Both Honda and Toyota are known for producing safe, reliable vehicles, but how do they stack up on the other features? Let’s take a look.

Honda Pilot vs. Toyota Highlander: Getting More For Less

Convenient Tech Features

Nothing ruins a family trip like a long ride with nothing to do. Luckily, with the new Honda Pilot, you won’t have to worry about that.

The 2019 Pilot offers a whole host of available tech and entertainment features, including one in particular your kids will love: the Advanced Rear Entertainment System with 10.2-inch High-Resolution WSVGA (1024×600) Screen, Blu-Ray™ Player* and Built-In Streaming Apps.

The Highlander’s entertainment system only features a 9-inch screen and no built-in streaming apps.

Power and Efficiency

Who says you have to choose between horsepower and fuel efficiency? The Honda Pilot’s standard 3.5L V6 engine not only offers up to 280 horsepower and 262 lb.-ft. of torque, but also 27 highway mpg.

Comparatively, the Toyota Highlander’s standard 2.7L 4-cylinder engine offers 185 horsepower and 184 lb.-ft. of torque — and only 24 highway mpg.

Style

Gone are the days of the tired, outdated family vehicle designs. Now you can enjoy an elegant aesthetic and style in addition to family-friendly features.

While the Highlander has a rounded frame that harkens back to the minivan, the Pilot boasts a smoother, sleeker silhouette. And with a variety of glossy and metallic colors to choose from, you have plenty of opportunity to show off your style.

Value

Even with all of these features, the new Honda Pilot has a lower MSRP than the Toyota Highlander. Get more with less when you choose Honda.
