So, we at Braman Honda decided to put together this 2020 Honda Pilot review to help you make an educated decision on your next car. You’ll find all the necessary specs below, including engine performance, interior design, and cargo volume. Keep reading to get to know this year’s Pilot!
2020 Honda Pilot Performance Specs
Honda provides one sturdy engine for the 2020 Pilot. The 3.5-liter V6 mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission (6AT) generates up to 280 horsepower and 262 lb ft of torque. While the 6AT is reliable and shifts smoothly, those who want a sportier feel should take a look at the available 9-speed automatic transmission (9AT) with Shift-By-Wire and Paddle Shifters.
As far as efficiency goes, the Honda Pilot has you covered. You can expect an EPA-estimated 19 city/27 highway/22 combined MPG from the 2-wheel drive 6AT in LX, EX, or EX-L trims or slightly improved 20 city/27 highway/23 combined MPG in the Touring trim.*
Interior Comforts & Passenger Room
When it comes to infotainment and interior conveniences, the Honda Pilot comes standard with a 5-inch LCD screen and a 7-speaker audio system. Control phone calls and media via Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink and Streaming Audio.
If you have a compatible smartphone, an available 8-inch touchscreen display ready with Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ integration allows you to access navigation and music through connected apps. Opt for an available 10-way power driver’s seat and Tri-Zone Automatic Climate Control System with Humidity Control and Air Filtration to stay comfortable year-round.
The Honda Pilot boasts plenty of space for passengers as well as their belongings. We’ve listed all of the Pilot’s interior dimensions to give you an idea of how your family would fit inside this comfy SUV.

2020 Pilot Towing Capacity
If you have a couple of dirt bikes or a boat, then it’s likely important for your next car to be able to safely handle the load. Luckily, the base model Honda Pilot can tow up to 3,500 pounds. This should be more than enough weigh for a small fishing boat or pop-up trailer.
When properly equipped, the Pilot has a 5,000-pound maximum towing capacity that’s sufficient for smaller hard-side RVs and recreational boats. Combine the 2020 Pilot’s haul-ability with a 7.3-inch ground clearance to get a ready-for-anything SUV.
