How Flowood, MS Families Get More From the Honda Pilot’s AWD and Cabin Tech

Bob Boyte Honda - How Flowood, MS Families Get More From the Honda Pilot’s AWD and Cabin Tech

For active households balancing carpools, road trips, and weekend activities, capability and comfort matter equally. Two features consistently delight our drivers: the available i-VTM4® AWD System and the cabin tech that keeps everyone connected and content. In the Pilot, these strengths come together naturally, with confident traction and a family-friendly interior that excels on busy weekdays and open-road escapes. Around Flowood, MS, where weather and travel routines can change quickly, that blend of control and convenience stands out every day.

The available i-VTM4® AWD System is more than a traction assist. It is designed to actively distribute power to the wheels that can use it best, helping you feel planted on rain-soaked commutes, gravel driveways, or trailheads. When equipped, Trail mode is available on AWD EX-L and Touring and standard on TrailSport, Elite, and Black Edition, refining throttle and wheel control to help you maintain momentum on uneven surfaces. Pair this with up to 5,000 pounds of towing capacity when properly equipped and a standard trailer hitch on TrailSport, and you have the sort of weekend-ready confidence many families have on their wish lists.

Inside, smart technology transforms the cabin into a welcoming space for everyone on board. EX-L and above feature a 9-inch color touch-screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, so your apps, routes, and playlists are always in reach. A wireless phone charger also comes standard on EX-L and above to keep cords out of the way and devices powered up. For the long haul, Touring and above add Wi-Fi® hotspot capability and a Bose premium sound system that elevates podcasts and playlists into a rich audio experience. Meanwhile, CabinTalk® on EX-L and above means you no longer have to raise your voice to reach the third row—another thoughtful detail that makes family life easier.

In our conversations with shoppers, questions often focus on how these features help in real life. Below are a few quick highlights to clarify what matters most.

• i-VTM4® AWD System: Actively sends torque where it’s needed most to help maintain grip and stability on wet, snowy, or loose surfaces.
