The 2013 Honda Pilot is designed for adventure. Fitted for fun. And especially with the Touring model, it even handles a desire for luxury. With features like a power tailgate, navigation system and Bluetooth HandsFreeLink, it just may be the most sophisticated tool in the shed. Drive informed. The Touring model’s Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System with voice recognition gives you information on 7 million points of interest,* provides Zagat Survey ratings and reviews, and even lets you call ahead with its Bluetooth HandsFreeLink capabilities.
Drive 2013 Honda Pilot with a purpose, a mission and the knowledge that you’ve got power to spare. The 3.5-liter i-VTEC V-6 generates 250 hp and 253 lb-ft of torque enough to tow up to 4,500 lbs. Standard equipment like an integrated Class III trailer hitch, heavy-duty radiator and fluid coolers means the Honda Pilot comes fitted with most of what you need for some serious hauling. Drive smart. Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) technology on both and wheel-drive models activates or deactivates certain engine cylinders, giving you power when you need it, more miles between fill-ups and an Ultra-Low-Emission Vehicle (ULEV-2) rating. It’s fuel economy8 cleverly disguised as a powerful engine.
During steady cruising, the 2013 Honda Pilot V-6 shuts down the entire rear bank of cylinders resulting in greater fuel efficiency.8 An Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) system helps control engine noise. When maximum torque is required – such as when you’re merging onto the freeway or climbing a steep hill all six cylinders are firing to deliver the engine’s full power. When cruising speeds climb, the engine moves from 3-cylinder operation to 4-cylinder mode. The transitions between all modes are nearly seamless to the driver.
Drive nimble. The journey may be half the fun, but you still want to get where you’re going. The Pilot’s rigid unit-body construction, independent suspension and variable power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering help deliver precise handling and a smooth ride. The large wheel and tire combination also helps add to the vehicle’s incredible ride quality and stability. 4-wheel independent suspension features a front strut/multi-link rear design for a smooth, car-like ride. The front suspension uses fluid-filled bushings for better ride isolation and vibration control. VTM-4 Lock on 4-wheel-drive models helps when circumstances require extra traction. You can manually lock the rear differential with the push of a button located on the instrument panel. Hill Start Assist senses when you’re stopped on an incline and will hold the brakes for a brief moment as you transition from the brake to the accelerator to help reduce rollback.
The core Honda belief that every passenger deserves heightened levels of safety has led us to become an industry leader in developing and applying advanced safety technology. The Honda Pilot is a prime showcase for this philosophy, receiving 5-star frontal- and 5-star side-impact ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

The 2013 Honda Pilot with Anti-lock braking system (ABS) also features Brake Assist, which helps apply full braking force in some emergency situations. Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) helps balance braking forces depending upon dynamic loading. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) notifies you with a warning indicator in the information display if air pressure in a specific tire is significantly low. Touring model gives you an individual pressure readout for each tire. Vehicle Stability AssistTM (VSA) system helps sense oversteer or understeer and brakes individual wheels and/or reduces engine power to help keep you on your intended course. Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure is a Honda-exclusive body design that enhances occupant protection and crash compatibility in frontal collisions. The ACE design utilizes a network of connected structural elements to distribute crash energy more evenly throughout the front of the vehicle.
