The 2013 Honda Pilot’s line-up includes 4 trim levels, which are LX, EX, EX-L, and Touring. The price for the base trim LX is $29,520. It comes with 17-inch wheels, automatic headlights, cruise control, tri-zone automatic climate control, a 7-speaker audio system, a rearview camera, Bluetooth connectivity, a CD player, etc. The next in line is the EX trim. It gets all the features standard on the base model and adds 18-inch wheels, fog lights, heated side-view mirrors, and an 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat. For a price difference of over $6,000, the EX doesn’t add much value.

The EX-L is priced at $35,020. Buying this trim will unlock features like leather upholstery, a sunroof, power liftgate, heated front seats, 10-way power adjusting driver’s seat, 4-way power adjusting passenger seat, auto-dimming rearview mirror, etc. Some features which are optional on the EX-L are rear-seat entertainment, voice-activated navigation system, etc. The top-tier Touring trim, costing a hefty price tag of $39,670, comes standard with all the above-mentioned features, including the optional features on the EX-L. It further adds roof rails, parking sensors, memory functions for the driver’s seat, and a 10-speaker premium audio system.
We Recommend
Out of the four trims available for the 2013 Honda Pilot, the EX-L is the most practical. It offers a lot more than the EX and is almost $5,000 cheaper than the Touring. Even with the AWD drivetrain and additional features of navigation or rear-seat entertainment, it costs just around $38,500, which is a sweet deal.
