The refreshed 2026 Honda Pilot is making its way to dealers with a range of improvements including enhanced driving experience, additional standard technology, and a bold new design. However, this facelift comes with a significant price increase, with costs rising more than $2,000, prompting consumers to weigh options against competitors like the Hyundai Palisade. While the updated Honda Pilot does offer more tech and rugged features, it now starts at $42,195 and can reach up to $55,550 for higher trims with upgraded interiors and safety technology. Despite the price hike, Honda aims to maintain appeal as a family-friendly, versatile SUV ideal for light off-road adventures.
