The Toyota Highlander comes standard with a 3.5L V6 engine that delivers up to 295 horsepower and 263 lb-ft of torque, so you’ll be able to tackle busy traffic with ease. In comparison, the Honda Pilot has a standard 3.5L V6 engine that delivers 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, so you won’t have as much power when you hit the road.

With its standard engine, the Toyota Highlander can achieve an EPA-estimated 21 city/29 highway MPG, making it an ideal SUV for commutes and road trips.1 The Honda Pilot, on the other hand, has an EPA-estimated 20 city/27 highway MPG, so you may have to stop and refuel during long journeys.

For an even more fuel-efficient driving experience, the Toyota Highlander offers an available 2.5L hybrid engine that can achieve an EPA-estimated 36 city/35 highway MPG.1 Unfortunately, the Honda Pilot does not have a hybrid powertrain.

Depending on where you’re seated in the cabin of either of these SUVs, you’ll be treated to the following legroom:

• The Toyota Highlander has 42 inches of front legroom and 41 inches of second-row legroom.
• The Honda Pilot offers 40.9 inches of legroom in the front and 38.4 inches of legroom in the second row.

While these SUVs offer ample legroom for all their passengers, the Toyota Highlander offers more space for people in the front and second rows, so everyone will be able to stretch out during long drives.

Additionally, these two vehicles offer plenty of room for your cargo. The Toyota Highlander has a maximum cargo volume of 84.3 cubic feet, so you can easily transport suitcases and other large items. In comparison, the Honda Pilot has a maximum cargo volume of 83.9 cubic feet, so you may need to leave a few items at home.

Each of these SUVs comes standard with an array of active safety technologies, including:

• Lane Departure Alert
• Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
• Automatic High Beams

These features assist the driver on the road and can help you stay safe whenever you get behind the wheel.

Additionally, the 2022 Toyota Highlander comes standard with Road Sign Assist. This impressive feature scans road signs and displays key information on the dashboard, so you can focus on the road ahead. Unfortunately, the 2022 Honda Pilot does not offer this technology as a standard feature.
