WHEN WILL THE NEW honda pilot, 3 row hybrid suv come out

Honda hasn’t officially given a release date for a new Honda Pilot hybrid yet, but the strongest current reporting points to a late-2028 or 2029 arrival.

What’s known

• The current 2026 Honda Pilot is already out, and it still does not include a hybrid powertrain.

• Honda has indicated its next-generation large-size hybrid system is coming in the second half of the 2020s and before 2030.

• Based on that timeline, the Pilot Hybrid is widely expected to land around 2028–2029 rather than immediately.

Practical read

• If you’re waiting for a 3-row Honda hybrid SUV , the Pilot is the most likely candidate, but not soon enough for a near-term purchase.

• If you need one now, the current Pilot is still gas-only, so shoppers usually look at rivals like the Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid in the meantime.

Bottom line

For now, the best answer is: expect the new Honda Pilot hybrid in about 2028 or 2029, not in 2026 or 2027.
