When you’re shopping for an SUV like the Honda Pilot or the Chevy Tahoe, you more than likely expect to be driving around with the whole crew. With plenty of amenities in either model, you can ensure everyone has a great ride.
Both the Honda Pilot and the Chevy Tahoe have three rows of seating and can fit seven or eight passengers, depending on the setup. When it comes to comfort, the similarities continue. For instance, you’ll enjoy standard tri-zone climate control in either model, plus available heated front seats.
On the top trims, you can also equip ventilated seating.
With three rows of seating, you’re likely to have differing opinions about the music playing or multiple conversations going on. With features like multi-zone audio and Active Noise Cancellation, you can cut down the noise from outside your Pilot while ensuring that your back-seat riders can nap without getting distracted by your music.
Unfortunately, you won’t find either feature in the Chevy Tahoe.
Speaking of the multi-zone audio, you may be wondering about the other technology features of these models. For instance, how many speakers do they have and how big is the touchscreen?
This is another area where you’ll see some similarities. For instance, both models come with a standard touchscreen between seven and eight inches. You’ll also have Driver Information screens in both models.
In the Chevy Tahoe, this takes the form of a 4.2-inch diagonal screen, while the Honda Pilot comes standard with a 7-inch one.
When it comes to your audio, you’ll have one extra speaker in the Pilot, which comes standard with a 7-speaker system, while the Tahoe has just six.
Both models have available Bose audio systems; but once again, the Honda Pilot offers more speakers with the Bose Premium Sound System with 12 speakers, including subwoofer. In comparison, the best the Tahoe can offer is a 10-speaker system.
Whether you’re just driving to work or going on a vacation with your family, you’ll need to stop for gas and rely on the engine beneath the hood of your vehicle to get you where you need to go.
It’s clear that the Pilot and the Tahoe are powerful vehicles. In fact, the Pilot has a standard V6 engine, while the Tahoe offers a V8 one. With either, you’ll have more than 280 horsepower.
Both models come with a 10-speed automatic transmission and offer4-wheel drive. However, only the Pilot lets you choose between 2-wheel drive and 4-wheel drive, allowing you to be the pilot.
If you want to go farther between stops, having an efficient ride is a must. On all 2-wheel drive trims of the Honda Pilot, you’ll have an EPA-estimated 19 city/27 highway MPG.*
The Tahoe simply doesn’t come close with an EPA-estimated 14 city/20 highway MPG that will require more frequent fuel stops.
