The off-road and all-weather driving capabilities of the Pilot 2021 are assisted by Honda’s intelligent variable torque management system (i-VTM4®) with true torque vectorization. Standard on all AWD models, the i-VTM4® uses an electronically controlled rear differential with hydraulic control to distribute the engine torque between the front and rear axles, and dynamically distribute the torque between the left and right rear wheels. . The advantages are superior handling in all weathers and a neutral and precise steering under power.

The Honda Pilot 2021 is manufactured exclusively at the Lincoln, Alabama auto plant, alongside Odyssey, Passport and Ridgeline, using parts from national and global sources. Its V6 engine is also manufactured in Alabama.
