Honda Sensing® — Standard on Every 2026 Pilot Trim
Every 2026 Honda Pilot — from the base Sport to the Black Edition — comes standard with Honda Sensing®, Honda's suite of active safety and driver-assistive technologies. No upgrade package required.
Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™)
Detects vehicles and pedestrians ahead and alerts you to a potential collision. If you don't respond, CMBS can automatically apply the brakes to help reduce collision severity or avoid impact entirely.
Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM)
Monitors lane markings and alerts you if the Pilot begins to drift off the road. If needed, RDM applies gentle steering and braking to help keep the vehicle on course.
Lane Keeping Assist System™ (LKAS™)
Detects unintended lane departures and applies subtle steering input to help keep you centered in your lane. Active on marked roads above 45 mph.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow
Maintains a preset following distance behind the vehicle ahead — even in stop-and-go traffic. Automatically adjusts speed from highway cruising down to a complete stop.
Traffic Sign Recognition
Reads speed limit signs and displays the current posted speed limit on the instrument panel — helping you stay aware of changing speed zones during highway driving.
Additional safety features (EX-L and above): Blind Spot Information System, Rear Cross Traffic Monitor.
Honda Sensing features are driver-assistive technologies and do not replace attentive driving. Always maintain awareness of your surroundings.
