Pilot leans adventure-ready with off-road TrailSport, while Palisade dials up luxury with a premium interior. Two different vibes, same big space.
Pilot’s 285 hp V6 vs. Palisade’s 291 hp V6—almost identical. Both tow 5,000 lbs, but which one feels more powerful behind the wheel?
Honda Sensing vs. Hyundai’s SmartSense. Both pack adaptive cruise, lane keeping, and blind-spot tech. Cutting-edge features, but which system wins?
Honda’s flexible seating vs. Hyundai’s luxury lounge. The Pilot offers stow-away seats, while the Palisade brings Genesis-like refinement. Tough choice!
Pilot starts at $41,650, Palisade at $38,575. Hyundai undercuts Honda by $3K—worth it, or does Pilot’s rugged build justify the cost?
Hyundai crushes Honda with a 10-year powertrain warranty vs. Honda’s 5-year coverage. If long-term peace of mind matters, Palisade is hard to beat.
Both SUVs deliver 22 MPG combined, but Pilot edges ahead on the highway. Small win, but every mile counts at the pump.
Need adventure? Pilot. Want premium comfort? Palisade. Both SUVs are top-tier—your lifestyle decides the winner. Which one fits your world?
