The Pilot has been a standout family SUV, loved by many, with more than 100,000 units sold annually for three consecutive years in the North American market. The newly revealed Black Edition features a bolder and stronger design through a facelift, and enhancements have been made to its safety and convenience features.

Exterior changes-including the front grille, front and rear bumpers, and wheel design-give it an even more commanding presence compared to the previous model. Inside, the use of Alcantara material creates a more luxurious atmosphere, and convenience features have been improved, including the addition of a 12.3-inch center display. Steering feel, cabin quietness, and safety features have also been upgraded, further enhancing the vehicle’s competitiveness.

The powertrain remains the same, equipped with a V6 3.5-liter direct-injection DOHC i-VTEC engine and a 10-speed automatic transmission, delivering powerful driving performance. The advanced driver assistance system, Honda Sensing, is included, and the vehicle has been recognized for its high level of safety by receiving the TSP designation in crash tests conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in the United States.

The retail price is set at 78.8 million won (including VAT), with the official launch scheduled for May. Honda Korea will offer pre-order customers an engine oil coupon valid for up to 8 years or 80,000 km and a special gift set.
