The automotive media continues to give the Honda Pilot high marks. The reviewers at Kelly Blue Book wrote: “There are many things in the 2021 Pilot’s favor. The cabin is roomy and versatile... Although most buyers probably won’t venture too far into the wilderness, the Pilot has more than a smattering of off-road talent. Factor in the comfortable ride, strong-yet-refined V6 engine, plus enviable resale values, and recommending the 2021 Pilot becomes an easy decision.”
