With the Toyota Highlander hybrid model, you can expect to enjoy up to an EPA-estimated 36 city/35 highway MPG.* The standard gas engine offers an EPA-estimated 20 city/27 highway MPG with all-wheel drive.* Honda Pilot all-wheel-drive trims, on the other hand, offer a slightly less efficient EPA-estimated 19 city/26 highway MPG.

Though both SUVs offer the same impressive towing capacity, only the 2022 Toyota Highlander comes standard with Trailer-Sway Control to keep you in control in difficult conditions like high winds on the highway. In comparison, the 2022 Honda Pilot does not offer a similar feature to Trailer-Sway Control.

Toyota Highlander vs Honda Pilot: Performance

Toyota Highlander Engine Specs

To help you adapt to changing road and weather conditions, both models offer various driver modes. In the 2022 Toyota Highlander, you’ll find a standard Snow Mode and Drive Mode Select which features:

  • Eco Mode
  • Normal Mode
  • Sport Mode

Looking for even more? Upgrade with the optional Multi-Terrain Select that adds Mud/Sand and Rock/Dirt. Over in the 2022 Honda Pilot, you only have the option to upgrade to a more limited 4-drive-mode system.

Safety and Technology Comparisons

Toyota Highlander Technology

Once inside the cabin of either SUV, you’ll be surrounded by high-tech features to keep you connected as you travel. In either model, you’ll find standard Android Auto and Apple CarPlay® integration that lets you answer calls, change the song, and pull up certain apps through the display screen.

Are you all about filling the cabin with your favorite tunes or rolling down the windows, blasting the volume, and singing along to your heart’s content? The 2022 Toyota Highlander makes it possible for you to do this in style thanks to its available 11 full-bodied speakers. Unfortunately, the 2022 Honda Pilot falls short with 10 available speakers.

The 2022 Honda Pilot features a standard 8-inch touchscreen. In the 2022 Toyota Highlander, you’ll also find a standard 8-inch touchscreen. However, this is where the similarities end. That’s because the Highlander gives you the option to upgrade to an expansive 12.3-inch touchscreen display with larger, easier-to-read icons. As a result, the Toyota Highlander makes it easier to adjust the controls in front of you while still being able to keep track of everything going on around you on the roadway.

Another useful feature offered by the Toyota Highlander is the optional 10-inch color Head-Up Display with speedometer and Road Sign Assist. It projects key trip information, like your current speed and posted road signs, directly onto the windshield within the driver’s line of vision. Unfortunately, the Honda Pilot does not offer a comparable option.

When it comes to safety, the Highlander has you covered with features like Lane Tracing Assist. This standard piece of equipment employs a variety of cameras and sensors to monitor the SUV’s position on the road and stay centered within the lane. Lane Tracing Assist is not a feature you’ll get from the 2022 Pilot.

2022 Toyota Highlander vs Honda Pilot: Comfort Comparison

Both accommodating SUVs provide their occupants with plenty of space inside their cabins. First, let’s take a look at the measurements you’ll find inside the Highlander.

  • First-row headroom: 41.2 inches
  • Second-row legroom: 41 inches
  • Third-row hip room: 45.6 inches

Now, here are the dimensions for the same areas inside the 2022 Honda Pilot.

  • First-row headroom: 40.1 inches
  • Second-row legroom: 38.4 inches
  • Third-row hip room: 44.6 inches

While both models feature three spacious rows and have the potential to provide you and your passengers plenty of space, the numbers above make it clear the Highlander offers more room. This extra room will come in handy the next time you’re taking your friends to a concert featuring your favorite group, chauffeuring your kids and their besties to the movies, or showing visiting relatives the various sights around town.
