Its kinda unfair to say toyota starting price is higher !! Yes its higher but u start with xle trim which gives alot more than hondas starting base trim
HONDA PILOT hands Down! That Bullet Proof 3.5/w10 Speed Trans spells Reliability period if it ain’t broke don’t fix it! That TOYOTA GRAND HIGHLANDER with 4 cylinder & turbo & electric motor equals to Heavier with less Tow Capacity and more Money on the Sticker & FYI you don’t see many Grand Highlander’s used as UBERs it funny how it almost looks like a copy of the 23 PILOT. Like they say Imitation is the Best Form of Flattery😊
Pilot has been Honda least reliable vehicle ahaha it’s there Civic and Accord that are reliable Toyota has been making hybrids forever. 99% of NYC yellow cab taxi fleets uses Toyota hybrids and this was 10-15 years ago when I use to drive taxis in college because they never break down and are run 24/7 Honda Pilot is a joke. Trail sport ground clearance is laughable and seats bolstering paper thin and cheap Plastic every where and that small head display unit is cheap and dumb for such a big vehicle I test drove the Honda Pilot and was it okay. Too much hard plastic for 50k+ and iffy reliability and low gas milage. The platinum hybrid max Grand Highlander for 56k and the limited for 53k is a winner. Although the telluride and palisades has a little better interior than the Toyota. Toyota has just enough luxury features and that 14 inch display, leather seats, pana roof, hybrid max engine for excellent milage and top notch reliability and resale value cannot be touch… Also, the grand Highlander looks like their smaller rav 4. They don’t need to copy Honda… 😅😅😅
Its seems the reason for using a hybrid system is to be able to use a smaller engine thats aided by the power from an electric motor. A V6 hybrid in a toyota seems unlikely to happen !
When we drive on highway only, does the hybrid works or only gas engine works ? I think 2.4 liter turbo or 2.5 non-turbo with 7 people and luggage is small engine for a long trip. How many horse power when driving only on highway? Any advices or explanation. Thanks
test drove the Honda it is slightly under powered next will be the GH i do have to say seat are very comfy and 9 in screen look very small and out of place the CRV and accord has a 12.9
@@michael72012yea Honda pilots own the boxy body style. Move away Land Rover So Honda copied the Kia telluride by your point ? If anything, the grand Highlander is same shape as Rav 4 their smaller offering and that was way out before this *new* Honda Pilot 😅😅😅 with world smallest display unit
53k trail sport vs a 56k Toyota Grand Highlander platinum with 14 inch display, pana roof, hybrid max engine 26-27 mpg vs 17-20, unmatched reliability vs iffy reliability on the Honda Pilot, top notch resale value.
@leeleuciuc6502 I would wait to see how long the new Toyota turbo engine would last ....they switch to small engine with turbo so they can sell their car in every country!! Look at Toyota lines,,,they are almost 80% turbo engine except some Lexus, Sequoia!! if their turbo engine fail, the company would be in big trouble...I think they must have had new tech to ensure turbo engine last as long as regular/v6 engine! Hope!
@@lopapapapa live driving GMC Surb I rented Enterprise, pathetic 12-13mpg vs 35-36mpg Tell me not saving ? For the range of 36 mile I pay $5.00 vs GMC I paid $15 , do I save anything or not? Hmm need to do my math!!
Now we have more people driving them and the grand highlander is more refined and more comfortable
Its kinda unfair to say toyota starting price is higher !! Yes its higher but u start with xle trim which gives alot more than hondas starting base trim
And hybrid option with a little bit extra

I go with the pilot
It definitely looks better !
Hopefully '24, '25 will have 3.0L V6 plugin hybrid and have at least a 40mile electric range strongly competing in the segment.

Yes, Im hopeful for Honda to produce this hybrid since they utilize that engine in the MDX type S.
@@CarsFX Lexus will release a 3.5L plugin hybrid in the near future. They stated this information on the TX reveal.
@@CarsFX Small engine in big car is not efficient at highway speed, and electric motor is not helping much at 75+ mph.

I was hoping the pilot would include a 32 inch infotainment screen. Bummer it’s a 9”
Gas engine model for the GH has 265 HP, not 256.
test drove the Honda it is slightly under powered next will be the GH i do have to say seat are very comfy and 9 in screen look very small and out of place the CRV and accord has a 12.9
Grand highlander is born because Pilot exists
Dumboo😂😂😂 the normal highlander is the best selling mid size suv ever
@@ibrahimbashir6634don’t you notice that Toyota is keep copying Honda vehicles body style?

@@ibrahimbashir6634 probably because all the cab drivers, thats all they drive here in nyc
I will not consider anything other than hybrid and the difference in price between Honda hybrid vs gas is near 10k if it had it that does not.
I disagree about the looks of the grand highlander it rugged and nice looking
Grand highlander looks way better more manly look cleaner inside is better more power
Grand Highlander looks better more luxurious better reliability & Hybrid!

Who would be able to beat 3-row SUV Grand Highlander Hybrid with 36mpg ...None 3-row SUV in market could beat that,,,it is the king of the hill!!
You pay the price not saving anything.

Thanks to our government gas is going up again. Grand Highlander Hybrid wins with 33mpg for AWD or 36MPG for FWD.
This new hybrid MAX system is a game changer for toyota !
That cvt will leave you dead on the side of the road. I was nearly sold until i heard that
The front of the Grand Highlander is just Gross, Honda is a much better looking overall.
Pilot looks like a rental.
Toyota lost me at cvt
Then get the gas model
