Honda is giving the company's Pilot a mild refresh for 2012. The SUV will ditch its bulky front fascia for a slightly more restrained nose with a three-bar grille replacing the thick-chrome grin of the 2011 model. In addition, Honda plans to squeeze a little more fuel efficiency out of the SUV with a new transmission, saying it will boast the highest EPA-estimated mileage of any three-row crossover. The old five-speed automatic gearbox has been replaced with six-speed unit for 2012. Your Gorham NH Honda dealer, Berlin City Honda, has all the details on the all-new Honda Pilot.



It's the changes we can't see-from Honda's first picture of the new 2012 Honda Pilot, at least-that comprise the significant upgrades to the three-row crossover for 2012. Honda promises that the Pilot's fuel economy will improve, and we expect that this will largely be attributable to a six-speed automatic transmission taking the place of last year's five-cog unit. We're also told that the car's interior has been freshened, with "upgraded" navigation and audio systems.

Honda is throwing in a few interior updates as well. Buyers will be able to enjoy a slightly massaged cabin, complete with an updated navigation system and stereo to match. Finally, new paint colors and wheel options will round out the changes. The all-new 2012 Honda Pilot will arrive at our New Hampshire Honda Dealership in the next few weeks.
