18 mpg city, 25 highway (front-wheel drive); 17/24 (AWD)
GREEN | 6 out of 10
A cylinder-deactivation system helps the V-6 cut fuel consumption while coasting or cruising, but it seems to be the new six-speed automatic transmission introduced this year that makes the biggest difference—now placing EPA ratings at 17 mpg city, 24 highway with four-wheel drive.
Also, the front-wheel-drive model earns a more impressive highway rating of 25 mpg—making it the most fuel-efficient three-row eight-passenger vehicle, according to Honda.
Conclusion
The 2012 Honda Pilot is one of the more efficient picks if a V-6 and three rows of seating are must-haves; otherwise you can do better with some four-cylinder models.
