About This 2019 Honda Pilot EX

This 2019 Honda Pilot EX Sport Utility comes finished in blue and is currently in stock at Siry Motors - San Diego (Stock #J1979). The Pilot is built on Honda's light truck platform and has consistently ranked among the most reliable three-row SUVs on the market. At just over 114,000 miles, a well-maintained Pilot EX still has a great deal of life ahead of it — many owners report trouble-free operation well past 200,000 miles when routine maintenance is kept up. If you've been shopping used three-row SUVs in San Diego County and want something that won't surprise you with costly repairs, the Pilot's track record speaks for itself.

2019 Honda Pilot Performance and Engine

Under the hood, this Pilot runs Honda's 3.5-liter i-VTEC V6 — a smooth, well-balanced engine producing 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive, it delivers confident acceleration for a vehicle this size. The 2WD configuration keeps weight down and helps with fuel efficiency — expect roughly 19 city / 27 highway MPG, which is competitive for a full-size three-row SUV. For most San Diego buyers who aren't regularly tackling off-road terrain, 2WD is perfectly suited to coastal driving, freeway commutes, and family road trips up to Big Bear or down to Baja.

Honda Pilot EX Features and Interior

What the EX Trim Includes

The EX trim sits a meaningful step above the base LX, adding features that genuinely improve the ownership experience. Expect Honda Sensing — the brand's comprehensive suite of driver-assistance technology including collision mitigation braking, lane keeping assist, road departure mitigation, and adaptive cruise control. The EX also includes a power moonroof, heated front seats, a power tailgate, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility via an 8-inch touchscreen, and dual-zone automatic climate control.

Space and Comfort

Inside, the Pilot lives up to its family-hauler reputation. Seating for up to eight passengers across three rows makes it one of the more practical options in its class. The second row offers generous legroom, and Honda's tri-zone climate system keeps everyone comfortable. Cargo space behind the third row is adequate for grocery runs, and folding the rear seats flat opens up a genuinely impressive amount of load area — useful for weekend trips or hauling gear around San Diego and beyond.

Honda Pilot Reliability and Ownership

The 2019 Pilot benefits from a mid-cycle refresh that addressed earlier transmission concerns from the 2016-2018 model years. The 6-speed automatic found in this vehicle is a simpler, more proven unit compared to the 9-speed that caused headaches in some earlier Pilots — a meaningful detail if you're comparing model years. Honda's i-VTEC V6 has decades of refinement behind it and is widely regarded by independent mechanics as one of the more straightforward engines to maintain. Common ownership costs are modest: timing belt-free (it uses a timing chain), standard brake and fluid service, and well-documented maintenance schedules. J.D. Power and Consumer Reports both consistently rate the Pilot above average for reliability in its class.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2019 Honda Pilot a good buy?

Yes — the 2019 model year is widely considered one of the better years for the Pilot. It includes the Honda Sensing safety suite as standard on most trims, uses the more reliable 6-speed automatic transmission, and benefits from Honda's long-standing reputation for building SUVs that last well beyond 150,000 miles with proper care.

How many miles is too many on a used Honda Pilot?

Honda Pilots are known to be durable well past 200,000 miles when maintained properly. At 114,546 miles, this Pilot is firmly in mid-life territory — not a concern for buyers who plan to keep up with oil changes, transmission fluid service, and routine inspections. The key is reviewing maintenance history and having a pre-purchase inspection done by a trusted local mechanic.

What does the Honda Pilot EX trim include?

The EX adds significantly to the base LX, most notably the Honda Sensing driver-assistance package, a power moonroof, heated front seats, remote engine start, power tailgate, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and dual-zone automatic climate control. It's considered a strong value point within the Pilot lineup.

Does the 2019 Honda Pilot EX have Apple CarPlay?

Yes. The 2019 Pilot EX includes an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, making it easy to use navigation, music, and messaging apps directly from your phone.

Is a 2WD Honda Pilot okay in Southern California?

For the vast majority of driving in the San Diego area — including highways, surface streets, and even mountain roads in dry conditions — front-wheel drive is more than adequate. AWD becomes relevant mainly for regular snow driving or serious off-road use, neither of which applies to most San Diego County drivers.
