Highlander vs. Pilot: Pricing and Features

If you’re like most Watsonville car shoppers, you’re probably concerned about the price of your car. The Toyota Highlander comes in at a higher starting price than the Honda Pilot, but comparing Toyota Highlander vs. Honda Pilot on price alone isn’t the full story. With the Highlander, you have all-new Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.5+ (TSS 2.5+) standard on every trim, not to mention more horsepower and better base fuel economy.

The Highlander gives you five USB ports, three-zone climate control, and Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.5+ (TSS 2.5+) standard on every trim level. Honda Sensing, on the other hand, does not provide the level of security that Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.5+ (TSS 2.5+) does, and when it comes to standard features, you’ll need to upgrade to a higher trim for a lot of what comes standard on the Highlander.

Highlander vs. Pilot: Performance

Toyota Highlander vs. Honda Pilot comparisons would be incomplete without a comparison of performance. People buy SUVs in Santa Clara for the superior power and while you’re getting a plenty powerful vehicle out of the Honda Pilot, the Toyota Highlander simply gives you more.

• Both vehicles have a 3.6L V6 engine, but the Highlander offers superior performance and fuel economy.
• The Highlander offers you 295 hp with an 8-speed automatic transmission, allowing you to smoothly get from Point A to Point B.
• The Toyota Highlander offers an EPA-estimated 21 mpg city/29 mpg highway compared to 19/27 on the Pilot. Also, you can pick a hybrid Highlander with an EPA-estimated 36 mpg city/35 mpg highway.
