Are you a Kankakee resident seeking a rugged midsize SUV that can take on big adventures? If so, look no further than the 2026 Honda Pilot! We love this model here at Bill Kay Honda, and we’re certain you’re going to understand why after reading the detailed overview below.

Performance

Working diligently under the hood is the Pilot’s standard 3.5L V6 engine, which achieves an admirable 285 horsepower¹ and 262 lb.-ft. of torque². While an FWD system comes standard to maximize efficiency throughout everyday drives, you can upgrade to an optional 2nd-Gen Intelligent Variable Torque Management™ AWD system for extra control on slick surfaces and tricky terrain. All models include a 10-speed automatic transmission that offers Shift-By-Wire technology and paddle shifters to give you manual control over gear changes. Complete with an available 5,000-lb. maximum towing capacity³, this model allows you to haul bulky objects down I-57 with ease. 

Interior

When you step inside the 2026 Honda Pilot, you’ll be greeted by three spacious rows of seating that can accommodate up to eight passengers. Heated front seats come standard, which means you and your copilot can warm up quickly after a chilly evening at Cobb Park. As the driver, you can enjoy a standard 10-way power-adjustable seat that includes 2-way lumbar support. If you share driving responsibilities with a spouse or other member of your household, spring for the available two-position memory system for the driver’s seat. Both the standard 40/20/40-split second-row and 60/40-split third row seats fold down to expand the cargo area. When you’re traveling solo, you can fold both rows down to enjoy up to 111.8 cu. ft. of maximum cargo space⁴.

Safety

Whether you’re going about your daily errands or embarking on an off-road adventure, the Pilot’s safety systems will provide you with peace of mind. When you’re traveling on the highway, the standard Adaptive Cruise Control⁵ system will help you maintain a space between yourself and the driver ahead of you. To keep you informed in unfamiliar areas, the standard Traffic Sign Recognition System⁶ lets you know about upcoming road signs and speed limit changes. Finally, when you’re navigating a busy parking lot or making your way through a heavily wooded area, the available Multiview Camera System keeps you apprised of your surroundings.
