    The all-new Honda Pilot looks boxier than the version it replaces and is also touted as the most off-road capable Honda SUV ever thanks to several technical upgrades and special off-road features including raised off-road tuned suspension, steel skid plates, all-terrain tyres, and extended all-wheel drive system capabilities.

    "The Honda Pilot has been a family favourite for two decades, and now we've made it even better with more space and refinement inside, cool new rugged styling outside, and substantially increased off-road performance to back it up," said Mamadou Diallo, vice president of Auto Sales, American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "Topping it off, the new Pilot TrailSport is an authentic, off-road-capable SUV for true weekend adventures, without sacrificing comfort and on-road dynamics for daily driving."
