Cons Complicated audio and climate controls
The 2017 Honda Pilot is a capable, refined crossover SUV with all the goodness of a minivan, save for the sliding doors.

Cons Maybe not as distinctive in styling 9-speed automatic can get confused Blind-spot monitors only on most expensive model One-touch seats only on EX-L and pricier models
