Technology and Value Comparison
The 2021 Honda Pilot is absolutely brimming with cutting-edge technology in every trim. From features that make your favorite playlists sound incredible to features that help you stay connected on the go, you’ll find everything you need in the Pilot’s infotainment offerings. Plus, the Honda Sensing® suite comes standard in every trim level to ensure that safety on the road is never out of reach. All in all, the Pilot is an incredibly well-rounded SUV, and it comes at an attractive price, too. Though the Highlander doesn’t slack off with its technology features, it’s important to note that you’ll often end up spending more money on the Highlander to get comparable features
Interior Space Comparison
As you’re in the market for a three-row SUV, space is clearly an important aspect of your search for the right SUV. Good news - the 2021 Honda Pilot accommodates passengers and cargo with ease, offering seats for up to eight inside it’s cavernous cabin. All three rows provide spacious measurements to keep everyone comfortable as you drive. The cargo space isn’t too shabby either; you’ll enjoy 16.5 cubic-feet behind the third row and even more than that when the passenger rows are folded - up to 83.9 cubic-feet, in fact.
The 2021 Toyota Highlander offers a competitive amount of cargo space, but it falls quite short in terms of passenger space. The third row of the Highlander is often noted as being cramped and uncomfortable for anyone other than children.
Road Performance
In an SUV as large as either the Pilot or the Highlander, you’ll want to take its road manners into careful consideration, after all, no one wants to feel as though they’re driving a boat around Sapulpa. It’s why the 2021 Pilot is even more attractive when you look at how it handles in comparison to its competition. The Pilot drives smoothly and with confidence thanks to its potent 280-horsepower V6 engine.
The Highlander also runs on a V6 engine, but its driving dynamics are quite rough and bump compared to the Pilot, and you’re likely to find that it doesn’t handle tight corners or turns as well as its competitor.
