Room for Everyone and Everything

Pilot vs. the Passport

Set against the Passport, the Pilot wins for families who need the extra row. Its third row carries more passengers, while the two-row Passport trades that seating for more outright cargo room and a slightly bolder stance.

The Passport suits smaller households that want more cargo space over extra seats. But if your family regularly fills every row, the Pilot's three-row layout is the stronger call.

A third row the Passport does not offer.
More seating flexibility for growing families.
The Passport fits if cargo room matters more than extra seats.

Drive a Pilot and a Passport back to back to feel the difference. We can have both ready in one stop.

Picking Your Pilot Trim

Choosing a Pilot comes down to comfort, drivetrain, and features. Higher trims add richer materials and upgraded tech, and available all-wheel drive adds all-weather grip.

Match it to your routine. If you face winter weather or cover highway miles, all-wheel drive pays off, while a comfort-first family pattern points toward a well-equipped upper trim.

Higher trims add comfort and family features.
Available all-wheel drive suits winter weather.
Every trim keeps the three-row layout.
