The 2016 Redesign Honda Pilot is here!

   



The 2016 redesigned Honda Pilot is looking to be THE family vehicle. From constantly checking how well child-safety seats fit in vehicles to how sane they keep Mom and Dad, the 2016 Honda Pilot was at the top of the list. The 2016 Honda Pilot has axed its hard edges: it's once again a smooth, capable family wagon, one that raises the bar for refinement. The Honda Pilot was a pioneer in the race to reformat rugged SUVs into something more prosaic, more useful--more liveable on a daily basis. When it was new in 2003, the Pilot got the driving height and all-weather traction of the SUV right, and wrapped it in an airy Honda-like body with lots of seats, superb visibility and, truth, frumpy looks.

   To be considered a great family vehicle-like the 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe- it needs to be able to take care of all it's passengers. While the driver needs to be comfortable, the little ones really come first and Honda made sure they thought of that as well. Easy to reach cupholders everywhere is the first thing that's noticed, including double cupholders in the rear of the vehicle. Along with having three top tether anchors, the redesigned Pilot will have the capability to accomodate three car seats across the 2nd row when equipped with the bench seat, which will appeal to larger families. With all the room available in the Pilot, being tall isn't going to be a problem. The second row features two buttons; one being on the seat bottom and the other located on the seat back, making exiting the vehicle painless, even for a person that is six feet tall.

   From a Blue-Ray player to an HDMI port for gaming, the Pilot appears to have plenty of electronics to keep children of all ages occupied for hours. The Pilot also offers plenty of USB ports, some being powerful enough to charge iPads. Parents can also enjoy many entertainment options, but may be more excited about all the available storage in the Pilot. The center console is much larger than the old Pilot and can easily hold a large purse. The smaller cubbies throughout the vehicle make storing childrens things convenient as well. The cargo area is also impressive with its significant amount of under floor storage. There's a reversible cargo panel for dirty stuff like soccer cleats and beach chairs-and this cargo well behind the third row can hold an 82-quart cooler. Capri Sun for everyone!

   Even though the important facts like how much power the Pilot boasts and what kind of mileage you'll get, haven't been released yet, it carries numerous options to make families happy while traveling; therefore, putting the 2016 Honda Pilot in the running to be THE family vehicle.
