Due to their size and features the 2022 Honda Pilot and the 2022 Toyota Highlander are among the top-rated SUVs in the Mid-size SUV segment. Critics rave about their feature-rich lineup and modern infotainment systems. If you’re searching for a new family vehicle both models are worth a look. So we’re comparing their interior design, cargo space, technology, and performance to help you determine which vehicle is right for you and your family. 

Pilot vs Highlander: Power and Performance

Under the hood, the 2022 Pilot and 2022 Highlander are nearly twins. They both boast a 3.5-liter V6 engine which will help navigate these spacious vehicles around Bellevue, NE. And when it comes to fuel economy, they both have average ratings for the midsize SUV segment. Where drivers will feel a difference is in the ride comfort and handling of these SUVs. The Pilot provides drivers with a modestly athletic handling experience, good acceleration, and a suspension system that soaks up road imperfections for a smooth and level ride. Although the Highlander also accelerates well, critics report a stiff steering experience that makes it unengaging to drive. 

Pilot vs Highlander: Interior Space and Comfort

In the first and second rows both the Highlander and the Pilot give adult riders enough room to be comfortable on long drives. The third row of the Pilot has 4.2 more inches of leg space than the Highlander. Unfortunately for the Highlander, that difference is enough to make the rear seat a bit too cramped for most adults.
