2021 Highlander vs. Pilot: Cost and Amenities

Price is a top concern for many drivers around Shawnee. You will likely notice that the Highlander has the higher starting price, but it also comes with the added benefit of more standard features and the all-new Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.5+ (TSS 2.5+) suite. Compare each SUV’s standout features below: 

  • The Highlander– $34,810: Offers 5 USB ports, three-zone climate control, Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.5+ (TSS 2.5+), a Smart Key System, and much more on its base Highlander L trim. 
  • The Honda Pilot – $32,250: Upgrades are required to enjoy similar amenities. 

Keep in mind that we offer a number of new vehicle specials, so the Highlander of your dreams may be much more affordable than you initially thought. 

Highlander vs. Pilot: Performance

Performance is often the next top area of concern when car shopping. Those who opt for the Toyota Highlander will enjoy a more powerful engine and better fuel economy. 

  • Engine: A V6 engine is found on both models, but the engine under the hood of the Highlander is more robust. 
  • MPG Ratings: Fuel economy figures for the Highlander are 21 mpg city/29 mpg highway. The Honda Pilot falls a bit short, earning 19 mpg city/27 mpg highway.

2020 Highlander vs. Pilot: Price and Features

Drivers from Oklahoma City to Edmond love a great deal, and both models have similar price points. While the 2020 Highlander has a sticker price around $3,000 more than the Pilot, but you get more standard features on the Highlander. And when you factor in the higher fuel economy on the Highlander, the Pilot’s slightly lower price point doesn’t seem quite so advantageous. Take a look at the two below:

Highlander vs. Pilot: Performance

Another standout between the Honda Pilot vs. Toyota Highlander is the performance specs. We’ve already mentioned the fantastic Highlander fuel economy, but you might be surprised to hear that the Highlander is also the more powerful of the two. While both utilize a 3.6L V6 engine, the Highlander squeezes out extra horsepower and torque that the Pilot can’t generate. Plus, the Highlander has a smoother transmission system and even a hybrid configuration available. Check it out:
