Is 2024 Honda Pilot Touring reliable car that will last 10+ years?

Go to post >>

Strong reliability expected, especially with Honda's history

Pilot shares a similar engine to the Odyssey, proven reliable over time

Good cargo space, comfortable for families

Mechanically similar to the Acura MDX but without the premium fuel requirement

Concerns about long-term reliability due to lack of data on newer models

Some concerns over lack of published reliability ratings for the 2024 Pilot

2024 Touring MPG Concerns

Solid highway mileage once broken in

Driving habits significantly impact fuel efficiency, and driving gently improves MPG

Initial city MPG is quite low, with some reporting as low as 11 MPG

Fuel economy doesn't meet expectations, especially in city driving

Great long-term potential, with a reliable V6 engine and smooth 10-speed transmission

Simple and practical controls that cater to ease of use

Spare tire included, appreciated by many users

Small 9-inch screen with low resolution for cameras compared to competitors

Fuel economy is lower than expected for a non-performance SUV

Great for families with kids, offering spacious seating and storage

Comfortable for long trips, with good features like 360° camera and wireless CarPlay

Removable center seat in the second row makes the interior more versatile

Road noise and wind noise are higher than expected

Wireless charging pad is unreliable, often failing to charge phones
