The 2026 Honda Pilot Sport is the gateway into the Pilot lineup, but it’s far from basic. It’s powered by Honda’s 3.5L V6 engine (3,471 cc) producing 285 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission for strong, smooth acceleration. That V6 output is a big reason the Pilot Sport feels confident on highways around Orlando, even when loaded with passengers.

The Sport trim is also a great choice for drivers who want bold styling right away, including 20-inch alloy wheels, plus modern cabin tech such as a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster. It also includes practical daily-living features like a power tailgate, which helps a lot when you’re loading groceries, strollers, or sports gear.

• 10-speed automatic transmission

The 2026 Honda Pilot EX-L is a smart step up for families who want more comfort and convenience without going all the way to a luxury-focused trim.

EX-L also adds functional upgrades that make a big difference in real-world use. A standout feature is the stowable 2nd-row center seat, giving you flexibility between 7- or 8-passenger configurations and improving third-row access. You can also get family-focused communication tech like CabinTalk, and the trim includes parking sensors for easier maneuvering in tight spaces.
