- Which drives best? I drove the brand new 2023 Honda Pilot and the 2023 Kia Telluride. How do they compare when it comes to driving? I've been trying to purchase a new Telluride but after driving the new 2023 Pilot, did that change my mind on which one to buy?
All 2023 Pilots except for the Sport have acoustic glass windshields. Only the Touring and Elite have acoustic glass in the driver and passenger doors.
Kia has one of the best fit and finish in the business, i had them for 20 years, still have my 2010 Kia Borrego with 350,000 km on it, still drives like a champ, rock solid reliable.
Kia reliability has vastly improved over the years, but still have a number of recalls on various models.
Dude. 50k for a kia/Hyundai I rather get the honda. Kia/Hyundai are on recall for getting fire 🔥
@@RedmanLS3 I wish you would start your own thread. Whenever someone has a positive experience with their cars, there is always someone like you to interject a comment like yours. Its getting a bit tiring.
@Floyd lmfao dude got triggered for no reason. It's proven by many years that honda is better then kia boys. I work as a tech for GM and Hyundai and I know all about them. Those kia/Hyundai values will drop hard asf after 3 years of ownership and all those recalled lmfao 🤣 😂 😆 💀 don't even compare them to Hondas and Toyota
I watched this video, then test drove both. I bought the Telluride b/c it blew the pilot out of the water.
They both have their strengths and weaknesses, whatever you go with is probably a good choice.
Agree just look at interior in Telluride SX it's 10x better
Great review, we just bought the Pilot EX L and love it. It felt roomier than a lot of the competition. I am really liking the engine and transmission.
I agree
it's a gas guzzler though 😢
Lots of info well done Drew we ordered a Pilot just waiting for it to arrive
Thanks! Congrats!
Ex-L does not come with laminated glass on the sides. Just the windshield.
I found the same things as you noted. Even thought they are not sports cars, the Telluride isn’t as composed as the Pilot especiall. My wife loves the Telluride and it appeals to her eyes but she said the Pilot though simple, less flashy was better quality.
Should be taking delivery of the Pilot this week.
Great review.
Great comparison👍 which trim level did you choose in the pilot?
Amazing. Drew, I took more from you sitting in front of the camera than every other video covering every angle from the car. Your verbiage is on point. I can tell you dabble in cars. Much appreciated
Thanks for the kind words.
The lack of wireless CarPlay is just ridiculous. In my opinion. That by itself is one of the main reasons. I am also going with a pilot. Great review, great video, appreciate it.
Ordered a Telluride top trim-IMO rivals a luxury car, the Pilot not so much. Cannot do the mini screen jammed into the dash or the push button selector in the Pilot. There are pros and cons to both. To each his own.
Loved this comparison. Thank you.
Thanks Drew! Great comparison. Seems like you value the same attributes as an enthusiast as I do. I had initially considered a Telluride, but we ended up ordering a new Trailsport, so I am glad the Pilot comes out on top in your evaluation.
Thanks, I appreciate that. And congrats - hope you get it soon and love it!
I respect your decision, and your analysis on the two…my wife and I went with Telluride we got the SX Prestige X-Pro, I didn’t even realize the pilot got facelift in 2023, my wife and I steered away from Honda because of the price…but after doing some research this morning surprisingly both top trims are about the same price…we were looking for a van but every time we saw one it was out of our price range….here in southern Cali Hondas tend to be about 10 to 15k more than other companies…MSRP For a top trim pilot was about 53k same for the telluride…we got a Telluride..had for about 3 weeks now, we enjoy it hopefully it remains reliable but only time will tell…the warranty is 10yr/100k and we got the expanded one for bumper to bumper to include electronics 10yr/100k too, Kia-Hyundai/Honda/Toyota vehicles are the best bang for the buck…it comes down to preference and how well you maintain your vehicles….Enjoy your pilot🙂
Honda missed the boat on not having a digital option that you can switch to on rear view mirror if view is blocked…
Excellent comparison, Drew. I have my choices narrowed down to the Pilot and Telluride as well. I'm glad you pointed out the matte screen on the Honda. That's my preference, too. I'm hoping maybe the Elite trim will cut down on wind noise since it definitely has front row acoustic glass. I know the light steering you're referring to in the Honda. Reminds me of the 87 Accord. One comparison I'll make between the two since the Elite has a panoramic roof is that I prefer that roof vs. the split design in the Telluride. I've also noticed in pics and videos of the Pilot that it does seem higher quality, a more solid looking feel. One thing I do like about the Telluride, however, is the choice of exterior and interior colors. Honda sticks too much to the drab exterior colors for the Pilot. They should offer some of the new CRV colors. Oh, and one last thing, Honda, you should have matched the Kia's hood struts. The prop rod seems a little cheap in comparison.
Thanks! Great points - completely agree about the colors and hood struts. I did read that the Pilot has an aluminum hood, so at least it shouldn't be overly heavy to lift. I've never had a pano sunroof on any vehicle I've owned, so looking forward to that. It comes standard on the Touring as well as the Elite, as does the acoustic laminated front door glass. Hoping that takes a little wind noise away too.
Thanks for your video. Appreciate it!
Both are great, one has one thing over the other. But, down the road the ‘slightly’ better build quality and incredible warranty pushed me to choose the Telluride over the Honda.
This is the correct answer
Great comparison, Drew. Thanks for doing that. I also narrowed my choice to these two vehicles. I will say I'm a Honda guy and have had a 2004 EX-L and a 2016 Elite. I did order the 2023 Pilot Elite and it will arrive in about two months although I have not had a chance to drive one yet. Thanks for the info on the braking and steering as well. I did like the infotainment system on the Kia better but never even thought about the distance to the screen or the lower level. That's a good catch. I do like the ability to have wireless CarPlay because I usually keep an iPod connected for playing music and I want to use my phone for CarPlay navigation. I hope I can do that. I didn't like the traditional sunroof on the Kia and am looking forward to the panoramic roof on the Honda. As far as the sound deadening glass on the Pilot that is only available on the Touring and Elite models. I think both of these are great vehicles so the choice is going to come down to personal preference. One thing I noticed was that my Kia dealer seemed to be adding additional dollars over the MSRP where my Honda dealer is not doing that. Also the Kia was generally not available as soon as the Pilot with a several month waiting period. The Pilot color choices do suck, though. Thanks, again. Great job!
At my dealers Honda was adding $3K and Kia was selling at MSRP, but the wait for a Telluride was 9-14 months. Honda was not taking orders. You put money down to be put on a waiting list to grab whatever Honda allocates them. Turned me off both brands.
Excellent review and comparison. Very helpful as I consider my vehicle purchase. Thank you very much for your efforts!
I choose Honda
I’m getting my Pilot tomorrow
I actually agree and disagree on some points. On one hand from all the reviews done on the midsize SUV category the reviewers thought the steering feel was well weighted. I point this out because yes a lighter steering feeling may be good for a parking lot but not on a long highway road trip where you always have to correct you steering or it may feel more twitchy at speed. I'm looking to test drive the 23 Pilot but I did not observe any difficulty seeing the dash on the telluride with my 2 test drives both sx models (about 1 hr long each). Also the HUD helps with that. I do not believe the pilot has that on any class. What I like about the pilot is the second row removeable seat. That for me is a real value adder. The KIA interior is way classier looking and does look like a better finish to me. I cant understand tho why KIA cant have wireless car play? Serious adder for the Pilot I think. Like you mentioned about the driving assists, I was able to keep my hands off for about 45-50secs on the telluride. This for me is big in terms of getting something from the glove box, handing the kids a snack or just being able to eat a burger. All in all, thank you for the review, looking forward to driving the pilot. Cant wait to see reviews done with both suvs side by side!
You can get an after-market adapter which plugs into USB to add wireless carplay/android auto. Some of these can also do things like allow you to launch additional apps not offered standard (such as Netflix or other media apps). Obviously would be nicer if they had wireless built in, but not a deal breaker because of the add-on option.
I had pilots since 2005 I worked for Honda for 26 years. Now for 1 1/2 years working for Kia no comparison between Honda and Kia. Lots of engine problems in Kia and if not the worse but one of the worse customer satisfaction from factory to dealer. This will sink kia.
Got my Sonic gray pearl elite on order !
good info, well presented
Thanks!
Thanks, Drew. Very helpful as I am having to choose between these 2 as well. I was hoping you would’ve touched on cargo capacity behind the 3rd row. Any noticeable difference?
I didn't do any measuring, but from messing around with it a bit in both vehicles, the Honda seems to have more space behind the 3rd row. It's actually pretty surprising in how much it'll hold back there with the 3rd row in use.
Great comparison of the 2, thank you.
Overall, which vehicle is reliable?
Did the Pilot's transmission behave well? I have a 2019 Highlander that hates to downshift without heavy input and it drives me nuts. I've driven the Telluride and was really impressed with its smooth transmission. I'm discouraged to hear about the light steering feel on the Pilot. That being said, I put a deposit down on a Touring trim last week.
The transmission is very smooth in both of them for sure. I didn't notice or specifically test how eager the Pilot was to downshift with minimal throttle, but I can say I never felt like it was not able to pass at highway speeds. I didn't try the different drive modes either; I'd assume being in sport would hold the gears longer and likely downshift with less input. Congrats on the Touring, that's what I put a deposit on too.
Thank you for the review
Pilot lost MPG with this new platform and adopted hard plastics across the cabin even in the Elite trim for cost cutting measures. In my opinion the technology, fit and finish is way behind Telluride. It definitely needs a refresh!
Pilot for the win! Pros: exterior design, interior design, perfect infotainment screen placement on the dashboard-super helpful on the daily, panoramic sunroof, 8-seat configuration, and a fantastic 10 speed transmission. No way to go wrong w the Pilot at the $44k-$52k range.
Great detailed comparison review. Love you to compare the new Mazda CX-90 and compare to the new Pilot or when revealed the new Toyota Grand Highlander.
Does pilot have smart cruise control good as Telluride? Then I will choose pilot. I hate stuck on traffic
Wow! Thanks for the very articulate driving comparo between the two. I just came back from test driving the '23 Pilot and design-wise, I prefer the new Pilot. Even though the Telluride has the refreshed interior screens, the actual exterior design of the Telluride still shows its age vs the new design of the Pilot-- sharper headlights/tailights for the Pilot which I like. I do wish the Pilot had the digital rear view mirror-- But glad to know Hondas lane centering and adaptive are now competant! Looking forward to seeing the Trailsport in person!
Great review. I'm looking for a Pilot also for my next car unless the new Odyssey is AWD.
One interesting feature the Pilot has is that flexible middle row, which can be used as a 3-across bench or 2 captain’s chairs.
That’s really important for a family SUV when you are carrying a lot of people and their baggage. If you only have captain’s chairs and are forced to put down the 3rd row to carry stuff, then you’re limited to only 4 people in the car, which sucks. With the new Pilot, you can easily carry 5 people and a ton of stuff, or 8 people and a decent amount of stuff.
I wish all 3 row SUVs had that feature.
Kia actually has something like that on some trims of the Carnival minivan. I don’t think upper trims of the Telluride have that.
My biggest question with the Telluride is long term reliability. If you’re going to get a $50,000 vehicle, you either lease it or make sure it’s ultra reliable so you can amortize that price over many years of driving.
I would tend to trust a 200,000 mile Honda. Not sure about a 200,000 mile Kia. Nothing against Hyundai/Kia, I’ve owned a Hyundai that was very cleverly built and did well by me, but not quite the quality of Hondas and Toyotas I’ve owned.
That three seat middle row is a really cool feature. Didn't have time to get into as much interior items as I wanted in the video. The flexible middle row in the Pilot was another nail in the coffin to me for the Telluride. We originally wanted a higher trim level Telluride, but were going to have to sacrifice getting a high trim level to get a bench seat. Was glad to see that the upper trim Pilots had the flexible three seat middle. Reliability is also a huge consideration too. I hope the new Pilot lives up to Honda's reputation. But I agree - can't see a 200,000 Hyundai/Kia holding up as well or retaining near as much value in 10-15 years.
That is a giant feature for families. That and the bigger cargo capacity is much more important to me than things like a slightly larger touchscreen.
@@almassengale Exactly. Plus, if you keep that middle seat in place, not only do you get 3-across seating in the middle row, you also get an extra large storage area under the cargo floor (where the middle seat would be stored if you want captain’s chairs). Win win win.
I haven’t driven it yet, but I am seriously considering this new 2023 Pilot. Honda really answered a lot of my “asks” with it.
-Keep the V6 and don’t do a turbo 4 like the Highlander? Check!
-Ventilated front seats option? Check!
-360 degree camera for the big SUV? Check!
-Tighter turning radius for tight parking situations? Check!
Now if only they could have done something about the fuel economy. Oh well, maybe next generation.
From a reliability standpoint Honda may be better but Kia also has almost double the warranty so pick your poison 🤷♂️
@@neppcity I've heard that the Hyundai and Kia warranties are actually a pain to actually use if something were to happen. Like they give you a hard time if you are trying to use the warranty for certain things that should be covered. Like I said though, that's just what I've heard some say, and don't have any personal experience.
Great review
How does headroom and legroom compare to the Telluride? I'm 6'3" with broad shoulders and am waiting for something that has as much head/shoulder/leg room as my current 2011 Ford Flex. If I get a Pilot, I'm probably stuck with the EX-L or Sport as I usually can't do moonroofs, as they rob too much headroom for me, and I doubt I can order a Touring and delete the moonroof.
I didn't pay close attention to the leg room since both vehicles had more than enough for me at 5' 11". I did notice that the Pilot seats held me pretty well, so that may be a little tighter for someone with broader shoulders. The headroom in the Pilot was great. When my 5'10" wife was driving, I saw there was about 7" of head room above her. But that was on the EX-L with no sunroof. But even if the sunroof adds 3" (which is probably more than it really does), I think there will still be a ton of headroom.
I'm 6'3" as well and the Pilot legroom was terrible from anywhere but the driver's seat. The seats are low to the floor and don't have a lot of travel, so my knees were in the air and my thighs didn't touch the seats. Driver's power seat is height adjustable which helps but you need to go all the way up to the Elite to get a height adjustable passenger seat. That was a dealbreaker for us. It really shocked me because Honda likes to tout class leading volume numbers but those claims don't align with reality...for both passenger and cargo space.
I test drive both the same day and went home with the pilot elite.
Agree on most points, Drew. I do feel the Telluride's front seats are more comfortable overall and are a little deeper (I'm 6'4"). What has convinced me to go with the Pilot is dealership experiences. The Kia sales people have been poor to actually ignorant, even before getting to the market adjustment conversation. I've been in 7 Kia dealerships, all with bad, bad attitudes. To be fair, Honda is not what it once was, in this respect. But overall, I felt liked I'd been slimed when I left the Kia dealers and I don't want to wonder what my service experience will be like at Kia. Most of the Honda sales people I experienced were average to excellent. Good luck with your new Pilot!
Out of curiosity, did you take any steps regarding the depth of the front Pilot seats? I'm the same height, and the best I can do is tilting the rear back a bunch to give my butt an extra inch or two to push back.
The driver seat is OK with the front height tilt adjustment, but that passenger seat can get pretty rough. Maybe some kind of thigh support/extender cushion? I just can't think of anything that wouldn't block the seat heating/ventilation function in the process, which would be a huge bummer...
I have silver BRZ too. My other car is Kia stinger. 3rd or replacement of stinger would be pilot as my family is growing. I am probably going for pilot as well.
MDX has sophisticated suspension setup and odyssey would share the architecture, that's how it has always been, all three share most parts.
2023 Pilot and MDX are on the latest platform. The Ridgeline, Passport and Odyssey are still on previous platform.
@@fredmoss4540 yes but eventually rest would be on new platform as well
@ruturaj47 Yes, I was hoping Ridgeline would be fully redesigned this year.
We have Gen 1 2007 Ridgeline in family.
Not my own personal vehicle, but I picked it out accessorized it. I was the primary driver for 2 years when new.
So Honda disappointed me in not redesigning and putting on new platform like Pilot. Now I'm ready to finally treat myself to a new vehicle. I decided to get 2024 Pilot Elite next month.
.
@@fredmoss4540 nice. Not sure why Honda is delaying passport and Ridgeline's move to new platform. I am still struggling to decide between a used 2022 Sequoia, 2024 pilot and 2024 Palisade.
@ruturaj47 Honda forced me to
decision on Pilot. The Ridgeline infotainment is outdated. I will be keeping the vehicle for at least 10 years. It could be my last. I always liked the Acura MDX not so much previous
The last pilot was okay in looks but like this much better.
MDX is out of question the price.
I can get all I want in Pilot Elite.
The Touring trim lacks features I want.
The Elite trim has a few I don't have to have. Panoramic Roof, I don't need.
Heads up display, not really but I'll take.
Touring lacks ventilated seats also heated Steering Wheel.
I want the brown interior so that makes the choice of Elite trim.
Have a 22 Passport Trailsport, very much like it, but don't like the adaptive cruise or LKAS. I turn those features off
Do you think LKA and adaptive cruise are helpful on the highway in your Passport? I don't see having LKA on around town - more of a feature I'll use on long road trips.
Thanks for an objective review. Both have strong points and some weak points, and they are closely matched in feature sets. The AndroidAuto/Apple Carplay issue is REALLY a miss on the Telluride BUT the Honda has the smaller and strangely placed info center screen. The Telluride does come with some features that have to be optioned on the Pilot, but the Pilot comes with proven Honda engineering and reliability. Both however, are fine SUVs for this segment. What I do find amusing is in some comments you'll get "Kia all the way!!" or "Honda is SOOO much better" when in reality they are very closely matched in engineering aspects, refinement, and comfort. It all comes down to personal preference. That said, within the next few months I intend to buy....... one or the other. LOL! Gotcha!!! Still doing my research.
Excellent analysis 💯👏💵
Thanks!
That was great, thanks 👍🏻
Thanks!
Have you test driven the lexus rx 350? If yes, how does it compare with the telluride in terms of ride comfort and quietness?
I haven't driven the new generation RX but I did drive a 2018 last week. '23 Telluride has better ride and road noise levels than that RX.
@Drew Johnson Thank you! And your comparison review was pretty good, I'd like to see more of such content.
Keep it up!
Thanks! I am planning to make a few more videos once I get mine, which should be within the next few weeks!
@Drew Johnson I certainly look forward to that
Wish you all the best!
My choices were the jeep grand Cherokee, Telluride. I just test drove pilot trail sport today. Now my choices are pilot or jeep. Telluride has been eliminated. Pilot is 15k cheaper and handled well. Jeep straight luxury in the summit reserve.
The 2023 Pilot uses a new version of the 3.5L V6 - it has DOHC vs SOHC; there's no VTEC anymore (but it has DOHC so apparently doesn't need it); and I forget the rest of the differences. Honda says it's "all new" but others I've conversed with doubt that it's truly all new. Let me know what else you find out if you dig into this new for 2023 Pilot V6. Thanks for this comparison - the Pilot is looking really good in my mind too. Pilot has strut front suspension while MDX has double wishbone (not that you talked much about that if at all.) Oh, also, the Telluride uses an Atkinson Cycle engine, which generates more heat. I prefer the Pilot design.
I will let you know if I find out any more info on their new 3.5. I do agree, seems unlikely that it would be all new given the fact that they've been producing highly-rated 3.5 V6s for decades. Yes - I think savagegeese brought up the issue with Hyundai/Kia 3.8 V6 using Atkinson Cycle and producing a lot of heat that may reduce the overall lifespan. Not as big of a deal for original owners with the factory warranty, but may play significant factor in resale values if the engine doesn't prove to be as reliable as the competition.
@@drewjohnson321 Thanks, I appreciate it. Another channel, "The Car Care Nut" addresses the engine, and is also a bit concerned about the transmission. He's a previous Toyota mechanic (he now has his own shop) so he can go into great detail in some of his videos.
... all new in a Honda. It's been in the RDX and MDX.
The small screen is obviously a supply chain issue. I can clearly tell the dash was designed for a larger sized display and they just stuck the small screen in as a stop gap rather than delaying the release of the vehicle to wait for screens. There is massive empty space around where it mounts in the dash.
2024 models may have the larger screens. If not by next year, definitely the mid model update in a few years will feature much bigger screens.
12.3" size on the new Accords, you are right, some have commented it's an obvious upgrade for the 2024 model year, they literally have filler materials in that space, the dash is ready for that bigger size when you really look at it.
Thank you!
Telluride is best family suv currently in the market. Pilot is boring suv for old guys.
Did you check out the Honda pilot elite?
Nope, the dealer only had a Sport and EX-L. I only drove the EX-L.
Anyone know where i can find floor mats spesific to the Pilot 2023? I like the ones Honda sell but im open to getting them somehwere else.
Drew thank you so much for doing this. I have owned 4 Hondas(civic, ody, and 2 accords currently drive 2019 touring with 2.0 which I must say makes it quite fast.My niece just bought 22 Telluride and really loves it so I was uncertain of new Pilot or considering Kia. But I really feel that it could have been me doing this video as you mentioned all the things I consider with a new car. I do know that the KIa has a much better long term warranty. Can I ask you about back seat room did it feel spacious? Also on a more minor note how was the sound system? Thanks
Glad this was helpful! Middle seat in Pilot (and Telluride) felt spacious - tons of leg room for me at 5'11". Even the third row outside seats were comfortable for me in both SUVs. Regarding stereo - yes I tried the system in the EX-L which is their mid-level stereo for the Pilot (Honda calls it the "225-Watt Audio System with 9 Speakers, including Subwoofer"). I tried it with youtube music connected through the wireless carplay and it was pretty bad actually. Slightly worse than the Telluride's premium HK stereo, which doesn't sound great either. Might be better with a wired connection and streamed through Amazon's lossless service. I'm hoping that the 12 speaker Bose system in the Touring and Elite is substantially better... we'll see.
We just bought the 2023 Pilot EX L and have put 600 miles on it and love it so far. We had our 3 kids sit in a Telluride and then they got into the Pilot. I feel and the kids agreed that the Pilot has more room.
Did you cross shop the Atlas? I'm stuck between the top trim levels of that and the Pilot. Atlas is several k cheaper, standard tow hitch and not the first model year. Less seats, but the middle back seat of the new Pilot seems like a joke and just makes the rear less comfortable 99% of the time. I like Honda for reliability, but it seems like warped rotors are inevitable and the first model year might have issues.
Yes, I drove an Atlas SE with tech package and V6. I felt like the transmission hunted and wasn't calibrated nearly as well or as seamless as the Telluride or Pilot. The engine didn't feel as refined either at idle or driving around. It was quieter than the Telluride on the highway though. Interior of Atlas shows its age compared to the Telluride and Pilot and also has a surprising amount of hard plastic in high touch and very visible locations... doesn't seem as nice as its competition. About the third row middle seat on the Pilot - I agree. Not a practical seat for a road trip or sitting in for any length of time, but for my needs, it can make the difference between taking two cars vs just one when family is visiting or when we have three other couples we want to go out with. Nice to have the option to cram in there and still be legal and have a seat belt for everyone.
@@drewjohnson321 Thanks so much for the reply. Does that mean you think the Atlas would be even more quiet than the Pilot on the highway? That's a big deal for me.
@@hematose I think it's at least as quiet - probably just slightly quieter actually - than the EX-L Pilot that I drove. The EX-L only has an acoustic glass windshield but not in the front door windows. So it's possible a Pilot Touring or Elite with the AG front door windows might be quieter than the Atlas, but I'm not sure.
Redesigned pilot is awesome. However this review is biased.
Are you getting a 2023 or waiting a year?
Just put a deposit on a 2023 Pilot last night!
@Drew Johnson very nice! Ours should be arriving next week! Super excited
Got my pilot touring but the engine is super loud ,it is annoying
Curious why there's an MDX in the preview image...... good video though!
There's a picture of an MDX at one point in the video but not sure why that would be the preview image!
17 minutes of looking at you. Why?
Just show the vehicles and put your voice audio over that.
kia is just like jeep, for the fans it doesnt matter if its gonna break as long as they like how it looks.
Is it big as a 4Runner vs palisade?
The new pilot is actually larger then the palisade/ telluride by about 3 inch. You get better head and leg room in the 3rd row.
Volume is way-too-low; wish I could hear you better.
Would have been nice to have a lapel mic!
Slightly biased towards Honda pilot. I took it as your own personal exp. I have bit different and better exp with Telluride
Great comparison, Drew. It is so difficult to draw conclusions with modern suvs.
A simple design fault which this Honda tech has pointed out is the poorly positioned gear selector which is right next to the cup holders. If you do drink coffee, it will spill onto your gears and cause a short at one point or another. More design issues here:
th-cam.com/video/Wn-2iF7iQsg/w-d-xo.html
Thanks! I saw that video too - I would prefer it not have the buttons next to the cup holders. Glad there are some other options in the doors for cups and storage though. One thing I wonder about in that design issues video is the premise that the rotors are going to be prone to warping quickly. This was an issue on the previous gen and other Hondas but the '23 Pilot got bigger rotors. I wonder if that tech knows that and/or if it will make a difference in longevity.
Problem is Kia doesn’t age well. Honda lasts forever.
This guy works for Honda dealer
The rear design of pilot is stupid ugly it's a deal breaker for me
Telluride 🥰 better
More videos
Honda for the Win! Better resale and no worries about fires. 😂
Handsome, more videos. More
L
There is absolutely NO comparison between the two THE TELLURIDE is HANDS DOWN a better vehicle in both QUALITY and OPTIONS!!!L!LL?
Wrong maybe more options but the pilot will last longer and have a high resale value.
I would choose Reliabilty. Pilot it is
Yes you forgot reliability
Big transmission problem after only 30k on some kia’s
They are beautiful but not there yet
Lol wrong, watch savagegeese music review and come back to me. Kia is nice, id take it over the germans but not honda or toyota, not close.
Knowing that it's a Kia I laugh 🤣🤣
🤣🤣i laugh at you
You should probably check it out. It’s not the same as it used to be back when it started. I know several physicians that drive the telluride and could easily afford something else. You’d be surprised
This is just a biased lecture. Telluride is better
Keep driving that cheap Kia!
Doesn’t come off as biased. Think everyone needs to test drive these two before making decision. I am fine with screen size of Pilot and really like how it has wireless Apple-car play.
@kgindpls I have tried both but I agree with your preferences. Wireless car play is a miss for the Telluride. I however my ❤️ Telluride. Best car I ever bought
For a family vehicle the better cargo space and removable third row middle seat of the Pilot make a major difference.
Pilot's AWD is way better than KIA's AWD. No skid plates, no recovery points and trail cam.
I wouldn’t compare a Kia to a Honda, Kia’s and Hyundai have horrible transmissions, just awful.
