Pilot vs. Explorer: Available Features
You should expect to find flagship technology available with 3-row crossover SUVs, and the Honda Pilot complies by offering:
- 10.2-inch High-Resolution Advanced Rear Entertainment System: Plays from a Blu-Ray™ Player and Built-In Streaming Apps to keep rear passengers happy during longer drives.
- CabinTalk® In-Car PA System: Prevents you having to raise your voice to be heard by picking it up through a front microphone and playing it through rear speakers.
