The verdict

What's good

Standard AWD with G-force meter in all trims — rare at this price point
Wider stance than the Pilot gives it genuinely planted highway stability in crosswinds
Dedicated off-road modes tune throttle and braking for gravel and light trail use
Honda's long-term reliability reputation keeps residual values well above segment average

What's not

Rear seat passengers feel the suspension tuning on rough city roads more than rivals
No hybrid option in the lineup limits fuel savings for daily commuters
Cargo floor sits relatively high, making loading heavy items awkward
Third-row option is absent — makes it a tough sell for families needing seven seats

The engine

J35

3.5L V6

Honda's 3.5-liter J35 V6 is a model of smooth, dependable flexibility — quiet and refined for family duty, with VTEC giving a little extra urgency up top.

A long-running, famously reliable Honda V6 refined over many generations, with cylinder deactivation and VTEC variable valve timing — Honda's signature technology.

It can shut down cylinders when cruising to save fuel, then bring them back instantly.
VTEC, Honda's variable valve tech, gives it a second wind at higher revs.
