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

2020 chevy traverse vs 2020 honda pilot specs features trim price

Today we have a battle between 2 of the widely known, 3-row Sport Utility Vehicles. First, we have the newly re-designed brand-new Chevrolet Traverse, now highlighted by a much more truck-like style versus the bubble shape of the original model. The Honda Pilot was the beneficiary of a renovation just last year and mechanically is the same for 2020. These mid-size SUVs fight back and forth in the sales rankings, yet which one is absolutely the best? We'll look at all the info and figure it out.

Performance

The performance of these 2 mid-size SUVs is rather similar. The '20 Honda Pilot is powered by a 3.5L V6 engine that produces 280hp and 262 lb-ft of torque. You have your selection of either a 6-speed or 9-speed automatic, both of which get up to 27mpg on the freeway (FWD, fueleconomy.gov). Previously readily available with an optional turbocharged 4cyl engine, the new Traverse is outfitted with a 3.6L V6 producing 310hp and 262 lb-ft of torque. The Traverse has one transmission, a 9-speed automatic that returns a duplicate of the Pilot, 27mpg on the freeway (FWD, fueleconomy.gov). While both vehicles offer All-Wheel Drive, the Traverse wins this fight on the virtues of more horsepower without compromising fuel economy.

Design Highlights

While appeal might be in the eye of the beholder, the design selections made on these SUVs could not be more different. The brand-new Chevy Traverse dumps the jelly bean appearance of the previous design and looks more innovative including 18-inch wheels, HID headlights, and LED DRL/tail lamps. Inside is very much the exact same tale, you'll discover 10 total cupholders, six standard USB ports, and comfortable seating for 7 or 8 (depending on the configuration). The developers of the brand-new Honda Pilot have made it almost identical to the Honda Passport, and it is additionally very similar to the CR-V and HR-V. The Pilot features 18-inch wheels, LED lighting, and a Roofline Spoiler with Integrated Brake Light.

Technology Highlights

It is intriguing that both SUVs can both feature technology that is comparable, yet just how that tech is used is very different. Both vehicles can be purchased with optional 8-inch touchscreen stereo systems, NAV, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and Wi-fi hotspots. Nevertheless, while the Traverse has a 7-inch display and the cellphone integration as common functions, the Pilot just gives you a 5-inch display and you have to upgrade for the smart device integration. Alternatively, if you buy a Pilot you have no option but to take the full Honda Sensing® Safety Suite of Driver Assist Tech. Both cars can be bought with technology like Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, and Lane Keeping Assist but the Traverse offers trims that don't overdo the tech (and the expense).
