Honda launches all-new 2009 Pilot
MUSCAT The all-new Honda 2009 Pilot will set a new standard for the mid-size SUV segment with its unique blend of crossover refinement, fuel efficiency and eight passenger-family, SUV functionality, said a press release.

A modern, stylish spacious interior further enhances on – road refinement and increasing interior functionality which ensures comfortable ride for eight adults. According to the release, Pilot’s ultimate strength is a comfortable experience for all passengers. The Grand Comfort Cruiser boasts one of the roomiest interiors in the segment. The family-orientated interior focuses on clever packaging and optimal use of space.

The first row provides a commanding view of the road from two wide and comfortable captain’s chairs.

A wide centre stack and centre console form the styling anchor for the interior with a design that emphasises spaciousness and power.

The 60/40 split second row, slides further forward for increased ease of access to the third row.

Similarly 60 /40 split third row provides enough knee room to fit an above-average-sized adult comfortably, meaning the third row isn’t just for show and is among the most practical in the marketplace, the release said.

The second and third rows are slightly raised above the level of the front seats to ensure excellent visibility for all passengers.

They also collapse in one simple motion – headrests can remain in place – to open up one of the largest load spaces in its class. The flat floor extends all the way to the front seats, and is flush with the rear sill for easier loading.

The large sunroof on the EX-L models adds a sense of airiness.

To maximise comfort, tri-zone air conditioning, with individual settings for driver, front passenger and rear seat passengers, is standard, allowing occupants to tailor temperature to their own personal comfort levels. Outlets are provided in the third seat row to ensure grand comfort for all passengers.

Larger than MR-V, in all key dimensions, the overall length increased by 135 mm to 4910 and, wheelbase increased by 75mm to 2775, while width has increased from 1963 to 2005 mm (Dimensions are of EX-L).
