The Pilot was reviewed at Pirate Radio studios:

The 2025 Honda Pilot AWD Black Edition is a bold and refined SUV that delivers both style and substance. Its 10-speed automatic transmission and V-6 engine provide smooth, confident performance, and the integrated drive modes make adapting to road conditions effortless. Inside, the leather-trimmed cabin offers a premium look and feel, complemented by a center mounted 9-inch color touchscreen with built-in Honda navigation that keeps everything at your fingertips. The bold black bar across the tailgate, highlighted by the striking “PILOT” lettering, gives the rear a distinct, aggressive look that stands out on the road.

This Black Edition is all about thoughtful details and practical luxury. Love the power fold outside mirrors – they’re black, too! They blend seamlessly with the SUV’s sleek, dark exterior. The cabin is filled with smart interior appointments, including a unique center-row console that can be stowed neatly under the floor in the rear, keeping the four-bucket configuration clutter-free. And of course, you can’t beat that V-6 rumble—it gives the drive a satisfying, muscular feel. Altogether, the 2025 Pilot AWD Black Edition is a standout for owners who want utility with an edge.
