What the numbers say

A 2021 Honda Pilot still asks 47% of what a 2026 one does — that's how much value it holds after 5 years. Among 87 suvs we price, that ranks #44, right at the class median. The steepest single-year drop comes at year 1 (−30.2%), after which losses ease to about 11.3% a year. Mileage costs it 48%: the same car reads 100k–150k instead of Under 40k miles. Calculated from 1,100 listings.
