Inside the Pilot cabin, Honda has some design elements of its previous generation. combined with today's modern elements. The vents of the ventilation system of this new SUV are designed in an old fashioned way, and this design style has many differences with the mesh-like ventilation vents designed for the new Civic, HR-V and CR-V.
