Although Honda hasn’t said much about their 2023 Honda Pilot, expect only the best from the development team. It should look good!
There have been rumors about the bigger, and definitely better, 2023 Honda Pilot. Well, considering that the current one is the third generation that has lasted for 6 years, it is pretty understandable if Honda is thinking about doing some serious remodeling for their Pilot. So, what is Honda’s plan for the new ride, and what are their plans?
2023 Honda Pilot Redesigning Plan
Some people have positive notes about the prospect that Pilot getting new updates. Well, some people are excited while only a few think it would be too much. Well, there’s no time to think about it now, considering that there have been several spy shots showing the 2023 Honda Pilot prototype being heavily covered is going under tests. But from the spy shots, it’s even obvious that the front side fascia comes with a new pattern. It has a big grille with a 3D mesh pattern. It is flanked by LED highlights, the (wide) lower side intake, and also air curtains that are located on the outside edges of the front bumper.
Transformation, Changes, and Look of 2023 Honda Pilot
Although the sides have been completely covered and disguised, big chances that the new Pilot would be coming with a flatter hood and a more dynamic greenhouse. It seems that the new Pilot would be slightly bigger, but until we get the official dimension and size, we can’t really know about it. But then again, if you look at the rear window, it has this rakish new look, which makes the crossover doesn’t look overly boxy. But it isn’t a sure thing just yet because the upcoming Pilot has shown that there would be an upright end rear end, which affects the cargo capacity and makes it bigger.
For the basic foundation, the ride would still be coming with the same platform, which is used for 2022 Acura MDX. Compared to the ongoing ride, the ride has stiffer construction. But it’s possible that the 2023 model would be coming with double-wishbone construction on the front suspension, which will make it feel more luxurious and premium.
2023 Honda Pilot Engine and Performance
Honda hasn’t confirmed anything about the engine details. It’s predicted that the ride would be operating on a V6 engine with a 3.5-liter capacity producing 290 hp of power, along with 267 Nm of torque. Although there have been rumors about a hybrid engine, Honda hasn’t said anything about it. Some people say that it is possible that Pilot would be coming with a twin-turbo V6 engine with a 3.0-liter capacity that is taken from the MDX. But it isn’t likely considering that it would be too costly.
2023 Honda Pilot Release Date and Price
Honda hasn’t said anything about Pilot and they definitely haven’t released any official confirmation, and that includes the price and also release date. But considering that Honda knows that Pilot is an important part of the family, they would be very careful about it. Some people say that the Pilot’s price may not be too much different from the current one, and it is also possible that the 2023 Honda Pilot would be released by late 2022 or early 2023.
