00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:02.040
- So you need three rows

2
00:00:02.040 --> 00:00:04.980
but you're too insecure to buy a minivan.

3
00:00:04.980 --> 00:00:08.670
What else could you possibly
buy out there in the market?

4
00:00:08.670 --> 00:00:11.820
Well, luckily for you,
Honda's got you covered.

5
00:00:11.820 --> 00:00:14.460
The Pilot's been a great choice for years

6
00:00:14.460 --> 00:00:17.640
but the current generation's
been getting on a little bit.

7
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:22.640
Now for 2023, it's finally
getting a long deserved rework.

8
00:00:23.220 --> 00:00:25.680
Honda says the new Pilot is the largest

9
00:00:25.680 --> 00:00:29.610
and most powerful SUV in Honda history

10
00:00:29.610 --> 00:00:31.830
which might technically be true

11
00:00:31.830 --> 00:00:34.500
but don't expect it to win any drag races

12
00:00:34.500 --> 00:00:36.540
against a Durango Hellcat.

13
00:00:36.540 --> 00:00:39.570
The all new three and a half liter V6

14
00:00:39.570 --> 00:00:43.020
is slightly more powerful
than its predecessor.

15
00:00:43.020 --> 00:00:48.020
Now making 285 horsepower
and 262 pound feet of torque.

16
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:50.430
The new design falls

17
00:00:50.430 --> 00:00:54.270
into the current Honda styling
language, which is great.

18
00:00:54.270 --> 00:00:57.360
It looks rugged, it looks a little mean

19
00:00:57.360 --> 00:01:00.600
but not comical or over the top.

20
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:03.240
Honda claims the new Pilot
will be more fun to drive

21
00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:05.670
than the outgoing car with shift paddles

22
00:01:05.670 --> 00:01:07.740
as standard and the 10 speed automatic

23
00:01:07.740 --> 00:01:11.970
that it claims was specifically
tuned for this chassis.

24
00:01:11.970 --> 00:01:14.820
Front drive is standard, but
the all wheel drive system

25
00:01:14.820 --> 00:01:18.030
now has upgraded torque
vectoring that can send

26
00:01:18.030 --> 00:01:21.060
up to 70% of the engine's
power to the rear.

27
00:01:21.060 --> 00:01:24.690
Honda still hasn't released
pricing for the 2023 Pilot

28
00:01:24.690 --> 00:01:27.900
but given that it goes on sale next month,

29
00:01:27.900 --> 00:01:30.030
expect to see those numbers soon.

30
00:01:30.030 --> 00:01:33.120
If you wanna know exactly
when those numbers come out,

31
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:35.939
keep your eyes peeled on JALOPNIK.com.

32
00:01:35.939 --> 00:01:37.455
(upbeat music)
