2021 Toyota Highlander
vs 2021 Honda Pilot in Memphis, TN
The 2021 Toyota Highlander isn't your average SUV. It's beautifully designed, offers performance you can depend on and comes with an abundance of features that create a welcoming environment for every passenger. With enough seating for up to eight people, the Highlander is ready to take the whole crew on a grand adventure and — thanks to Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.5+ — get everyone there safely. Offering impressive towing capability, you can bring even more with you while available Multi-Terrain Select allows you to keep going with confidence, despite changes in road conditions.
One of the fiercest rivals of the 2021 Toyota Highlander comes from the Honda lineup. The 2021 Honda Pilot is ready to defeat the Highlander, but will it be successful? Let's see how these two SUVs compare.

Let's start with the similarities. Both the 2021 Toyota Highlander and 2021 Honda Pilot have the same type of engine and offer the option of AWD. However, the Highlander made it on the list of the IIHS as a 2021 TOP SAFETY PICK+,** an honor the Pilot had to forgo this time. Features that the Pilot missed out on include Amazon Alexa compatibility, the available 10-inch color Head-Up Display and a significantly larger available touchscreen. And when it comes to efficiency, the Highlander offers slightly better mpg than the Pilot.* Want an even more efficient Highlander? Choose the hybrid version. Unfortunately, that won't be an option with the Pilot. If the choice isn't clear enough, we invite you to come meet the Highlander in person.
