All-New 2016 Honda Pilot SUV to Make Debut at 2015 Canadian International Auto Show

A completely re-engineered and redesigned Honda Pilot SUV will make its debut at the 2015 Canadian International Auto Show on February 12. The all-new, eight-passenger Pilot SUV will raise the stakes in the mainstream three-row SUV segment with new technology, advanced safety, improved fuel economy and enhanced family utility and versatility.

The new Pilot represents a dramatic shift in design, while showcasing new standout technologies, versatility, and dynamics currently unavailable in the mainstream SUV segment. The redesigned Pilot SUV will further augment a Honda light truck lineup that includes the recently redesigned Canadian-made Honda CR-V and the all-new Honda HR-V crossover, launching this spring.

The original Honda Pilot was introduced in 2002 as the first mainstream eight-passenger SUV to feature car-like unitized body construction, delivering more refined driving dynamics, better fuel economy and superior cabin space in a family-oriented sport-utility vehicle.
