The fourth-generation Pilot made its debut on November 7, 2022.<ref>{{Cite web |title=2023 Honda Pilot First Look: Better-looking, more rugged, more family friendly |url=https://www.autoblog.com/2022/11/07/2023-honda-pilot-first-look/ |access-date=2022-11-07 |website=Autoblog |language=en}}</ref> It went on sale on December 12, 2022.<ref>https://www.piloteers.org/threads/2023-pilot-officially-revealed.178123/page-7</ref> A DOHC (non-VTEC) 3.5-liter J35Y8 V6 engine with {{convert|285|hp|kW PS|0}} and {{cvt|262|lbft|0}} of torque now powers this generation Honda Pilot replacing the previous J35Y6 V6 engine. It is now paired to a Honda ten-speed automatic gearbox which replaces the ZF 9HP automatic gearbox. This generation of Pilot contends directly with Toyota’s 2023 Grand Highlander, becoming bigger in size while keeping the sleek body for reduced drag and weight. At launch, there were six distinct trim levels available: LX, Sport, EX-L, TrailSport, Touring, and Elite. For the 2025 model year, Honda reintroduced the Black Edition (available on the 2020-2022 Pilot) trim level to the Pilot. The Black Edition includes 20-inch black alloy wheels, black trim and emblems, red trimmed interior, red LED ambient lighting, Black Edition on seats, and more. For 2025, the LX trim has been dropped, with the Sport now being the entry-level model. <ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-11-12 |title=2023 Honda Pilot Review, Pricing, and Specs - EV LEGACY |url=https://evlegacy.com/2023-honda-pilot/ |access-date=2022-12-09 |language=English |archive-date=December 7, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221207134040/https://evlegacy.com/2023-honda-pilot/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>
