Honda's midsize SUV is unchanged for 2007. Pilot shares its basic design with the 2001-2006 generation MDX from Honda's upscale Acura division. The MDX is redesigned for 2007. Pilot seats eight. It comes in LX and EX models, plus a top-line EX-L with leather upholstery and heated front seats. All are available with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. A 244-hp V6 and a 5-speed automatic transmission is the only powertrain. The 2WD Pilots get Honda's Variable Cylinder Management cylinder deactivation. AWD models lack low-range gearing, but a dashboard button locks in a front/rear power split. All Pilots have ABS and traction/antiskid control. Standard are front side airbags and curtain side airbags that cover all seating rows and include rollover deployment. The 2nd and 3rd seating rows are 60/40 split folding benches. An available navigation system and DVD entertainment are exclusive to EX-L models.
