2020 Honda Pilot vs 2020 Pathfinder
2020 Pilot vs. 2020 Pathfinder for Butler, PA Drivers
Many manufacturers produce three-row crossover SUVs, making the research phase of finding the right family SUV tedious at best. That’s where we step in to help. If you’re searching for a three-row crossover SUV, let us help you decide between a couple of popular competitors – the 2020 Honda Pilot and the 2020 Nissan Pathfinder – to see which is best for your family.
Performance Comparison
The 2020 Honda Pilot runs on a 3.5-liter V6 that generates 280 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque and a six-speed automatic engine. In comparison, the 2020 Nissan Rogue runs on a 3.5-liter V6 with 284 horsepower and 259 pound-feet of torque. Though the Rogue has a few more ponies and a few less pound-feet of torque, what really sets the Pathfinder back is its continuously variable transmission (CVT). While the Honda Pilot shifts gears and accelerates smoothly, the Pathfinder’s outdated CVT drones on, making the driving experience significantly less pleasant.
Interior Comparison
While the 2020 Honda Pilot sports a modern interior design that is fitting for the model year and technology inside, the 2020 Nissan Pathfinder has not had an interior refresh in quite a while, and the design feels outdated in today’s automotive world. In addition, the Pilot has more cargo space than the Pathfinder. When the rear seats are up, you’ll have 16.5 cubic-feet in the Pilot and only 16.2 cubic-feet in the Pathfinder. More than that, when all seats are folded down, the Pilot offers 83.9 cubic-feet while the Pathfinder only has 79.8 cubic-feet. When you want a modern, spacious three-row SUV, the Pilot is the clear choice.
Safety Features
Both the Honda Pilot and the Nissan Pathfinder come standard with several driver assistance features to bolster your confidence on the road. The 2020 Pilot comes with automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, lane-departure assist, and adaptive cruise control. In comparison, the 2020 Nissan Pathfinder comes with automatic emergency braking with rear-cross traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, and blind-spot monitoring. Both SUVs offer additional safety features including a surround-view rearview camera.
