2020 Chevrolet Traverse vs 2020 Honda Pilot: Comparison of Specs & Features

specs features trim price 2020 chevy traverse vs 2020 honda pilot

Today we have a battle between two of the more popular, 3-row SUVs. To begin, we have the newly re-designed new Traverse, now highlighted by a more truck-like style versus the bubble shape of the original design. The Pilot was the recipient of a renovation a year ago and mechanically is unchanged for '20. These mid-size SUVs battle back and forth in the sales rankings, yet which one is absolutely the very best? We'll take a look at all the information and figure it out.

Performance

The power and efficiency of these 2 mid-size SUVs is rather similar. The brand-new Honda Pilot is powered by a 3.5L V6 that produces 280hp and 262 lb-ft of torque. There is a choice of either a 6-speed or 9-speed auto, both of which average up to 27mpg on the highway (Front-Wheel Drive, fueleconomy.gov). Previously available with an optional turbo 4-cylinder engine, the new Traverse is equipped with a 3.6L V6 engine generating 310hp and 262 lb-ft of torque. The Traverse has one transmission, a 9-speed auto that returns a duplicate of the Pilot, 27mpg on the highway (Front-Wheel Drive, fueleconomy.gov). While both SUVs offer All-Wheel Drive, the Traverse wins this battle on the strength of more horsepower without giving up fuel economy.

Design

While appeal could be in the eye of the beholder, the style choices made on these SUVs couldn't be more different. The 2020 Traverse dumps the jelly bean appearance of the previous version and looks more innovative including 18-inch wheels, HID headlights, and LED DRL/tail lights. Inside is very much the exact same tale, you'll find ten total cup holders, six standard USB ports, and comfortable seating for 7 or 8 (depending upon the arrangement). The developers of the new Honda Pilot have actually made it almost indistinguishable from the Honda Passport, and it is additionally extremely comparable to the CR-V and HR-V. The Pilot features 18-inch wheels, LED lighting, and a Roofline Spoiler with Integrated Brake Light.

Technology

It is fascinating that both SUVs can both be equipped with technology that is comparable, yet how that modern technology is deployed is very different. Both SUVs can be purchased with optional 8-inch touchscreen stereo systems, navigation, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and Wi-fi hotspots. However, while the Traverse has a 7-inch display and the cellphone integration as standard attributes, the Pilot only provides you a 5-inch screen and you need to update for the cell phone integration. Alternatively, if you purchase a Pilot you have no choice but to take the full Honda Sensing® Safety Collection of Driver Assist Tech. Both vehicles can be purchased with technology like Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, and Lane Maintaining Assist but the Traverse has trims that do not overdo the technology (and the cost).
