The 2025 Honda Pilot has been a mainstay midsize SUV for generations. Get to know the six impressive trims of this exceptional three-row model at Columbia Honda in Columbia, MO.
1. Sport
The Sport model features a 285-horsepower V6 engine, a 10-speed automatic transmission, and your choice of front-wheel or all-wheel drive. You can tow 3,500 pounds with the former and up to 5,000 pounds with the latter. This SUV has standard Normal, Snow, Tow, ECON, and Sport modes. The base powertrain gets up to 22 combined city and highway miles per gallon.

4 Advanced Safety Features in the 2025 Honda Lineup
Honda Sensing is an advanced suite of intelligent driver assistance and safety systems that protect you on the road. They utilize advanced technology to identify potential collision risks and warn you or actively intervene to prevent accidents. As your Honda dealership, we want to tell you more about some of these safety features.
Active Cruise Control (ACC)
Cruise control has been around for a long time, but Honda Sensing takes it to the next level. The original cruise control was useful when driving long distances, as you could program a specific speed, and your Honda would maintain it until you intervened. This helped to reduce muscle strain by allowing you to take your hands off the wheel.
ACC allows you to set a following distance from a vehicle in front of you. It uses radar to identify the vehicle and can automatically decrease your speed should the other driver slow down or hit the brakes unexpectedly. It will also accelerate if needed to maintain the preset distance. The system deactivates when your speed drops below 22 mph, and it will warn you so you can apply the brakes and stop your Honda.
Fans of the practical Honda Accord will appreciate the eco-friendly nature of the 2025 Honda Accord Hybrid. This model builds on all the terrific standard features that come with the original mid-size sedan and adds a spirited hybrid powertrain designed to minimize carbon emissions.

The best way to get the full Honda experience is with a new model. But if that is not in the cards, the certified pre-owned(CPO) selection at your Honda dealership in Columbia, MO is a solid option. Let’s explain why we think certified pre-owned benefits are hard to pass up.
1. Only the Best Make the Cut
A vehicle has to meet certain requirements to get into Honda’s certified pre-owned program. As of 2025, they are taking vehicles from 2020 and newer, which means you’re looking at cars that are up to 5 years old. Given Honda’s build quality, these vehicles still have plenty of life ahead of them and all the modern features you could want.
Mileage and service history also play a big role. Right now, the requirement is that the vehicle must have been on the road for at least 12 months or driven 12,000 miles since it was first sold or leased, with no more than 80,000 miles at the time of delivery to the customer.
Minivans are built for practicality, but who says they can’t be fun too? The 2025 Honda Odyssey handles all the usual tasks, i.e., hauling kids, groceries, and cargo, but with a little excitement behind the wheel. If you’re going to spend years shuttling your crew around, why not enjoy the drive, too?
What’s New?
The current generation of the Odyssey has been rolling around 2018 with only a few tweaks along the way, so for 2025, Honda decided it was time for some updates. The most noticeable change is the new face, featuring a new grille, reshaped fascias, and larger fog light surrounds. Honda says the new rear bumper is dressed up with the same vertical reflectors used on the Acura NSX supercar. Not something you’d expect from a minivan, but here we are.
The interior got its share of improvements, too, especially in the tech department. Gone is the traditional gauge cluster, replaced by a seven-inch digital display. A nine-inch infotainment display is standard on every Odyssey. This screen features a faster processor for lag-free operation. Rear passengers are also in for a treat with a revamped entertainment system, now sporting a 12.8-inch screen, up from the previous 10.2 inches.
Pickup trucks are valued for their versatility, but often make sacrifices when it comes to efficiency and handling. The mid-size 2025 Honda Ridgeline bucks that trend with its advanced powertrain and genuinely nimble chassis. Read on to learn more about its compelling features!
Refined V6 Powertrain
A naturally aspirated 3.5L V6 motivates every Ridgeline with its output of 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. Along with an adept 9-speed automatic transmission, the powertrain features Honda’s Variable Cylinder Management and Eco Assist technologies, which aid in achieving a fuel economy of up to 24 MPG highway.
