Quenching the U.S.’s thirst for the mid-size SUV was Honda’s main impetus to produce the Honda Pilot in 2002.

Americans love their mid-size crossover SUVs.  And ever since their maiden voyage into production, the Pilot has been a fan favorite.

Excluding the first production year, the Pilot has sold less than 100,000 units just twice.

This is especially impressive considering that in 2020, 123,813 Pilots were purchased.

Here’s a look at the Trim Packages available for the new 2022 Honda Pilot.

2022 Honda Pilot EX-L | $39,060

The EX-L is the introductory tier for the latest Honda Pilot. Packed with perks that used to be only reserved for upper-tier trims, you get your money’s worth and then some.

• Wireless Phone Charger

2022 Honda Pilot Touring | $43,620

Inching closer to luxury pricing, the Touring makes those extra dollars make sense. The premium audio system is but one plush amenity found within the Touring.

• 590-Watt Premium Audio System with 10 Speakers

2022 Honda Pilot Elite | $49,120

The first of the Honda Pilot options that doesn’t come with FWD as an option. The AWD Elite gets a mere 1MPG less than its front-wheel contemporaries.

2022 Honda Pilot Black Edition | $50,620

How the Honda Pilot stacks up against its competitors

2021 Toyota 4Runner | Price: $36,471 | 2020 Units Sold: 129,052

The Toyota 4Runner’s entry-level is the second-most expensive mid-size SUV featured here. The Pilot’s is higher, but so is its gas mileage, which could mitigate the 4Runner’s savings.

2021 Mazda CX-9 | Price: $34,160 | 2020 Units Sold: 27,638

Lengthwise, the CX-9 is the largest of the four mid-size SUVs mentioned in this article. That was surprising. The Mazda CX-9 just **looks** smaller than the average mid-size SUV.

2021 Kia Telluride | Price: $32,790 | 2020 Units Sold: 75,129

With only two production years in the books, the Kia Telluride is the freshest face on the scene. The sleek design of the Kia Telluride tells me the future is bright for the Korean mid-size SUV.
