If you need more space than a two-row crossover SUV can provide, but you don’t want to bump all the way up to a minivan, a three-row crossover could be the perfect solution for you. Both the 2020 Honda Pilot and the 2020 Toyota Highlander are very popular choices in this segment, and both SUVs offer a lot of features that can make it tough to choose between the two. To make your decision easier, we’ve compared the 2020 Honda Pilot against the 2020 Toyota Highlander to see which ends up on top.
If you’re looking for a three-row crossover, it’s pretty safe to assume that the interior space of this vehicle is an important consideration for you, so you’ll be pleased to know that the 2020 Honda Pilot is ready to accommodate every passenger, grocery bag, soccer ball, and suitcase with ease. There are seats for up to eight in both the Pilot and the Highlander, but the Honda Pilot offers roomier seating for passengers, especially in the third row. Though the Highlander also offers a third row, it’s best left to children with its cramped dimensions.
When you’re shopping for a larger SUV like the Pilot or Highlander, you’ll want to consider how it feels to sit behind the wheel. After all, you won’t want to feel like you’re driving a boat through the streets of Decatur, IL. That’s why the Honda Pilot has another win – it offers the silky, easy driving dynamics of its smaller Honda siblings that provide a smooth, cushioned ride over even bumpy, pockmarked roads. Both SUVs run on V6 engines with automatic transmissions, but the Highlander isn’t tuned as well as the Pilot, so it offers a much stiffer, harsher ride quality.
Both the Honda Pilot and the Toyota Highlander come standard with lots of driver assistance technology to keep you out of harm’s way on Decatur’s roadways. The 2020 Honda Pilot comes with a rearview camera, automatic high-beam headlights, forward collision warning, collision mitigation braking, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, road departure mitigation, and adaptive cruise control. In comparison, the 2020 Toyota Highlander comes standard with pre-collision warning and braking system, cyclist and pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, automatic high-beam headlights, road sign recognition, includes lane departure alert and lane trace assist.
