2020 Honda Pilot Launches with New Line-Topping Black Edition Trim
•New Black Edition adds exclusive exterior and interior styling enhancements•Honda Sensing® standard on all trim levels, plus available HondaLink with 4G LTE Wi-Fi, CabinTalk™ and CabinControl™ app
•Honda i-VTM4® torque-vectoring all-wheel drive available on all trims
Fresh from a thorough style and technology update for model year 2019, the 2020 Honda Pilot begins arriving in dealerships tomorrow with the addition of a new Black Edition trim. Positioned at the top of the Pilot lineup and with a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP1) of $49,620, the new Black Edition features exclusive styling touches that distinguish it from the rest of the Pilot family.
The 2020 Pilot Black Edition is based on the Elite trim and features numerous exterior and interior styling enhancements. Like the similar Honda Ridgeline Black Edition, the Pilot Black Edition comes exclusively in Crystal Black Pearl paint and includes Black Edition badges on the grille and tailgate. Pilot Black Edition also includes black-painted 20-inch alloy wheels, and blackout treatments for the grille, headlight trim, side trim, door handles, window trim and fog light accents. Inside, there is red accent lighting for the dash, doors and center console, with red accent stitching on the front and second row captain's chairs, door panels and steering wheel. The Black Edition logo is embossed on front seats and floor mats, and the front and second-row seats also get a red accent to the perforated leather seating surface.
The 2020 Pilot LX with standard 2-wheel drive carries a starting MSRP of $31,550 (excluding $1,095 destination and handling) and comes with the full suite of Honda Sensing® suite of safety and driver-assistive systems as standard equipment. The all-wheel drive Pilot LX carries a starting MSRP of $33,550 and adds Honda's exclusive i-VTM4® torque-vectoring all-wheel drive system.
The aggressive new styling introduced to Pilot last year emphasizes its capabilities while highlighting the state-of-the-art technology and family-friendly character that has made it one of the most popular midsize three-row SÚVs. Pilot also remains one of the few models in its segment to offer eight seats (seven with the optional second-row Captain's Chairs), with available three-person capacity in both the second and third rows. Third row access is made simple and easy by the available One-Touch Walk-In feature. In addition to standard Honda Sensing, technology highlights include an available 8-inch touchscreen Display Audio system with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, CabinTalk™ in-vehicle public address system, wireless smartphone charging, and a hands-free power tailgate. Touring, Elite and Black Edition trims feature 4G LTE in-vehicle Wi-Fi capability/compatibility, enabling expanded subscription-based HondaLink® services that include Amazon Key In-Car Delivery2, geo-fencing and speed alerts for parents of teen drivers, a stolen vehicle locator, enhanced roadside assistance, automatic collision notification, remote start, and even personal concierge services.3
The 2020 Pilot's robust off-road and all-weather driving capabilities are assisted by Honda's available intelligent Variable Torque Management system (i-VTM4®) with true torque-vectoring. Standard on all AWD trims, i-VTM4® uses an electronically-controlled, hydraulically-actuated rear differential to apportion engine torque between the front and rear axles, and dynamically distribute torque between the left and right rear wheels. The benefits are superior all-weather handling, and neutral, accurate steering under power.Source - Honda
