2021 Honda Pilot vs. 2021 Toyota Highlander
2021 Honda Pilot
vs 2021 Toyota Highlander in Elmhurst, IL
No matter your lifestyle — if you have a big family or even bigger hobbies — the 2021 Honda Pilot will deliver in performance, comfort, tech and safety. Styled with function in mind, the Pilot streamlines efficiency with built-in, available convenience features like a hands-free power liftgate, second-row sunshade, Apple CarPlay® and more. Generous cargo and leg room ensure everyone who’s lucky enough to come along for the drive can bring carry-ons and still stretch out, while front-seat passengers will enjoy optional heated and ventilated functions, when needed. Plus, peace of mind is never too far with the standard proactive safety system, Honda Sensing®, as a second pair of eyes. But, of course, with the Toyota Highlander turning heads with rivaling features, you might be less convinced about the Honda Pilot. Perhaps the graph below will change your mind.

In the typical rivalry between the two brands, it looks like for this year, the must-have SUV is the 2021 Honda Pilot (unless you like a higher MSRP, manual second-row seats, single-zone audio and a rear entertainment system that you’d have to purchase indirectly through the dealership or Ebay). The Pilot and the Highlander share similar performance metrics (like a standard 3.5-liter V6 engine) and convenience features (like the branded available in-car PA systems), but when it comes to technology, the Pilot has the Highlander beat. Standard on the Touring and Elite trims, Multi-Zone Audio allows front and back-seat passengers to listen to different media at the same time. Just choose where you’d like the speakers to play (front, back or full vehicle) and everyone’s happy! Plus, with available one-touch second-row seats, all it takes is the press of a button to gain access to the third row.
