In many ways, the Toyota Highlander and Honda Pilot are very similar. They offer similar starting prices and similar feature options. The Highlander's safety suite might be a bit better than the Pilot's, but the Honda Pilot still delivers a solid selection of active safety systems. Where the Highlander really differentiates itself is with its seating capacity and engine options. The Highlander offers eight seats where the Honda Pilot only has seven. The Highlander also delivers a far wider range of engines, including a hybrid option. In our opinion, it's the better buy.
