2023 Honda Pilot vs. 2023 Toyota 4Runner
2023 Honda Pilot
vs 2023 Toyota 4Runner in Elmhurst, IL
Just pretend the older model you have in your garage doesn’t exist. The all-new 2023 Honda Pilot has the versatility to transform into whatever life throws at you. Need a getaway car for the perfect date? Let the available LED ambient lighting set the tone. What about a megaphone when the kids won’t settle down? The available CabinTalk® In-Car PA System amplifies your voice all the way to the third row so those kiddos can straighten up. And for easy packing and loading during a family camping trip, the available Power Tailgate with Hands-Free Access and Walk Away Close adds a few points to your super-parent tally. You’ll have some serious performance perks with the 3.5-liter V6 engine and 10-speed automatic transmission, especially when paired with the available 2nd-Generation Intelligent Variable Torque Management™ (i-VTM4®) AWD System. And Honda Sensing® wraps the Honda Pilot in proactive safety so all who ride inside are protected with the best technology of the year. From safety to convenience, performance and style, the all-new 2023 Honda Pilot has exceeded expectations.
Thinking that the new 2023 Toyota 4Runner may be a better match? Think again. We've compared these two similar SUVs in the table below.

We may have said "similar" earlier, but that was an overstatement. The all-new 2023 Honda Pilot is the clear winner in this matchup. Both models offer their own branded all-wheel drive system — after all, what self-respecting SUV would only provide front-wheel drive — but that's where the similarities stop. Only the Honda Pilot offers the Eco Assist™ System, a feature that actually teaches drivers how to accelerate, stop and coast with fuel efficiency in mind. You'll be a better driver and your gas tank (and wallet) will thank you later! Do backseat passengers need to access the third row in your Honda Pilot? They'll easily walk between the optional second-row captain's chairs to where they need to settle down; in the Toyota 4Runner, passengers will have to fold down and climb over the second-row bench seat to access the third row. What about technology? In the Honda Pilot, enjoy optional features like Multi-Zone Audio, the CabinTalk® In-Car PA System, a Qi-compatible wireless phone charger and a nine-inch center touchscreen. The Toyota 4Runner only offers an eight-inch center touchscreen, and no other features that are similar to those of the Honda Pilot.
If you want an off-roading champion, sure, the new 2023 Toyota 4Runner might be a good option. But if you want anything else — a practical SUV with enough versatility to go around — then the all-new 2023 Honda Pilot is for you.
