What are two of the favorite features you’ll find in the 2022 Honda Pilot Elite?

The CabinTalk and Torque Vectoring features are among the favorites for the Elite trim of the 2022 Honda Pilot SUV.

Because the Elite trim is above the Touring model, you have the benefit of CabinTalk in this Honda SUV. This feature lets you talk to passengers in the rear through the Pilot’s speakers. Even if these passengers use the headphones that come with the entertainment system, you’ll be able to talk to them.

The Torque Vectoring system enhances the drive in this SUV. The Elite trim is one of the Pilot trims with standard AWD, which brings this feature to your drive. Torque vectoring allows the outside wheel to spin faster than the inside wheel, giving you a sharper turning radius around curves.

How much does the Honda Pilot Elite cost?

The Pilot Elite SUV costs nearly $50,000. This is a comparable price to other midsize three-row SUVs with the same equipment.

Should you choose the Elite trim of this Honda SUV?

If you want some impressive features that allow the 2022 Honda Pilot to feel like a luxury SUV, the Elite trim makes a strong case for itself. On the other hand, if you’re looking for more features in this Honda SUV, the Black Edition model is at the top of the list for the Pilot.
