Doha Marketing Services Company WLL (DOMASCO) launched the 2019 Honda Pilot this week. The modern family SUV is reaching new heights with the aggressively styled exterior designed to turn heads, matched by an interior that is totally at home in the digital age. The Honda Sensing® technology is now also made available in the Touring edition.

Faisal Greig Honda Domasco Pilot Launch

 

Faisal Sharif, Managing Director DOMASCO said that the third generation Honda Pilot has been well received in Qatar since its launch.

The 2019 Pilot with its rugged and refined look, sophisticated interior advanced technology and features, is sure to set a new standard of comfort and quality to SUV driving. We are sure that this ‘ultimate Family Adventure vehicle’ will perform very well in Qatar.’

Exterior Styling

The updated exterior styling is both rugged and refined and shows the redesigned modern family SUV. The front is designed with a bold front grille, with aggressive chrome accents that feature LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL) standard in all grades.

The redesigned grille features a bold interpretation of the Honda ‘flying wing’ grille design, with its chrome band extending above the headlights. The front bumper now incorporates larger fog light housings, fully integrated into the bumper, giving a more aggressive look.

The rear receives new taillights with amber turn signals and LED reverse lights. A chrome strip on the rocker extends along the side of the vehicle, wrapping around the rear bumper, highlighting the lower bumper’s skid-type design. Wheels are more ruggedly styled, with 18-inch designs on LX, EX and EX-L, and an aggressive new 20-inch design on Touring grade.

Honda Pilot 2019 Interior

Interior Styling

Sophisticated and advanced, the interior of the Pilot is designed for today. Digital instruments are highly functional and easy to use, with an innovative 8-inch Display Audio touch-screen and the latest generation Rear Entertainment System (RES) with 115-volt power outlet and an HDMI Interface.

Thanks to the new Pilot’s ergonomic design, roomy interior and exceptional build quality, you cannot only see the space but feel it too. There’s as much luggage and leg room, and the flexible passenger compartment and third-row seating gives you the freedom to spontaneously change plans, as you wish. The Pilot is also fully updated with the advanced navigation system, USB interface and wireless mobile charger.

Ceiling-mounted 10.2-inch display swings down, allowing for easy viewing with low glare and better second- and third-row viewing. Audio can be played via the speaker system, or through a pair of wireless headphones for silent viewing. With tri-zone automatic climate control, third-row passengers can enjoy separate air conditioning and heated seats for travelling in style and comfort.

Comfort and convenience

A new feature in the all-new Pilot is the Hands-Free Access Power Tailgate, which allows you to load and unload cargo with the remote key fob in their pocket or handbag. The driver simply has to activate the sensor with their foot under a designated area of the rear bumper. The tailgate then opens without the owner needing to use their hands.

The Pilot has the Tri-Zone Automatic Climate Control System, which keeps the passengers comfortable with temperatures that can be controlled independently suiting each need. It also has heated and ventilated seats that help customers stay warm and comfortable during winter and cool throughout summer.

With 109 cubic feet of cargo volume available with the second and third row folded down, the spacious cargo area offers plenty of room for all cargo sizes. The Camera also shows a clear view of any potential obstacles or vehicles whilst reversing. The Wireless Phone Charger in the front console provides a hassle-free charging zone that is easy to access and use. Another great family-friendly feature is the one-touch button on the second row for ingress and egress to the third row, which makes it easy even for children to operate.
