Notes and sources
- Fuel economy: EPA combined test-cycle figure for the configuration PILOT FWD (19 city, 27 highway). EPA data dated 2025-08-22, the date EPA wrote the workbook in 25data.zip.↩
- CO₂: EPA's tailpipe rating for the car driven as rated on the test cycle — 402 g/mi, or 250 g/km.↩
- Fuel cost: EPA's own annual estimate for this car is $2,400, on EPA's assumptions. At this week's price it is $2,709: 13,800 mi a year at the EPA combined figure, priced at $4.319 per gallon — the U.S. Energy Information Administration's weekly U.S. average for regular gasoline, all formulations, on 2026-09-14. Five years at that price: $13,546. Both are estimates; neither is a measured figure.↩
- Power: 285 hp is the rated figure, from EPA test-car data.↩
- Crash rating: NHTSA's overall rating for the front-wheel-drive 2025 Pilot — frontal 4, side 5, rollover 4 stars. NHTSA data as of 2026-09-10.↩
- Recall campaigns: NHTSA's count for this nameplate (PILOT), as of 2026-09-10. Each is repaired free of charge by dealers.↩
- Complaints per 10,000 built: computed here from NHTSA's complaint count for the Pilot nameplate (197, of which 15 describe a crash, fire, injury or death) and the 240,955 vehicles NHTSA's own early-warning production reports place on it (2026 Q1). No publisher states the rate itself.↩
- Kerb weight: the crash-tested vehicle (NHTSA NCAP), 4,440 lb (2,014 kg); corroborated by the EPA test weight.↩
- EPA test weight: 4,750 lb (2,155 kg) is the equivalent test weight class EPA tested this configuration at, not the kerb weight.↩
- Warranty: 3 years or 36,000 miles, from Honda's published 2025 warranty statement, compiled into carstandings.com's warranty table.↩
- Registrations: 15,184 Pilots of this model year on New York's roads, from the NY DMV registration file as of 2026-09-02.↩
- This car is measured on the petrol scale: miles per gallon, the tailpipe CO₂ rating and whole-car horsepower. MPGe and charge-weighted CO₂ are electric-scale quantities and do not apply to it.↩
- Price: no free, resellable source publishes a price for any 2025 car sold in the United States, so none is shown for any car in this market.↩
