2011 Honda Pilot

The 2011 Honda Pilot’s VTEC engine enhances the SUV’s broad torque characteristics and reduces exhaust emissions. It’s VTEC valve train adjusts the timing and duration and lift of the intake valves according to engine speed. The new Pilot’s VTM 4 electronic control unit constantly monitors speed and road conditions. The engine’s induction intake and exhaust systems have been optimized to deliver optimum airflow at all speeds. When cruising or braking and The 2011 Honda Pilot operates in front wheel drive only for maximum fuel efficiency. The VTM 4 ECU detects wheel spin before it happens. The ECU then calculates the best power split between the front and rear axles and engages four wheel drive.

The 2011 Honda Pilot LX EX engine burns so lean that the it is rated as an Ultra Low Emission Vehicle in states with CA emissions standards and as a Low Emission Vehicle under federal state standards. It’s PCM’s instantly calculates the engine fuel requirements and activates each fuel injector at precisely the right moment.

This car VTEC offers 2 distinct modes for the intake valves for improved response throughout the rpm’s wide range and Pilot’s power availability. The 2011 2011 Honda Pilot’s transmission uses the engine’s broad torque curve for acceleration, optimal fuel economy and smooth shifting characteristics. 

To transmit four wheel drive powers, many other SUV’s use a bulky transfer case that adds weight complexity and added gear noise, while decreasing fuel economy and vehicle balance. The LX and the EX have a VTM 4 Variable Torque Management system takes a different, more sophisticated approach. First, there is no transfer case. This immediately results in less weight, complexity, noise and fuel usage. A 5-speed automatic transmission features Grade Logic Control.

This model is equipped with 16″ wheels. Styled steel wheels are standard on the Pilot LX. Alloy wheels are standard on The new 2011 2011 Honda Pilot EX models.

The system in The 2011 Honda Pilot utilizes sensors in the front passenger seatback to detect the height and seating position of the occupant. If a child, or adult is leaning into the path of the side air bag sensors deactivate it. The front and rear crush zones provide driver and passenger protection in moderate to severe full frontal and offset-frontal impacts. The side impact door beams help provide protection in a side impact, all seats are equipped with three point seat belts. The second row seats feature the LATCH which is also known as the Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children mounting system for use with compatible child seats.
