The EX is our pick of the Pilot range, giving buyers the budget-friendly eight-seater they want but with all the necessary convenience and safety we expect of a vehicle in this segment. Tri-zone climate control and heated front seats add extra convenience, as does the one-touch slide-and-fold second-row seating, giving easier access to the third-row seats. Other conveniences include keyless entry and remote start, terrain management, and of course full smartphone integration via the updated eight-inch touchscreen media system. Safety is further enhanced by blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.
