Does the Honda Pilot Have AWD?

2023 Honda Pilot rear tail light

Is the Honda Pilot four-wheel drive? Culver City-area drivers love the new Honda Pilot for its robust V6 engine and 10-speed automatic transmission that deliver powerful performance and smooth driving dynamics. If you’re looking for a new SUV in Los Angeles, you could be wondering, “Is the Honda Pilot all-wheel drive?” While the 2023 Honda Pilot comes standard with front-wheel drive, its available Intelligent Variable Torque Management All-Wheel Drive (i-VTM4® AWD) system has been newly upgraded with a pair of clutch packs for the ultimate traction on every drive. Learn more about the Honda Pilot AWD system before you schedule a test drive at our dealership in Los Angeles.

Honda Pilot AWD Models

There are six Honda Pilot trim levels from which to choose:

  • Honda Pilot LX
  • Honda Pilot Sport
  • Honda Pilot EX-L
  • Honda Pilot TrailSport
  • Honda Pilot Touring
  • Honda Pilot Elite

The Honda Intelligent Variable Torque Management™ (i-VTM4®) AWD System is standard with the Honda Pilot Elite and TrailSport and is available on all other trims.

How Does the Honda Pilot AWD System Work?

As you drive, the Honda Pilot i-VTM4® AWD system automatically senses the torque each wheel axle needs and continuously adjusts the power to each wheel to provide maximum traction. This helps maintain control and safe braking, whether you’re driving on wet or slippery roads conditions in Torrance or taking your Honda Pilot off-road near Westchester on the weekend.

Honda Pilot Performance Features

While the Honda Pilot all-wheel drive capabilities are impressive, additional performance features across the lineup contribute to providing a confident ride on Westchester streets and beyond. Check out the Honda Pilot performance specs and features below:

  • Direct-Injected 3.5L V6 engine with 285 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque
  • 10-Speed Automatic Transmission with Shift-By-Wire (SBW) and Paddle Shifters
  • MacPherson Strut Front Suspension
  • Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) with Traction Control
  • 5,000-pound towing capacity

When heading off the beaten path, the Honda Pilot off-roads like a dream thanks to its fully independent suspension system, as well as features like Hill Descent Control, Hill Start Assist, and the all-new TrailWatch™ system, which displays a live feed of the surrounding terrain on your in-cabin screen. TrailWatch™ automatically activates in Trail driving mode.
