There is no Honda Pilot hybrid, but Sacramento families have other Honda hybrids
Every 2026 Pilot runs the same 3.5-liter V6, rated at 285 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque in every trim, from the Sport to the Black Edition. Honda’s published specifications put no hybrid system in the Pilot lineup. For a family that wants a three-row Honda with better fuel economy, the search ends at the Pilot’s own trims and at the hybrids sold beside it.
What does the Honda Pilot offer a Sacramento family?
The Pilot is Honda’s three-row family SUV, and Honda publishes its starting MSRP, seating, cargo space and towing capacity. The lowest-priced Pilot is the Sport (2WD) at $42,395. The AWD Sport starts at $44,495 and tows up to 5,000 lbs, against 3,500 lbs for the 2WD.
Every Pilot seats up to eight. Honda lists 87.0 cubic feet of cargo behind the first row, 48.5 behind the second and 18.6 behind the third, with 111.8 cubic feet at maximum. The third row gives 32.5 inches of legroom, so it suits older children more than adults on long drives.
What Honda hybrids does Capital City Honda sell in Sacramento?
At Capital City Honda, we sell the CR-V Hybrid, Accord Hybrid, Civic Sedan Hybrid and Civic Hybrid Hatchback. Each one is a hybrid, so none needs a plug.
The CR-V is where a family with a three-row need should look first among our hybrids. It is the Honda hybrid with the most room, and it starts at $35,630 in the Sport Hybrid (2WD). The Accord Hybrid starts at $33,795 in the Sport Hybrid trim, and the Civic Sedan Hybrid starts at $29,395 in the Sedan Sport Hybrid. The Civic Hatchback Hybrid starts at $30,595 in the Hatchback Sport Hybrid.
How does the Pilot’s EPA fuel economy compare with Honda’s hybrids?
Honda publishes EPA city, highway and combined ratings for the Pilot and for each hybrid we sell. Set side by side, the ratings show how far the CR-V Hybrid and Accord Hybrid sit from the Pilot on the maker’s own numbers.
The 2026 Pilot AWD returns 19 mpg city, 25 highway and 21 combined.
The CR-V AWD Hybrid returns 40 city, 34 highway and 37 combined, and the FWD CR-V Hybrid returns 43 city, 36 highway and 40 combined.
On the maker’s combined rating, the FWD CR-V Hybrid is rated 19 mpg better than the Pilot AWD. A family that drives mostly in town will notice that gap at the pump. The EPA combined figure weights city driving at 55% and highway driving at 45%.
What does the Honda Odyssey offer a family that needs three rows?
The Odyssey is the other three-row Honda in our lineup, and Honda publishes its seating, cargo and starting MSRP. The Odyssey EX-L starts at $42,795, with 8 seats and 155.8 cubic feet of maximum cargo. Its third row offers 38.1 inches of legroom.
Its towing rating is 3,500 lbs, which matches the 2WD Pilot and sits below the AWD Pilot’s 5,000 lbs. A family that tows a heavier trailer should weigh that difference before choosing.
What warranty comes with a new Honda Pilot or CR-V Hybrid?
Honda publishes the new-vehicle limited warranty for the Pilot and the CR-V Hybrid, including the powertrain term and its conditions. Basic coverage lasts 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first, on both models. Corrosion coverage runs 5 years with no mileage limit.
Those terms are the same for both models. A buyer who compares the two can look at the seating and fuel economy, knowing the coverage is equal.

In an August 2026 5-star Google review, Omar T. wrote: “⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a great experience working with Petrisia Contreras. She was extremely attentive, patient, and helpful throughout the entire process. I honestly wasn’t completely sure what I wanted or even what I was looking for when I came in, but she took her time with me, answered all of my questions, and walked me through different options without ever making me feel rushed or pressured. She made the whole leasing process much easier and helped me understand my options so I could make a decision I felt comfortable with. I really appreciated her patience, professionalism, and the amount of time she spent helping me. If you’re looking for someone who will actually listen to you, answer your questions, and help you find what works best for you, I definitely recommend asking for her!”
That review shows how the leasing process goes at our store, one customer at a time, with someone who answers questions before pushing for a decision. Start with the lease and finance options or the Pilot, then bring your list of trims to 3630 Fulton Ave.
