3 Reasons to Consider the 2017 Honda Pilot

If, like many car shoppers near Cerritos, Los Angeles, and Long Beach, you’re considering making a midsize crossover SUV your next ride, you’re in luck: there’s no shortage of great options to choose from.

Our team at Norm Reeves Honda Superstore Cerritos is here to tell you why you might want to consider the 2017 Honda Pilot as your next car. There’s a lot to recommend about this vehicle, from its plush and supportive seating to a strong fuel economy and much more. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us. Here are the top three reasons to consider the 2017 Honda Pilot:

Plenty of Cargo Space

The cargo bay in the 2017 Pilot is a real standout in the segment. It has 16.5 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the third-row seats, which is plenty to carry your groceries, golf bags, and luggage for a family trip. If you have bulkier luggage and fewer people, you can fold down the third row and get 46.8 cubic feet of space.

The Pilot’s storage space maxes out at 83.9 cubic feet when second and third rows are folded, which can help when you’re making a move or looking to store your outdoor gear. Add to that the creative storage solutions in the Pilot’s cabin—including a sizeable center console bin and a compartment underneath the cargo floor—and you have a very versatile vehicle for storage.

Spacious Third-Row Seating

The Honda Pilot seats up to eight passengers (seven with the available second-row bucket seats) and has plenty of room wherever you choose to sit. Front-row passengers will get almost 41 inches of legroom, while those in the second row can enjoy more than 38 inches. Full-grown adults will find comfort in either row.

Even the third row offers nearly 32 inches of legroom, really helping the Pilot stand out in the segment. Kids and teens will find it plenty spacious for long rides. The third row (like the second) has a complete set of LATCH car-seat connectors, making it useful for families with small kids. When you need to cart around the whole family—or your kids’ friends and teammates—the Pilot has the capacity.

Top Safety Scores

Especially if you’re looking for a family mover, safety is paramount in a utility vehicle. Luckily, the Pilot has the safety chops to hang its hat on. It earned an NHTSA 5-Star Overall Safety Rating¹, with five stars in the side crash test and four stars in both the front crash and rollover tests.

The 2017 Pilot also received the coveted 2017 IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+² designation, having received the highest score of Good in all five IIHS crash tests. And as for the Pilot’s driver assist technology? The IIHS gifted it a Superior rating, so you know you can trust the reliability of features like pre-collision braking and more.
