The first thing you will notice that differentiates the two is the style of the vehicle. The Honda Pilot is an SUV, which comes with a more rugged, bold, and adventurous design. It sits on the frame for a great view and ride height as you travel. It also has some unique color options, including Deep Scarlet Pearl.
The Honda Odyssey is a minivan with a modern look. With its power sliding doors, the kids can get in and out of the Odyssey with ease. It also has a few distinct color options, like its Pacific Pewter Metallic and Radiant Red Metallic II.
Both models come with a spacious cabin that offers three rows of seating. This allows you to comfortably fit up to eight total occupants in each vehicle. Starting with the Honda Pilot, there is a total of 152.9 cubic feet of passenger volume.
Along with that, there is also anywhere from 18.5 cubic feet to 109 cubic feet of cargo volume in the Pilot with the various ways you can reconfigure the seating. Looking inside the Odyssey, you will find even more space within this minivan.
Its cabin has 163.6 cubic feet of passenger volume, which is what makes it ideal for those with teenagers in the family since there is some added room in the second- and third-row seats. Plus, it has up to 158 cubic feet of cargo volume, so longer and bulkier items can fit in the Honda Odyssey as well.
The Honda Odyssey is a mighty powerful minivan that comes with a 3.5L V6 engine and a 10-speed automatic transmission. This combination gives it the power and smooth acceleration needed to get up inclines and reach highway speeds even with a fully loaded cabin. It also comes with Snow mode, which can enhance traction so you can safely navigate the roads in the winter when doing morning school drop-off.
The Pilot, on the other hand, is set for those who like to go on all sorts of adventures. With its off-road capabilities, it is set for summer road trips to the national park or time spent out in the wilderness of Maine. Plus, it can tow up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped, so you can bring the boat out on the water and go fishing or tubing with the kids!
As you can see, while both are suitable as family vehicles, they each offer their own unique benefits. The choice between the Honda Odyssey vs. Pilot ultimately comes down to the travels you’ll be doing around Portland, Saco, and Scarborough, ME.
