This is probably the very first look at the 2016 Pilot. Spied by a TOV member in So Cal.

TOV member "newdetroit" posted this image on TOV earlier today, thinking it was maybe an Acura SUV, due to the Acura wheels. But considering the fact that the current MDX is still pretty much brand new, and this vehicle looks nothing like an MDX, we're pretty sure it's a test mule for the upcoming 2016 Honda Pilot, if only for the boxy profile.

Third generation Honda Pilot spied inside and out:

Styling tweaks appear to be substantial

The all-new Honda Pilot has been spied for the first time while undergoing testing in the deserts of California.

Now in its second generation, Honda's Pilot mid-size crossover looks bland even though it received a facelift for the 2012 model year. Hopefully that will all change with the third generation grabbed on camera for the first time by our spy photographers. The prototypes spotted in the deserts of California were wearing extensive camouflage which could indicate a significant makeover is in the works although the overall shape of the car will remain just about the same.

The front fascia appears to be more expressive and will feature a redesigned grille while the headlights come with new graphics and boast some LED elements. Moreover, the front bumper has also gone through surgery and houses massive turn signals as well as the fog lamps which have been placed low. The back was heavily camouflaged but we can already see the taillights are very different from those fitted onto the current Pilot facelift.

Moving inside the cabin, gone are the round air vents as Honda has decided to use a vertical arrangement and the central ones are flanking a generous touchscreen display. Another major change is the gear selector repositioned from the dashboard to the center tunnel for a more conventional layout.

According to our sources, the overhauled Honda Pilot will come with a direct-injection V6 3.5-liter engine benefiting from the latest Earth Dreams technology. Output is expected to significantly rise from today's 250 bhp (186 kW) to approximately 310 bhp (231 kW). It is believed front-wheel drive versions will feature a CVT whereas AWD models will be equipped with a six-speed manual gearbox.

The third generation Honda Pilot will reportedly be introduced next spring and should go on sale a few months later as a 2016MY.

Less camo seen on these 2016 Honda Pilot test prototypes

http://www.vtec.net/news/news-item?news_item_id=1218542

Unfortunately we can only see one clear shot of the rear, and a somewhat blurry shot of the rear 3/4 view of this 2016 Pilot engineering prototype, recently caught testing on public roads out in the Rocky Mountains.

The good news is that this vehicle is clearly getting closer to production, and carrying less padded camo. It has long been rumored that the third generation Pilot would be sleeker than its boxy progenitor, and it appears that these rumors have some merit.

We're not sure when Honda will be showing the new Pilot, but it's definitely not next week at the 2015 NAIAS. We will be in Detroit covering the show, hopefully bringing lots of good news, information, video, and photography from the show floor. Hopefully we will soon see some more photos of the 2016 Pilot testing in the wild.

Honda teases 2016 Pilot ahead of Chicago debut




Honda has released a teaser for the next-generation Pilot, due to make its official debut at the Chicago Auto Show.

The teaser sketch shows significant changes to the Pilot's exterior design, stepping away from the current model's blocky form in favor of a more streamlined profile with sweeping lines.

Additional details remain scarce, though Honda vaguely promises new technology, improved safety, 'class-leading' fuel economy and enhanced versatility.

"Honda continues to fortify its light-truck lineup in 2015, this time turning our eye to the fast-growing family SUV segment," said Honda VP Jeff Conrad. "The new Pilot will raise the bar in a segment it helped to create, with more innovation, style, premium features and family utility than ever before."

The 2016 Pilot will be unveiled on February 12.
