As expected, Honda<\/a> has reworked its 2022 Pilot<\/a> trim lines and pricing to put much-needed space between it and the Passport<\/a>. When Pilot pricing emerged two months ago<\/a>, Honda omitted figures for the entry-level LX trim and the EX above it, informing everyone that there’d be a “well-equipped new entry trim level aimed at younger buyers and active lifestyles, offsetting the no longer available LX and EX entry trim levels.” Then a tipster wrote to tell us that a new entry-level Pilot Sport trim would replace the LX and EX and be “very similar” to the base Passport Sport. That tipster didn’t lie. Honda went a touch further with standard equipment on the Pilot Sport, giving it a heated front seats and a power driver’s seat, which the Passport Sport doesn’t get.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The carmaker’s going to charge for its largesse, though, with the 2022 Pilot Sport starting at $38,055 after the $1,225 destination charge. Adding all-wheel drive to the 2022 Pilot takes MSRP up to $40,055. The front-wheel-drive model comes in at $4,280 more than the former entry-level 2021 Pilot LX, partly reflected in the new Pilot’s larger 20-inch wheels and larger eight-inch infotainment display. More important, it puts next year’s Pilot $4,040 above the Passport. In 2021, the base Passport started at $34,015, which was $240 more than the 2021 Pilot LX. In conjunction with the Passport’s new redesign that further separates it from the Pilot, buyers hopefully won’t need to stand on the dealership<\/a> floor wondering why they shouldn’t just take the third row for less money.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Further up the trim chain, the 2022 Pilot TrailSport will start at $44,785 after destination. This puts it smack-dab in the middle of the seven-strong lineup: the Sport, EX-L, and Special Edition below; Touring, Elite, and Black Edition above. The Pilot TrailSport boasts standard kit like all-wheel drive, a leather interior, and 18-inch wheels on chunky-ish 245-section tires. Honda hasn’t released pricing for the 2022 Passport TrailSport yet. If the automaker slots the two-row crossover<\/a> into the middle of its lineup as with the Pilot, there’s a good chance it will maintain the roughly $4,000 separation from the Pilot.\u00a0<\/p>\n
