My height is 6.2ft or 189mm
That’s why it’s like the vehicle is small ,, you are tall ,, now the people with 5 ft up can imagine there self in that vehicle
Thank you for your reply and review
You know the second row of the Honda can adjust your seat back right? 😅
I'm 6ft. 4in. And and fit in the Honda Pilot with room to spare!
average height is 5ft 10 in Canada and USA. there is plenty of room in both cars but pilot is a lot better in headroom.
The kick to open feature is usually in the center of the bumper expecting the driver to walk up to the tailgate to put in something, not on the corner of the vehicle.
Disappointing that GH only gained 1 MPG. Turbo engines have more that can break down - give me a buttery smooth V6.
This, Toyota said they did it for emissions NOT MPG. However, I feel like it was more of a "brain fart" moment and the emissions line is just an excuse. Because that V6 was the best V6 in the mid-size SUV category, refined for almost a decade and got above average MPG. The fact that this 4l Turbo only gets 1 MPG better, just proves how good the old V6 was.
I recently drove every large crossover and full size SUV and found the Pilot to be the best blend of space, versatility and ride quality. Coming from 2 straight Toyota Sequoias, I was excited to try the GH but the ride quality was really bad and it was surprisingly noisy. Toyota is prioritizing fuel efficiency over ride quality which may appeal to some but I prefer a quieter smooth ride and will sacrifice some MPGs.
I own a GH and the ride and quiet cabin are great. Not sure where you drove it but its a vast improvement from my old Atlas.
I’ve heard ride is noisy in GH, thin hood rattles
@@kevlew70Well Honda and Acura makes best car body. Better than Toyota and similar quality comparable as of to Volvo. They use sound deadening and do a lot of sound proofing along with ANC (active noise cancellation) standard in most Acura. They use high quality zinc coating on body too. Other than weak transmissions, alternator and electrical stuff every other part of Honda and Acura exceeds Toyota in quality. Toyota is just a great overall package.
If you are willing to pump some money into your Honda and take care of it. I t would last 25-30 years+.
There are 80's and 90's manual Acuras that are still on road in rust belt areas.
The Lexus TX is also loud. It produces a loud wind noise.
I have a GH and the ride is very smooth and very quiet. I do not have crossbars on my roof rack. I remember when I added them to my old 2007 Honda Pilot the wind noise increased dramatically
I remember when the black trim and panels on your vehicle meant you bought the cheapest model, DX or LX model, rather than full body color panels and bumpers. What's old is new again
I purchased the pilot touring after seeing both. I was surprised how good i felt inside the pilot and how comfortable and silent it drives. I like the simplicity too.
How was the push button shifter?I heard it's a crap and lots of problems occur after a month.
@@crouchingtiger7552 been driving my Honda pilot trailsport 2024 since January no issues. super smooth and quiet.
@@crouchingtiger7552 no problems yet. I don't like it though. I sometimes get confused. Once I was having high revs all because I pushed d/s button twice by mistake.
@@crouchingtiger7552 I've had mine for 3 months. No issues with the push button shifter at all. Seriously. None...
I rented the EXL and I was happy with it but to me it seemed slightly sluggish on the acceleration. I really enjoy my 17’ Pilot.
Finally... Was looking for this comparison... Ty 😁
It really isn’t a comparison if the pilot is not”Grand”.
Definitely Pilot. GH has hybrid yes, but they’re in short supply and thousands more. Most are gas models which felt not as good as the pilot imo.
Thank you, thank you Sam. I love the fact this guy always presents the " facts " straightforward . Same thing applies when he performs his drag races ! ❤
Pilot is the best
In Canada, we drive on the snow and ice for 4-5 months every year, we should raise the importance factor of the AWD capability, then Honda Pilot wins.
Yes. Honda Pilot is the BEST.
Absolutely. Honda's AWD system is one of the best ever made.
Best...how? how you compare the quality of a Toyota during the winter? best? best what?
yeah I don't see toyotas with awd or 4wd drive getting stuck or having their transmissions fail early.
the GH 360 camera is only an option on the limited trim, not standard. So be careful when shopping
Black out edition is offered in the US and it’s offered in black
Honda all day. I’ll take a naturally aspirated motor over turbo charged, and every other review out there comments on how the Grand Highlander rides like a boat. Soft and squishy yet wallows and bogs in the corners with massive body roll.
Cyclinder deactivation is reliable? Idk there has been issues.
You are 100% correct. Drove both, bought the Pilot Elite . No body roll or “boaty wallowing”
The Pilot feels more planted and secure on the road and on curves. It takes rough asphalt and bumps-and smooths them out better. Price $55,000 out the door, total bottom line. I know this vehicle will last me many, many years.
I ended up getting the Pilot EX-L. Extremely solid, comfortable, well built/designed and pretty nice to drive
Why does he keep kicking the under carafe from the side? The sensors are in the center 🤷🏼♀️
I recently purchased a Grand Highlander XLE awd hybrid.
I love it. ❤ I do alot of highway driving and get about 28mpg highway and 30mpg city.
It's good in the snow (live in northern MI) and the inside is large enough to fit a toddler and 2 teens comfortably in the back without feeling like it's too cramped. I originally wanted a sequoia, however the seats in it can't fold flat and it was 30k more than the GH.
The Honda was a no-brainer on many levels. I really have no idea why people are hung up on screen size. It wasn't long ago where 5 or 6 inch screens were easily adopted. The 9 inch works fine and in no way is a detrement to what you will use it for. A 6 cylinder ICE motor was the main reason I went for the Honda. It still has descent gas mileage and will be way cheaper to any vehicle with a turbo and hybrid vehicle in the long run. At least most mechanics on your road trips can fix most normal engine issues. Try fixing a hybrid when it breaks anywhere but a dealer! And cost!! Don't even get me started, and I know! Why I got rid of my hybrid years ago. Love the extra milleage it gets you, but in the long run, there is so much more to maintain. I have nothing against Toyota, but I just can't the turbo or hybrid again unless I'm forced to. So, I just bought the 2024 Honda Elite and love it!
The screen will be fixed in the mid cycle update in 2026
Nothing wrong with the screen, but if it's updated to the larger one, so be it. I still am fine with the 9 inch. No issues. @@ItsAlive111
The only thing I wish they had kept the VTEC. It is a such a joy when you are racing someone off the light and suddenly the VTEC kicks in and it's like a mini turbo kicks in and the car takes off.
@@alijoon1621 I hear you, but they really had no choice to stay emmissions compliant for the future. Either that or end up with turbos like everyone else seems to be going. I actually enjoy the motor and think it has plenty of pep and sounds great and most of all is still an ICE motor.
Clearly you never drove the Highlander it’s a much more superior car by a really long shot.
The grand highlander has a bigger 3rd row but I remember watching savagegeese where they said it’ll make the passengers more car sick. Ended up with the 2023 pilot and loving it!
Did you see the 3rd row comparison from this video ? GH 3rd row is bigger on paper but he felt more confortable in the Pilot because of it bigger head room...
@@vigninnouhinnoude2792 I actually found more comfortable too on the Pilot comparing both 3rd rows surprisingly , I’m 5’6 if that means anything.
Pilot is by far the better choice. V6 vs a complicated turbo four. Better AWD system.
You ended up with a 23 pilot because you bought it before the grand highlander came out…. The gh smokes the little pilot
My kids are fighting for the third row in my pilot :)
will be interesting to see engine longevity..Honda NA V6 vs Toyota's 2.4T...my money is on the Honda for long term ownership. That 2.4 T is going to be working in the boost a lot of its life to move 4600lbs...
Not me, Toyota isn't going to sacrifice years of being the best for longevity over a turbo! I love my Grand, best Toyota I've owned, and I've owned A LOT!
Turbo doesn’t work as hard with hybrid set up I would think
Hybrid doubles the tech, doubles the maintenance cost, doubles the long-term headaches.
For me it's the 2022 toyota highlander V6, bring back that engine. The Real 3.5 liter motor ❤
Indeed. Losing the V6 was a terrible idea. Pilot is by far the better choice.
Not really, I swapped my 3.5L V6 Highlander for the Grand Highlander and its the same thing! I know the V6 is said to hold up better, but remember, this is Toyota. They don't sacrifice quality for numbers! Toyota has a big name for longevity, they aren't going to ruin years of hard work for a turbo!
Sam , you’re right about the third row the Pilot feels slightly bigger and I’m 5’6 .
In the video, the GH looks wider. It looked like it had more space for a person in the middle. Is this true in your experience?
The Pilot is a direct competitor to the Highlander not the GH on the Toyota Lineup. Honda should bring another variant called ' Pilot Plus' which should be slightly larger than the current pilot and it should have a hybrid option. The GH was too big for me and it had the suburban,trucky feel. The pilot is perfect for families who need that extra third-row and feel like they are still driving the CRV.
The Honda Pilot Black Edition is now available in the US
This is the first video that says Pilot has more room in the 3rd row than Grand Highlander. Most of video I saw said GH has more room than Pilot. What is the correct information?
You can see it yourself - no need for numbers
Thank you for covering these great vehicles. Very informative and interesting. I just wish Honda offered a hybrid offering for their Pilot.
Whichever one you go with you cannot go wrong it just boils down to personal preference
Bingo
I agree, I went with the GH Hybrid because of fuel efficiency and size.
The deal breaker for me is the turbo 4-cylinder. How reliable is it compared with the naturally aspirated engine V6? That is why they are so popular because of their known reliability. Now the new turbo V4, I like to know how reliable it is in the long run.
It’s Toyota be forreal it’s not like it’s ford Toyota would not make an engine that would cost them a lot to repair
land cruiser now a days has turbos, so i think these turbos are good..... ummmmm need to decide and think before buying with turbos, so no regrets in the future if ever problem arises.
We don't know yet but I would keep my distance from them altogether.
@@bogart5131 - it's not about the turbo being good or not. It's about how long the engine can last.
@@lilpeppa117G - ???? I think you missed the point. Turbo setups have a shorter life for the engine.
I would choose Grand Highlander only if if has a V6 engine
Yup. I wouldn't even be considering the pilot if grand highlander was a v6. I'm 80% leaning towards pilot. Motor motor motor
The Pilot and GH are big vehicle for most reviewers, but they look like crossovers when you stand next to them Sam. Lol. Very nice review Sam. I always watch your reviews. Maybe drag race the midsize 3rows next? Thanks!
Definitely
I think, overall the Pilot is better for bigger, taller people. I had a 2014 Highlander, 2017 Pilot and now on my second Pilot (2024). I also prefer Honda’s handling and engine tuning. But both options are amazing practical and comfortable family haulers. I love this format.
Both are great! The Pilot is the best seller in the segment.
I’ll take the Pilot for that naturally aspirated V6 that I could dog around like a workhorse. Honda’s i-vrtm drivetrain is also excellent with snow and sharp corners. The Trailsport trim for camping and hiking trails.
But in the video, ithe pilot didn't really accelerate that much. If you really want power, you could by a hybrid max GH. Not many out there yet.
The 2nd row seats slide back, that’s why it seems less roomy than the highlander. It’s very room at least the same if not more
the GH camera can show you whats under the car!
Annoyingly you can get 8 seats in the Highlander but only in the base model. We ended up with the Pilot. With a family of 5, and getting all the options we wanted, we loved the second row 3-scross at ALL trim-levels. Your not forced to use the 3rd row with the 5th person and lose a lot of cargo space. Big screens are overrated. Everything that should be a button is a button.
you can get bench seat option in the Limited trim of GH.
One looks like a Lexus the other looks like an Econ box, I owned a 2014 Honda Pilot I was not happy so I went 2024 GH...2T love it
The second row seat slides back. You have it in the forward most position when sitting in it. And you have it slid all the way back when sitting in the third row. This making the legroom look tight in either seat. Also the third row also reclines which you forget to mention. Nice try.
To accurately measure seat space/leg room, seat behind the wheel and adjust it to your most comfortable driving position and distance... move into the second row behind the drivers seat and adjust the seat to where you have enough space where you're comfortable. Then move to the third row behind the second row seat that you adjusted by using the passenger side (to prevent moving the 2nd row seat). Then seat behind the second row seat (driver's side) and make the necessary adjustment (recline) to get comfortable. Only then can you tell which car has more leg room. You moved the Grand Highlander second seat all the way back but not with the Pilot which gave you the impression that the Pilot has more legroom in the 3rd row. Remember, the Grand Highlander has 97.5 cubic feet of interior space behind the first row while the Pilot only has 87 cubic feet. The cargo volume on the Grand Highlander is 20.6 cubic feet while the Pilot has 18.6 feet which means the Grand Highlander still has 8.5 more cubic feet of space in the second and 3rd row seats (97.5 - 87 = 10.5, 10.5 - 2 = 8.5). Don't tell me the Grand Highlander has 9-10 cubic feet more space in the second row than the Pilot for the Pilot to have a more spacious third row than the Grand Highlander.
Both of these are great vehicles that will last a long time. I’d also through in the Subaru Ascent, even though a little smaller.
Easily the pilot. It looks better, interior is better, same space, it performs better drives better transmission is better AWD is better middle seat comes out more storage etc
How dumb is too dumb for u !!
Looked at the Grand Hylander today vs the Pilot, GH felt really cheap inside and basic.
Gh is cheaply made inside and outside.
I think you're wrong
Not same space GH much bigger
Go to dealer to check each space
Because I did
18:00 Small infotainment screen
20:30 Nicer Highlander tech
25:40 3.5 only Pilot, 4600+ lbs; 56/44 weight distribution; 21 MPG combined; $53k US
28:20 Too many gears, comfortable
28:50 Different engine options; More torque; 8speed; 4600+ lbs; 54/46 weight distribution; 22 MPG combined; $54k
31:10 *GH > Pilot*
Better looks and tech, more efficient; softer and quieter.
Pilot has a much better AWD system, rugged Trailsport version, much quieter and smoother J35 NA V6, and at "about" the same price, Pilot has a much better brother called MDX, which is nicer than TX somehow, except the fuel consumption...
@@CocoaBobI disagree with the mdx being better than the tx
@@mouthballgaming6162022 + MDX drives nice with the 10 speed.
The type S comes with 25 speakers and ELS Studio 3D Signature audio system and 355hp. It blows the Mark Levinson audio in Lexus out of the park and is definitely faster and handled amazing in snow with Super handling all wheel drive. It's basically a rear wheel drive car while cornering and it feels like a sedan when you race it in corners.
It sounds amazing with stock exhaust. Acura seats are one of the most comfortable. Only downside would be touchscreen infotainment
Sam with all due respect, American car journalists don't care about us so don't explain yourself to them. I like the way you review cars including motormouth Zach and Andrea coz you guys always considered American consumers. Motormouth breaks down everything trim price etc. more power to your channel.
I know but I do it for the viewers.
You are suppose to kick in the middle section below the rear lift gate to open. You were kicking on the side thats why its not opening.
This sounds like a bit biased towards the toyota. Im not a honda guy but honda has way better handling than the gh. They almost forgot the body control on the gh.
I’m not biased towards any brand I don’t work for any brand I just say what I think and which car I like.
The Black Edition is available in the U.S. I was looking at a black on black. Beautiful. Too big for me. I bought the Passport Trailsport in Radient Red. It also came in the Black Edition.
SG says the Honda Pilot is the best SUV for 2023 - all other opinions don't matter. :)
Who is SG?
Savage Geese… you know the YT car reviewer with zero personality
ZERO personality 😂
Sam, could you please drag race GH and Pilot ?
Yep
how does the new Santa Fe 2024 compare to these cars, it will be interesting to see a comparison by someone who actually drove these three
Hyundai is worse car gd ingine wears after 10000 k
FYI - the Black Edition Pilot is now available in US for MY 2025
Background music is really loud, and voiceover is very quiet.
Nice review, though!!!
For me, I’m going to chose between the Grand Highlander and the Mazda CX 90.
check the review of xc90 by car care nut..... he said something about transmission or something...... but anyway I still love that car too, strong and very fast and interior is excellent...... but i remember, seat are too firm?.... perhaps tray it first
Check Savagegeese comparison of Grand Highlander , CX-90 and Pilot.
There’s massive months long waitlist for the grand Highlander. Dealers charging markup due to demand. No waitlist for the Pilot.
That right there tells you which one is more desirable.
The Pilot has the better overall package over the GH. Maybe the GH gas some features over the Pilot (screen) but the Pilot ticks most of the boxes, you quickly forget about the GH bells and whistles.
To me, the Pilot is the better choice by far. A proven V6 vs a turbo four banger. Way better AWD system. More comfortable.
Honda beats Toyota for everything besides small screen fake exhausts, and no hybrid option.
Honda does beat Toyota for bad transmissions.
@@timlor1789 Honda’s 10 speed auto beats Toyota’s 8 speed for sure.
Toyota/Lexus rule quality and longevity.
True, buy I'd go with the Pilot in this case. V6 and a better AWD system.
As a current Honda pilot elite owner, I agree. My car is in the shop over a week to fix the steering wheel and thread issue in the front seat. Not a good investment.
@@user-sh9ey6gl4b really? I have a 2021 Pilot Elite and so far it has been great.
I would say the pilot wins but its not a confident win. Its got a V6 which can tow 5k lbs. the GH can tow 3.5k but it will kill the engine life because its already a heavy beast. The pilot also has planned obsolescence with cylinder deactivation and iffy quality on components like exhaust and stuff which is why it don’t think it deserves my $50k+. Overall do like the honda styling inside an out though.
There's a device that cancels the deactivation.
The Grand Highlander with the 2.4 liter turbo and the Hybridmax can tow 5,000 lbs. Only the regular hybrid (2.5 liter) tows 3,500 lbs.
The audio is slightly more to the left.
That exterior on the pilot looks really good. We need here in Texas. We have the Sport package but it's at the bottom in features
The black edition is offered in the US, I own one
Now yes
I’m Honda all day long but for Toyota when they got rid of 6 cylinder they lost alot of people that was for Toyota. Honda is nice and simple 6 cylinder all motor just normal with plenty enough power for what I would use it for. Love Toyota as well but the winner here is the pilot for sure
What year models? It's not in the title
2024
When it comes to reliability, power, towing capacity and roominess nothing beats a Chevy Suburban.
The Pilot and Grand Highlander have hardly any room behind the 3rd row. Forget about towing with them.
Reliability lol
Grand highlander and Pilot drag race, could you please do it ?
Definitely
I’m 5 10 300 pounds and I could fit in the 3rd row Of the Honda Pilot Atleast of the 2011 edition
I know that you didn't include it, but I would get the Mazda CX90...
Savagegeese did a comparison of the same 3 SUVs together.
Sorry, but not a fair comparison. 1 is “Grand”” and the Pilot is just a pilot. Do a comparison of the regular Highlander vs Pilot.
Pilot because of the natural V6
Which vehicle is less likely to be stolen in the Greater Toronto Area? We do not live in the GTA, but spent 1 night in Mississauga and our 2021 Highlander was stolen from the hotel parking lot. Didn't like the city before, like it less now!
The grand highlander full loaded is the PLATINUM but I don't know if Is only for hybrid
Good luck with the Turbos, seriously doubt it’ll last 200k miles without major trouble. Toyota should’ve kept the 2gr-fks.
Lucky for me I don’t plan on keeping the car after 100k miles
I came for drag race!
Your music mix is WAAAAAAY too loud compared to your dialogue mix casuing the viewer to jump when the music cuts in. Please master your audio with better balance.
All depends on the taste of each one mine preference is Toyota Highlander
Looking at the pilot touring and trailsport. I want the trailsport but makes more sense to get touring I don’t go off roading I just like the trailsport look inside and out but think the touring makes more sense for me
I had the same dilemma. I end up buying touring. It made more sense to me.
I was in the exact dilemma as well. We needed to upgrade our accord touring to prepare for a new baby. We loved that trim. We drove both and loved both. The trailsport seemed to have a bit more ride comfort with the bigger tires. And my wife will be the primary driver so we went with the trailsport. The tires are offset beyond the wheel so she won’t be able to curb the wheels which was a plus. We don’t do any off-roading but the ruggedness and durability ultimately made our decision. It was the piece of mind knowing my family was wrapped up in a solid vehicle.
@@lukeporter62god bless your family
I think yes.
I got the Honda Pilot in May 2023. It's been 10 months and I love it. I have been on long trips (1000 km) and it feels awesome. Recently, I went to check the Hybrid Grand Highlander for better fuel efficiency but didn't like it. I felt Pilot is roomier than GH. Maybe just me but I dropped the idea of buying GH.
I go with the pilot
Honda all day!
How tall you are? So we can have an idea of the space
6.2
my mom had a last gen pilot and it gave many inconveniences, transmission failed after three years of ownership, auto start stop feature would fail to restart many times, remote start would start car then it would shut off right away, alternator went bad, also causing battery to drain, i really hope honda improved for this new model
Interesting
Was it the ZF 9 speed transmission
Hondas trannys had been bad for years and the v6 engines have problems with the timing belt ,, just that is a no no for me regardless of how many gadgets , colors amenities they put on it , hands down toyota in every way
I don't think I've ever seen someone complain about Auto/Stop/Start not working. Worst feature ever for cars!
@@planetfabulous5833 im only complaining because it fails to restart the car whenever it does activate, but it always defaults to on and we forget to disable the feature
GH win if looking to get hybrid only especially in nyc
Pilot love the look. But come on, they couldn’t put the accords interior ?
Bro, no insult, you remind me of a young H.R. Giger. You need to work that angle, put an Alien egg in the back of the car and have the facehugger jump out with the keys or car brochure. Do a 0 to 60 and have the Alien chase the car, thanks for review sir. 3/04/2024 1512
100% Grand Highlander for me
Does it ever warm up in Canada?? You’re always bundled up.
It does lol - latest video in shorts
the highest gas GH is platinum trim ....
Platinum is hybrid
People complaining about 3rd row space n leg room
Who buys a 3 row suv to haul full size adults 😂🤦🏻♂️
Most people buy it as an alternative to vans to haul family/kids around
I like the Pilot but the rear cargo room is small compared to the Pilot
These are my 2 top options
you seen the crash test on the 2024 Highlander. you couldn't pay me enought to drive that thing. Honda is better
Style, comfort, tech, looks, better fuel consumption thats why I bought the GH over the Pilot.
How tall are you?
6.2
Highlander has great level of reliability😊
pilot has a front bumper at least>
Honda pilot❤
Bro why you gotta keep swinging your foot at the very side of them lol the sensor is probly in the middle lol
This is a biased review. He talked about wind noise & drivers cabin in pilot, not in GH etc etc
I drove both. PILOT is a clear win. Nice drivers cabin, good command, less wind noise, way better visibility than GH, better breaking, easy to handle in sharp turns. GH is lacking in all these segments.
So i just bought PILOT ✅
This is a biased comment.
I have tried both , and pilot is better
It certainly is biased.
Just bought a midsize 3rd row SUV last week after driving Everything...between these 2, its a toss up. GH has better Interior and is more SUV like. Good ride with good feel but back Window is small and 3rd row is lacking comfort. Pilot has better ride(cushier) but also floatier and room inside was more all around but its interior seems dated and too minivanish for an SUV, also the driving experience for us was horrible, seems it felt like the car has a hard time getting out of its own way especially from a stop. Drove 2 Pilots EXL and Touring, just to made sure it wasnt just the EXL. Didnt buy these 2.
Your experience is completely opposite of Savagegeese. They have Pilot Elite for Long Term Testing and had TrailSport in one review.
Man , the GH felt off , noisy motor , hood vibrates , cv drive failures , interior is cheap looking , feels like a mini van disguised as an suv. Smaller inside. The pilot is planted , doesn’t roll , plenty of power…
I looked into both before I decided on the Grand Highlander. The Pilot has strickley a GDI engine, a timing belt and rotors are noted for overheating and warping between 30,000 and 40,000 miles. With all those know maintenance cost it pushed me to the Grand Highlander. GDI's will carbon up and need cleaning every 20,000, timing belt cost replacement between 60,000 and 80,000 miles will cost about $2000 and not sure of rotor cost replacement but I would go with a different brand than Honda and they have known about this for years on their other year Pilots. All this comes from a dealer Honda mechanic to me. Believe me I asked a lot of questions to both though the Pilot is more cost effective on initial purchase and I do believe it is a good vehicle but i also believe the Grand Highlander to be just a bit better IMHO.
Small vs turbo for rhe size of that suv and cvt. You eill have more maintenance in the gh than Pilot
@@titomartinez7185not a cvt. 8 speed auto
Isn't the Toyota Grand Highlander considered a full size SUV.? The Pilot is a mid-size. A more fair comparison would be the Pilot vs the Toyota Highlander?
yes
