Honda Korea Launches 2021 Pilot Model with Enhanced Boarding and Alighting Convenience

[Asia Economy Reporter Suyeon Woo] Honda Korea announced on the 12th that it will launch the 2021 model year update of the large sport utility vehicle (SUV) Pilot in the domestic market.

The 2021 Pilot features added convenience options to assist passengers with easy boarding and alighting, along with enhanced design elements.

To facilitate easier foot placement when getting in and out, new running boards have been installed to improve passenger convenience. The newly installed running boards feature chrome lines, adding a sense of unity with the exterior design and a robust feel. Additionally, spotlights are applied under the running boards to brightly illuminate the ground outside during boarding and alighting, helping ensure safe and convenient entry and exit.

LED-type side step garnishes engraved with the 'PILOT' logo have also been newly installed at the lower entrance of the 1st and 2nd row doors. When the doors open, the logo lights up, giving a sophisticated and luxurious impression. Furthermore, a trunk cargo cover that protects cargo from ultraviolet rays and helps prevent theft has been added to the accessory line for optional purchase.

The 2021 Honda Pilot is sold in a single 'Elite' trim, available in three colors: White, Metal, and Black. The interior features light gray leather seats. Despite the increase in convenience features, the price remains the same as the previous model at 59.5 million KRW (including VAT).

The Pilot is equipped with a V6 3.5ℓ direct injection i-VTEC engine, delivering a maximum output of 284 horsepower and a peak torque of 36.2 kg·m. Fuel efficiency is also excellent, with a combined mileage of 8.4 km/ℓ.

The Pilot includes Honda's advanced driving assistance system, 'Honda SENSING,' to support safe driving. It also achieves outstanding quietness through acoustic glass and the ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) system. Various convenience features for passengers are applied, including 2nd-row captain seats, heated and ventilated front seats, heated 2nd-row seats, a rear entertainment system, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay.
