The 2022 Honda Pilot Sport is a midsize crossover SUV with enough seats that make it dependable for rideshare drivers commuting around western Fairfax County. It’s also a suitable set of wheels for large families that frequent vacations outside of the Chantilly area. But what are the features that make this SUV such a great choice? Follow us through this overview from Honda of Chantilly to learn more. 

Interior Features

When you open the driver-side door of the 2022 Honda Pilot, you’ll see an 8-passenger seating capacity, which is about 152.9 cubic ft. of space for crewmates. The premium fabric woven into these chairs provides comfort that complements the tri-zone automatic climate control system. That way, you can enjoy a temperature that’s different from the front co-pilot and crewmembers in the rear part of the cockpit. While you’re cruising along Northbourne Drive, turn on the standard SiriusXM®¹ radio and listen to music and podcasts from around the world. If you prefer the sounds of a custom playlist, connect your smartphone using Android Auto™² or Apple CarPlay®³. This way, you’re able to use apps from your device on the Pilot’s 8-inch touch display. 

Capabilities

The 2022 Honda Pilot Sport carries a standard 3.5L V6 powertrain that produces 280 horsepower⁴ and 262 lb.-ft. of torque⁵. Meanwhile, the standard drivetrain is a 2WD system, but you can opt for the available Intelligent Variable Torque Management™ AWD for stronger traction on highways like Interstate 66. Shift through this ride’s gear ratios with ease when commanding the standard 9-speed automatic transmission. Plus, you’ll have multiple drive modes at your disposal. For instance, 2WD has Normal and Snow modes; however, AWD adds Mud and Sand settings. The drivetrains of this set of wheels also affect the estimated mileage. When you’re using the 2WD system, your fuel economy will be 20/27/23 city/hwy/combined⁶, but the optional AWD has a rating of 19/26/22 city/hwy/combined⁶. 

Exterior Features

Before we end this review, let’s talk about what the exterior is like. You can toss any concerns about lighting away because the LED bulbs installed in the headlamp, taillights, and fog lights can illuminate stubborn darkness as you commute on streets like Stringfellow Road. You’ll also find the 2022 Pilot Sport in various color palettes, such as Platinum White Peal, Modern Steel Metallic, and Crystal Black Pearl. Additionally, the bold body style will turn heads when you pull up to Greenbriar Park. The Sport trim also has Gloss-Black heated side mirrors. Let’s not forget the standard 20-inch alloy wheels and tires, which keep you high off the ground and allow you to trample rugged terrain with little effort.
