Honda Pilot Design & Drivetrain
The Honda Pilot was designed to be a capable and versatile SUV. It starts with its durable frame and Unit Body Construction.
The frame sits on a pair of reliable suspensions. Up front, there’s a Macpherson Strut Front Suspension, while in back there’s a Multi-Link Rear Suspension. These suspensions work together with Electric Power-Assisted Rack-and-Pinion Steering (EPS) to allow the Pilot to get better maneuverability and handling.
This capable design comes together with the drivetrain. The available Intelligent Variable Torque Management™ (i-VTM4™) AWD System allows for greater traction and control while navigating slick or uneven terrain.
With standard 18-inch alloy wheels that are equipped with all-season tires, you’ll be able to tackle any driving conditions.
