2023 Honda Pilot vs. 2023 Buick Enclave Comparison in Decatur, IL

There may be no other automotive market as loaded with top-quality vehicles as the mid-size SUV segment, so it pays to be choosy. Often, your choice may come down to the smallest details. We’re pretty confident, though, that the 2023 Honda Pilot and the 2023 Buick Enclave will be at the top of your list. That means it’s really important to find where these vehicles separate themselves from the rest of the pack – and from each other. Let’s take a head-to-head look at the 2023 Pilot and the 2023 Enclave.

Updates For 2023

The Pilot has been entirely redesigned for the 2023 year model and has updated styling to match the newest models in the Honda lineup. It has a more rugged overall appearance with its boxier styling. The interior also received an updated list of entertainment features for most of the trim levels, which adds to the overall driving experience. A new 10-speed transmission replaced the nine-speed transmission and takes the Pilot to a whole new level.

The Enclave only welcomed a new Red Jewel Metallic paint color to the mix. The midsize SUV has no changes in capability, performance, or technology for 2023. When you’re looking for a vehicle that’s got the latest tech and most recent updates in comfort and styling, the Pilot pulls ahead.

Interior

The Pilot has designed its interior with your family in mind. You can comfortably seat up to eight occupants depending on the configuration of its three rows, and you have the option of having second-row captain’s chairs. When properly equipped the second-row middle seat portion can be removed and stored under the floor. The Pilot also offers a great many cubbies and small storage spaces for the bits of cargo that we all find useful. And in the Pilot’s large cargo area, there’s plenty of space for groceries, sports, outdoor equipment, or luggage.

The Enclave, on the other hand, offers a roomy interior with many integrated comfort and convenience features that will appeal to most buyers. However, the cabin materials are less than optimal, and it feels like there’s not a lot of attention to detail in the build quality. Overall, the Buick Enclave interior can’t match the quality and durability of the Pilot.

Infotainment and Technology

The Pilot comes standard with a 7-inch infotainment touchscreen and a 7-inch digital gauge cluster that works flawlessly. Interested in a larger infotainment screen? The Pilot has a 9-inch display available. The touchscreen infotainment system is intuitive and easy to use. Both Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ are standard on the 2023 Pilot, which also enables all of its models with Honda Sensing, an extensive menu of driver-assistance features that feature safety features like automated emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and much more.

The Enclave probably comes closest to the Pilot when it comes to infotainment and technology, with a full slate of features. It feels slightly more aged than the Pilot, largely because of the Pilot’s redesign package. With its updated and all-new features, the Pilot edges slightly ahead.
