2025 Honda Pilot Touring: Features, Specs & Canadian Pricing

The 2025 Honda Pilot Touring is the comfort-focused choice near the top of Honda’s Canadian three-row SUV range. Its appeal is not a different engine, but the convenience and cabin equipment that can matter when one vehicle handles school runs, family visits and longer trips.

Watch our 2025 Honda Pilot Touring video below.

Models available

Canada offers Sport, EX-L, TrailSport, Touring and Black Edition. All have AWD. Touring seats eight, including a removable second-row centre seat that can be stored in the vehicle. TrailSport instead seats seven. Honda Canada specifications.

Engine and transmission

The 3.5L V6 delivers 285 horsepower and 262 lb-ft through a ten-speed automatic. Regular gasoline is specified. Touring does not bring extra engine output over the less expensive trims. Canadian powertrain details.

For a buyer deciding between EX-L and Touring, this keeps the question straightforward: are the cabin upgrades worth the extra money? A test drive should answer whether the powertrain suits your routes; the equipment list alone cannot establish acceleration feel, cabin noise or ride comfort.

What Touring adds

Touring includes ventilated front seats, a panoramic moonroof, 12-speaker Bose audio, a 10.2-inch instrument display and hands-free tailgate access. Its 9-inch touchscreen supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Touring equipment.

Try the controls with your own phone rather than judging only the screen size. Check that a passenger can connect easily, navigation directions remain readable and common climate adjustments are convenient. A premium audio badge also deserves a listening test with familiar music before you attach a dollar value to it.

Seating and family practicality

The flexible middle seat is worth demonstrating before purchase. Try removing it, finding its storage position and reinstalling it. Then repeat the third-row access exercise with your actual child-seat arrangement. A configuration that works in an empty showroom may be less useful once everyday equipment is installed.

Bring a stroller or the bags you normally travel with, and inspect the luggage area with every required seat upright. If you rarely carry eight people, consider whether the extra seating flexibility still matters more than the features of an alternative trim. Also measure the garage with room for the tailgate to open, not just room for the vehicle to fit.

Fuel consumption and towing

2025 Pilot Touring AWD	City	Highway	Combined
L/100 km	12.7	9.4	11.2

NRCan’s 2025 dataset gives Touring its own rating group. At 20,000 km annually, the combined rating represents approximately 2,240 litres before adjusting for your actual conditions.

Honda lists up to 2,268 kg of available towing capacity, with an accessory towing package required. Confirm equipment, payload and the owner’s manual limits for the exact vehicle; passenger and cargo loads still matter. Towing specification and footnote.

Recall checks before family use: Ask Honda to check the VIN and all outstanding repairs. Recall 2025049 covers certain 2025 Pilots whose third-row passenger-side belt may be trapped behind trim. If that belt cannot latch, Honda says not to carry a passenger in that seat until repaired; dealers inspect and correct its routing as needed. Recall 2025318 concerns a brake-pedal assembly that can move, impair braking or apply it unexpectedly; inspection and replacement may be required. Recall 2025029 addresses software that can stall the engine and is remedied by a fuel-injection control-unit update. These notices do not establish that the filmed vehicle is affected.

Canadian trim comparison and pricing

Historical Canadian base MSRPs, checked October 29, 2026. The figures below exclude freight/PDI, dealer fees, tax, licensing and options. They are not current used-vehicle values or an as-tested total. Exact-2025 base-price references: Sport; Calgary Honda’s EX-L, TrailSport, Touring and Black Edition. Original price-effective dates are not stated.

Trim	Base MSRP, CAD	Difference from Touring	Buying consideration
Sport	$53,350	Save $10,250	Entry to the same V6/AWD family
EX-L	$56,850	Save $6,750	Removable middle seat without Touring’s full upgrade set
TrailSport	$59,850	Save $3,750	Seven seats and all-terrain tires; a different priority
Touring	$63,600	Reference	Ventilated fronts, panoramic moonroof, Bose audio, 10.2-inch instruments and hands-free tailgate
Black Edition	$65,100	Add $1,500	Black exterior detailing and red cabin accents

The equipment distinctions follow Honda’s Canadian trim chart. EX-L deserves the first comparison if seating flexibility is your priority. Touring makes more sense when you will regularly use its extra comfort features. TrailSport is not simply a cheaper Touring: compare its different seating and tire setup against the way you use the vehicle.

Obtain itemized quotes on the same day before deciding. A discount on one remaining vehicle, accessory package or financing offer can change the practical gap between trims. Keep the purchase price separate from borrowing costs and trade-in value so you can see what you are actually paying for the upgrade.

Competition and buying verdict

Compare the Pilot with the Toyota Grand Highlander, Hyundai Palisade and Chevrolet Traverse using the same passenger and luggage checklist. Touring is a useful candidate when you want an equipment-rich family SUV without choosing a trim mainly for its darker appearance. Our video helps with the layout; your own seating check and test drive should settle the fit.

Frequently asked questions

Does Touring mean a more powerful Pilot?
No. Choose it for equipment rather than a higher-output engine.

Should I automatically buy the highest trim?
No. Compare the features you will actually use and the complete quoted price. A lower trim can leave more room in the budget for operating costs.
