2016 Honda Pilot AWD - The arrival of the two children in the life of a spouse often means many things: the death of the early romance, rivalry and brother SUV buy three lines. As this last has all but the car as the kid more popular-schlepper, Honda pilot has become the option of going to tired parents. Rarely seen without at least one label showing loyalty to your school or sports, as well as a reproductive braggadocious family-stick decals Ubiquity is a testament to the competence of pilots.
The Honda reliability, spacious interiors and a practical way what pilot sale. This is the sense of style and luxury. 2016 pilot trying to change it and make it, take some of the drudgery of the vehicle as well as the parents dig deep in his role as a replacement for minivans.

Always capable, drivers do not need to think, only some improvements. For the third-generation models, the improvement began with style. While the previous version try to look hard, the new model is preferred to be elegant, expensive glass with a United and sweptback corners in the front part of the Honda family.
The new pilot is largest that ever, with 1.8-inch distance between axes and more in a 3.5 inch extra length. But the extra inches do not bring with them an extra pound. Elite models with four-wheel drive that we tested weighed £4302, 309 less than four drivers in 2011. As parents know, family obligations is often a recipe for packing on extra pounds, the pilot is giving a round of applause for the success of weight loss.
3.5-liter V-6 powers the new pilot, but this is a new machine, injected directly. A variant of the unit in the Acura MDX, has 10 horsepower less here but a performance with regular fuel. The output of 262 horsepower and 280 pounds feet of torque easily blow motor the old 250 to 253. Honda eliminated the previous support of five-speed automatic six-speed in the LX, EX, and EX-L models, while testing a new level touring and elite set to get equipped with nine-speed ZF, also taken from the Acura.
With more power, more teeth and less mass, pilot hustles to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds, almost two seconds faster than the previous one. And a hot Brazilian is less fuel. Increased numbers of 17/24 EPA mpg (AWD) 18/26 mpg and 19/26, the tour and the elite model, which is also equipped with an automatic stop-start. Renouncing the AWD drive to increase mpg figures 1 above. We saw 18 mpg.
Four-wheel-drive models get a selection of four power modes: normal, snow, sand and mud, which replaces the lock button, 4-VTM before. The Honda AWD system also has a function of effort of vector torque can be divided into the rear axle to aid in cornering. The four-wheel-drive version is also ready to lift 5000 lbs, from the previous model, while giant 4500 can pull only 3500 lb.
One would expect that the Powertrain more life and lower mass for a more exciting driving experience, but that's not really what pilots came to do. In the narrow Northern Kentucky and winding byways, the pilot just feels great. Steering wheel, electrically assisted now, too bright at low speeds and does not contain just because wind more blockade, resulting in fewer inspire confidence of what could be.
We have also been in love with the brake pedal feeling, as a third trip produces little braking action. The stop of the pilot of 70 mph in 180 feet of honorable but suffered from brake fade during the stop over and over again. The quality of the journey, however, is quite good, as the pilot abandoned the multilink rear suspension and also the advantage of a clash of two-stage Honda arms. Much more that its predecessor, a wonderful feel of rear wheels is that driving a minivan - comfortable luxury, minivan and mini-vans are the same.

Printing comes not only from the dynamics, but also the packing. The cabin feels much broader that before, as the larger, more sharply they rake windscreen and bonnet is much shorter.

Part of the arm the center of the Tower has abandoned folding MPV-style attached bracket to each seat, which opens the space.
