Honda produces some of the highest-rated SUVs on the market. The three-row Honda Pilot is the ultimate family vehicle. Its spacious seating accommodations and impressive list of advanced safety technologies promise to leave you satisfied. A powerful standard engine makes the Pilot even more satisfying to drive. The CR-V is the smaller model out of the two, but it certainly isn’t overshadowed by the Pilot by any means. Let’s take a look at how the 2018 Honda Pilot compares to the 2018 Honda CR-V.

Performance

You can expect both of these SUVs to deliver an enjoyable driving experience. The Pilot’s 3.5-liter, i-VTEC V6 engine produces a muscular 280 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. Great low-end torque enables the AWD Pilot to effortlessly tow up to 5,000 pounds. This is a key benefit for the drivers who need to pull boats and campers. With the ability to return up to 27 mpg, the Pilot also ranks among the most efficient three-row crossovers in its class. However, the Honda CR-V delivers even more fuel savings. Models equipped with the base four-cylinder engine can deliver up to 32 mpg. Meanwhile, the available turbocharged engine increases the CR-V’s fuel economy to 34 mpg on the highway.

Interior

Honda takes great pride in producing vehicles that provide a high level of passenger comfort. Designed to accommodate up to eight people, the Honda Pilot is an ideal choice for large families. A generous cargo area adds to the Pilot’s versatility. When fitted with the optional rear-seat entertainment system, the Pilot delivers even more excitement on out-of-town road trips. Although the five-passenger CR-V is more compact than the Pilot, don’t underestimate its ability to comfortably transport families. It’s among the most spacious small crossovers on the market. Convenient rear USB ports enable your family members to keep their electronic devices fully juiced throughout the day.

Features

For both models, a standard backup camera helps guide you out of tight parking areas. You can also take advantage of the available Honda Sensing safety package. It comes with a number of advanced driving aids. When a potential crash is detected, the collision-mitigation system will immediately activate your brakes. Some of the other safety innovations include lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, and adaptive cruise control.


While the Honda Pilot is larger and more suitable for towing a hefty load, the Honda CR-V’s fuel savings and smaller size will appeal to some drivers. To see which one of these crossover SUVs is best for your family, contact your local Honda dealer to request a test drive.
