The 2026 Honda Pilot arrives with a few visual tweaks, some thoughtful tech upgrades, and, perhaps unsurprisingly, a higher sticker price. While the new face may catch your eye, it’s the pricing that demands a closer look. Official figures now confirm that the entry-level Pilot Sport 2WD will set buyers back at least $43,690 in the US, destination included.

For comparison, last year’s base Pilot started at $41,650. Along with the MSRP bump, Honda has quietly nudged its destination charge up from $1,450 to $1,495. The trim lineup for 2026, includes the EX-L, Touring, TrailSport, Elite, and Black Edition variants.
Opting for all-wheel drive on the entry-level Sport now brings the total to $45,790, up from $43,750 last year. The EX-L 2WD rises to $45,990, and its AWD counterpart to $48,090, marking a similar uptick from their 2025 figures of $44,950 and $47,050, respectively.
The Touring 2WD has been ditched for 2026, meaning the trim is only available in AWD. This model is priced from $52,590, up from $51,050. The TrailSport AWD goes from $50,850 to $51,890, the Elite AWD is up from $54,530 to $54,990, and the Black Edition is now $56,490, from $56,030 for last year’s model.

2026 Updates
While no one will be thrilled about the price hikes, Honda has added some updates beyond the styling changes. Now standard across all trims is a larger 12.3-inch infotainment display, a larger 10.2-inch digital gauge cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 5G WiFi capability, a quieter cabin, a power tailgate, roof rails, and a Post-Collision Braking system.
The electric power steering system has been retuned as well. Honda says this should bring sharper feedback and improved precision, though test drives will ultimately decide whether that change is felt behind the wheel.
There are no changes to what powers the Pilot. It sticks with Honda’s 3.5-liter V6 engine, producing 285 horsepower and 262 lb-ft (355 Nm) of torque. A 10-speed automatic transmission remains the sole option. The first units of the updated model are already arriving at dealerships
