2009 Honda Pilot features
The 2009 Honda Pilot comes in four main levels of trim. Because Honda doesn’t offer optional factory equipment per se, it slots in sub-models that package features other automakers sell individually. Overall, Honda says 65 percent of 2009 Pilots will be ordered with AWD.

The entry-level 2009 Honda Pilot LX starts at $27,595 with front-wheel drive and $29,195 with AWD. Among the LX’s standard equipment is front and rear air conditioning, an audio system with a subwoofer and auxiliary input jack, manual driver’s seat-height adjustment, split fold-down second- and third-row seats, and integrated trailer hitch. Honda pegs the LX at about 10 percent of 2009 Pilot sales.

The EX version adds as standard upgraded cloth upholstery, alloy wheels, power driver’s seat, CD changer, steering wheel audio controls, fog lights, exterior temperature gauge, heated side mirrors, and body-color exterior side trim. The base price for the 2009 Pilot EX is $30,395 ($31,995 with AWD).

For about $2,500 more, the EX-L adds leather upholstery, power moonroof, heated front seats, and a power front passenger seat. It also gets an interior rearview mirror with an integrated rearview-camera screen that displays a small video image of what’s behind when the Pilot is shifted into reverse. Add another $1,600 to get the EX-L RES version. RES stands for “rear entertainment system” and brings a rear DVD player with a 9-inch-diamter screen. Honda says the EX range in all its forms will account for about 60 percent of 2009 Pilot sales.

Starting at $36,795 is the Touring Navi model with a voice-activated navigation system that includes a rearview camera and hands-free Bluetooth phone link, plus front and rear parking sensors, a power tailgate, memory seats and mirrors, a USB port, second-row window sunshades, mirror-mounted turn indicators, and chrome body side trim. Top-of-the-line at $38,395 is the Touring R/N, which adds the DVD system to the Touring Navi model.

Honda estimates these new-for-2009 Touring models will snare 30 percent of Pilot sales. It says Touring buyers will come from households with annual incomes over $110,000 and be people who want all the luxury amenities but don’t’ want to pay a premium for a luxury brand.
