If you plan to buy a stylish and versatile family car, it's time to start thinking about the 2024 Honda Pilot. This redesigned family vehicle maintains the same dimensions as the 2023 edition, making it the largest in Honda's SUV lineup. It embodies Honda's approach to combining a family-friendly design with versatility. It doesn't get any better than this.
Many automobile enthusiasts expect this SUV to maintain the roomy and comfortable interior associated with all generations of the Honda Pilot. The cargo and passenger dimensions of the upcoming 2024 model are similar to that of the revamped 2023 edition. The design is already out, so aspiring buyers shouldn't expect significant changes to the interior dimensions of the new Honda Pilot. This three-row SUV is just as big and long as its predecessor, but we should expect more additions to infotainment, safety, connectivity, and convenience features for extra passenger comfort and luxury.
This guide from the team at Ciocca Honda of York, Pennsylvania, explores what to expect regarding cargo and passenger dimensions in the 2024 Honda Pilot.
Front and Rear Passenger Space
There are many reasons to consider the 2024 Honda Pilot as your next purchase. This SUV has a roomy and comfortable interior, with a spacious cabin that allows for more movement and ensures comfort during long trips, especially with children or elderly passengers.
Traveling for hours in a cramped vehicle cabin can leave you stiff and uncomfortable. Fortunately, this won't be the case with the 2024 Honda Pilot, as this SUV promises a pleasant experience wherever your travels take you. It offers passengers ample legroom, headroom, shoulder room, and hip room. The total passenger volume is 158.4 cubic feet, and the vehicle will comfortably accommodate up to eight people.
The front row has 41 inches of legroom and 40.5 inches of headroom. The shoulder room measures 61.9 inches, and the hip room is 58.4 inches. The front row also has plenty of space between the driver's and front passenger's seats. The expansive center console ensures improved driver focus, as there's minimal distraction from the front passenger.
The second-row seating slices a few decimals from the interior dimensions, still leaving plenty of room for comfort. The legroom measures 40.8 inches, the headroom is 40.2 inches, the shoulder room is 61.7 inches, and the hip room is 57.4 inches.
Aside from its roomy design, the 2024 Honda Pilot has leather-trimmed seats for maximum comfort. Depending on the trim, you can select between heated, perforated, and ventilated seats for the first two rows. The front passenger seat comes with four-way adjustment settings — you can move it forward, backward, up, or down to customize your comfort.
Third-Row Dimensions
Since the 2024 Honda Pilot is a three-row crossover SUV, it's ideal for large families. The third row is a bit smaller than the first two rows with legroom of 32.5 inches and headroom of 39.3 inches. The shoulder room is 59.5 inches, and the hip room measures 44.6 inches.
The difference is insignificant, and the seats will be as comfortable as those in the first two rows. Unlike other SUVs, the third-row seats in the 2024 Honda Pilot are suitable for adults as well as kids, and all rows can safely and comfortably accommodate all ages.
Cargo Capacity
The 2024 Honda Pilot stands out for its generous trunk space. The extra cargo space ensures you don't leave anything behind during your trips around Pennsylvania and beyond. Furthermore, it has a towing rating of 5,000 pounds for the all-wheel-drive model, and 3,500 pounds for the front-wheel-drive model, allowing towing of heavy equipment for adventures.
While it only offers 18.6 cubic feet of cargo space with all seats in use, the vehicle's versatility will allow you to fold the second- and third-row seats to create more space. Folding the third row will give you 48.5 cubic feet of trunk space, and folding the second row provides a maximum cargo capacity of 87 cubic feet.
Aside from its expansive cargo capacity, the 2024 Honda Pilot provides numerous storage solutions, so you won't have to restrict everything to the trunk. The cargo area has hidden side compartments for storing personal items. Moreover, all doors have storage compartments, with the third row featuring storage bins on the side panels. Other nifty solutions include beverage holders, seat pockets, and a multifunctional center console.
Comparison With Rivals
The 2024 Honda Pilot is unmatched in interior comfort and cargo space, but comparing different SUVs can help you make an informed purchase decision. It also confirms whether the Honda Pilot lives up to the billing as the most spacious and comfortable family SUV. Here's a comparative evaluation of the 2024 Honda Pilot against its primary competitors.
Toyota Highlander
The Toyota Highlander is the Honda Pilot's top competitor. It is stylish with a well-organized cabin, but it doesn't match the 2024 Honda Pilot as far as space and comfort are concerned. The Honda Pilot has superior interior dimensions. For instance, the Highlander has a total passenger volume of 141.8 cubic feet, while the Honda Pilot offers 158.4 cubic feet. The cargo capacity of the Highlander is 84.3 cubic feet compared to the Honda Pilot's 87 cubic feet.
Kia Telluride
The 2024 Kia Telluride is another family SUV renowned for its impressive specifications. It has similar front and rear cabin dimensions and the same cargo capacity, but it needs to improve its overall seating configuration. The third-row dimensions can be uncomfortable and leave you cramped during long journeys, and the third-row legroom isn't quite enough for adult passengers and older kids. This shortcoming gives the 2024 Honda Pilot the upper hand.
