Prices Announced for 2009 Honda Pilot, On Sale Tomorrow

Posted by Published in Car Buying

We’ve already reviewed the new Pilot and even had a Touring trim in the fleet recently, but the public’s first chance to tryout drive one will be that week, as it hits dealerships starting tomorrow.

Here are the prices for each trim:

LX FWD: $27,595
LX AWD: $29,195
EX FWD: $30,395
EX AWD: $31,995
EX-L FWD: $33,595
EX-L AWD: $35,195
Touring FWD: $36,795
Touring AWD: $38,395

Check out our comparisons to the 2008’s pricing — which might surprise you — and what each trim level packs for the punch below.

The LX trim replaces final year’s VP trim level. It comes in at precisely the same price, but with more composition. The AWD LX is $200 more than the 2008 VP AWD was.
The EX trim is $650 more for FWD and $850 more for AWD.
The SE trim is no longer available.
The EX-L is much more expensive than final year’s was. How much more? $1,050 for FWD and $1,750 for AWD.
Touring is a new trim level.
