honda Pilot SE is a crowd favorite is its capability. Its 280-horsepower V6 engine teams up with a 9-speed automatic transmission to deliver maximum power and fuel efficiency. At 22 combined MPG, the Pilot won’t keep you tethered to the gas pump. And if you opt for Honda’s i-VTM4 All-Wheel-Drive, you get all-weather capability and raise the Pilot’s towing capacity to 5,000 pounds.<\/p>\n

    Maximum Value for Minimal Cost<\/h3>\n

    You could choose a Pilot in one of the lower trims and still get a lot of desirable features. But shoppers and experts all agree that the SE maximizes value at a nominal cost. You get useful extras for around $40k, including roof rails and stylish 20-inch black alloy wheels.<\/p>\n

    The Most Agreeable Honda Ever<\/h3>\n

    It seems like every expert review you read on an auto website is peppered with comments from drivers saying, “Don’t listen to nit-picking critics! This car is great!” But when it comes to the Honda Pilot SE, we’ve reached a unanimous consensus. Do you own one, or have you taken one for a test drive? What do you think about it?<\/p>\n
