2023 Honda Pilot vs 2023 Kia Telluride
Overview
If you're in the market for a new SUV, you've likely narrowed down your options to include the 2023 Honda Pilot and the 2023 Kia Telluride. While both vehicles are leaders in the midsize SUV segment, here's why you'll want to go with the Pilot.
Power and Performance
The 2023 Pilot comes equipped with a V-6 engine capable of producing 285 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. While the Telluride's V-6 puts out 291 horsepower, it puts out the same amount of torque as the Pilot's engine. Plus, it pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission that isn't as smooth as the Pilot's 10-speed automatic. When it comes to towing capacity, front-wheel-drive Pilot models can tow up to 3,500 pounds, while all-wheel-drive models can tow up to 5,000 pounds. All Telluride models can tow 5,000 pounds.
Interior
While the Pilot and Telluride both seat eight, the Pilot also offers up to 111.8 cubic feet of cargo space. The Telluride's available cargo space maxes out at 87.0 cubic feet. The Pilot also comes standard with heated front seats, a feature you'll have to pay extra for if you go with the Telluride. With the Pilot, you can take advantage of a standard 10-way adjustable power driver's seat with two-way lumbar support. While the Telluride lineup offers an eight-way adjustable driver's seat and a 10-way adjustable driver's seat, these features are only available in upper trim levels. Plus, the Pilot cabin is sleek and streamlined, making the Telluride cabin feel boxy and cramped in comparison. As you can see, the 2023 Honda Pilot offers much more than the 2023 Kia Telluride.
