2024 Honda Pilot Safety and Drivers Assistance Features

The Honda Pilot is a three-row, full-size SUV crossover perfect for family road trips and adventures in Hanover, Pennsylvania. This SUV is handsomely styled, comes with innovative technology the whole family will enjoy using, and has advanced safety and driver-assistance features to protect you on the road. Read as our Apple Honda of Hanover team shares more about the 2024 Honda Pilot and its safety features.

2024 Honda Pilot Overview

Honda offers the 2024 Pilot in six trims: the LX, Sport, EX-L, TrailSport, Touring, and Elite. Each trim builds on the previous level and adds extra features you may find attractive. You'll find a 3.5-liter V-6 engine that produces 285 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque under the hood of all trims. A smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission pairs with this powerful engine. Depending on your desired traction, you can get the Pilot with its standard front-wheel-drive system or choose the available all-wheel drive. The latter drivetrain comes standard on the TrailSport and Elite trims.

If you have a large family, opt for the three rows of bench seats with seating for up to eight people, or on select trims, you can swap the second-row bench seats for two captain's chairs for seating up to seven. As you move up the 2024 Honda Pilot's trim levels, you'll find luxury features, such as leather-trimmed upholstery, power-adjustable heated front seats, and a hands-free power liftgate. Depending on the seating configuration, you can get between 18.6 and 87 cubic feet of storage space.

Innovative technology features include Honda's infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, the available 12-speaker premium Bose sound system, and a power panoramic sunroof.

Driver-Assistance Technologies

Beyond standard safety features and systems, Honda gives all the 2024 Pilot trims the Honda Sensing suite of driver-assistance features. These systems use a series of cameras, radar, and sensors to send alerts and warnings if they detect an imminent collision, lane drifting, or unsafe driving conditions. You must respond to these alerts, or the vehicle will automatically help with corrective steering or braking, depending on the feature.

Standard features of this technology bundle on all the Pilot trims include the following:

• Forward collision warning: You'll get a warning if the system detects you're too close to what's in front of you. This system detects vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, and objects.
• Collision mitigation braking system: If you don't respond to the forward collision alert, the system automatically brakes the vehicle to avoid a collision.
• Road departure mitigation system: This system sends an alert if you drift into another lane without applying the turn indicators.
• Lane-keep assist system: If you drift out of your lane and don't correct your course, the lane-keep assist will apply subtle corrective steering to help you stay on course.
• Driver attention monitor: This system monitors your behavior to detect inattentiveness, drowsiness, or erratic driving. It sends an alert, a beep, or a vibration through the steering wheel.
• Automatic high-beam headlights: When driving in the dark or under murky conditions, the Pilot will automatically turn on the high-beam headlights. When it detects an approaching vehicle, the system will lower the intensity and then return it to a high beam when there are no more approaching vehicles.
• Adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow: When driving down the highway or freeway, this system helps you maintain a constant speed between you and the vehicle in front of you.
• Traffic jam assist: When congested traffic slows down, the traffic jam assist uses adaptive cruise control and the road departure mitigation system to automatically adjust the Pilot's speed based on the flow of traffic going under 40 mph.
• Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert: This system provides a live video feed of the Pilot's blind-spot area so you can see if a vehicle is coming up beside you before initiating a lane change. The rear cross-traffic alert lets you know if there's something or someone at the rear of your vehicle when you're in reverse. This feature comes standard on all but the base LX trim.
• Low-speed braking: When you're driving forward or backward between 1 mph and 6 mph and may collide with an object or person, the low-speed braking system will gently apply the brakes as a mitigation effect. 
• Front and rear parking sensors: This system sends an alert if it detects an object in the front or rear of the vehicle while you're parking.

The low-speed braking and front and rear parking sensors are only standard on the EX-L, TrailSport, Touring, and Elite trims.
