The Pilot Touring and Elite also come standard with Honda Sensing, driver assisted technology made available to most high-end Honda models. This suite of safety technology includes:

  • Lane Departure Warning
  • Lane Keeping Assist System
  • Road Departure Mitigation
  • Adaptive Cruise Control
  • Forward Collision Warning

Honda Sensing is also available for the EX and EX-L. When all optional safety technologies are used, IIHS gave the Pilot a superior safety rating.

2016 Honda Pilots Side and Roof Strength

The IIHS also looked at the strength of the sides and roof in the Honda Pilot. The driver and passengers are protected well, and the IIHS indicated that there was low risk to anyone being injured in an accident from the side or the rear. In the event of a rollover, all occupants are protected by a curtain airbag that deploys.

Getting a top safety rating from the IIHS is a very big deal. Bradenton 2016 Pilot owners can rest assured they are driving around in one of the safest SUVs on the road.
