Pros & cons

Honda Pilot EX-L

AWD traction adds confidence in wet or snowy conditions
Quick enough for daily merging and passing (0-100 km/h in 6.5 s)
Good value in its segment at a 35,000 price point
Only five seats; not ideal if you need a third row
450 L trunk may feel tight for cargo-heavy use
Not aimed at performance driving; enthusiasts may want sharper dynamics
For very long single-leg highway travel, the 500 km range will still need charging stops

Strong reliability and safety signals
Efficient for its class at 5.7 L/100 km
700 km range reduces fuel stops on road trips
Good value in its segment at about 33,500
Listed 106 L trunk points to limited cargo space for bulky items
Not positioned as a premium choice
