The 2017 Toyota Highlander has many competitors, including the 2017 Honda Pilot. Which one comes out first when put head to head? This guide may help you decide. Visit McKinnon Toyota dealer serving Montgomery AL for a closer look at the all-new 2017 Toyota Highlander.

Crash Avoidance

While the Pilot offers crash avoidance technology, the Highlander simply has it. Even the base model has the technology you deserve to help keep your family safer. This includes a front collision warning, an autobrake, and a lane departure warning. Find out about pricing.

Driver Aids

While the Pilot offers driver aids, the Highlander has more. Only the Toyota has self-regulating high beams and adaptive cruise control on every edition. With help like that, drivers can relax more and worry less.

Features

Highlanders come with some features you won’t find on the Pilot. For instance, only the Highlander has second-row reclining seats, a soft-touch in-dash shelf, and a soft-touch roll-top central console. Highlander exclusive options include Optitron instrumentation and the Driver Easy Speak microphone.

Performance

Pilots have a 280-horsepower V6 that produces 262 lb.-ft. of torque. That’s good but it’s not as good as the Highlander V6. This powertrain delivers 295 horsepower and 263 lb.-ft. of torque. In addition, the Highlander is lighter weight than the Pilot. This means that the Highlander has a better horsepower-to-weight ratio. Each horse under the Highlander’s hood can do more. Furthermore, the Highlander’s eight-speed automatic is a bit more impressive than the Pilot’s six-speed automatic.
