Honda confirmed that the redesigned Pilot SUV will make its world debut at the 2015 Chicago Auto Show on February 12. The automaker says that the redesigned 8-seater model will bring “new technology, advanced safety, class-leading fuel economy and enhanced family utility and versatility” to the three-row SUV segment.
Styled, developed and manufactured in the United States, the 2016 Honda Pilot promises to be “a dramatic shift in design,” while also featuring new technologies and bringing a level of versatility and dynamics “currently unavailable in the mainstream SUV segment,” according to Honda.
The teaser photo reveals a more dynamic profile, similar to the 2015 CR-V, with blacked-out pillars and sharper details than on the current-generation Pilot.
Alongside the 2016 Pilot, Honda will also reveal details and styling direction for its forthcoming Ridgeline pickup truck at the Chicago Auto Show. The all-new Honda Pilot will arrive in dealerships nationwide this summer.
“Honda continues to fortify its light-truck lineup in 2015, this time turning our eye to the fast-growing family SUV segment. The new Pilot will raise the bar in a segment it helped to create, with more innovation, style, premium features and family utility than ever before,” said Jeff Conrad, senior vice president and general manager of the Honda Division.
