Getting behind the wheel of the 2016 Honda Pilot is a smart decision if safety is one of your primary goals. The Pilot has an excellent array of safety features, both as standard and available. It offers passive, active, and technology-based amenities.
Standard Passive Safety
Every single 2016 Pilot has an incredible number of passive safety features to protect every occupant in your vehicle. These include the Advanced Compatibility Engineering Body Structure, SmartVent front side airbags, dual-stage front airbags with multiple thresholds, and three-row side curtain airbags featuring a rollover sensor. The Pilot also has three-point seatbelts throughout, including automatic tensioning in the front and a LATCH system with attachments in multiple locations in the rear rows of seats. As a family-oriented vehicle, the Pilot also has child-proof rear door locks and seatbelt reminders in front.
Standard Active Safety
While the list of standard passive safety features in the 2016 Honda Pilot is impressive, it gets even better when you factor in standard active safety. Things like an antilock braking system, traction control, Vehicle Stability Assist, Brake Assist, electronic brake distribution, tire pressure monitoring with indicators for location and Tire Fill Assist, and daytime running lights further increase protection. You even get a standard multi-angle rearview camera featuring guidelines, which are on all but the base trim, which has regular guidelines.
Available Honda Sensing
To show just how much of a priority Honda makes safety, it included the Honda Sensing suite as an optional feature across the Pilot lineup with the only exception being the base LX trim. This suite adds features like Collision Mitigation Braking, Lane Keeping Assist System, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Road Departure Mitigation. In addition, it comes standard on the top two trim levels. It is also worth mentioning that all but the base model of the Pilot comes with Honda LaneWatch. However, the top trim swaps it out for a traditional Blind Spot Monitoring System featuring a Cross Traffic Monitor.
