The Pilot returns for 2022 with the same muscular powertrain. It’s motivated by a strong 3.5-liter, i-VTEC V6 engine. Honda rates this engine to develop 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. A nine-speed automatic transmission quickly routes power to the wheels. When driving the new Pilot, you’ll immediately notice its responsive performance.
