2023 Honda CR-V vs 2023 Honda Pilot

Serving O’Fallon, IL

The 2023 Honda lineup is brimming with well-equipped crossovers to suit most auto shoppers’ wants and needs. The two-row CR-V often captures attention thanks to its spirited style and capabilities, and it is frequently compared to the three-row Pilot. With a closer look at these Honda crossovers, you will find that they have a few shared traits and many exciting differences.

Performance

A test drive of these two Honda models reveals some of those differences. The 2023 Pilot is available with a gas or hybrid engine. Specifically, these are a four-cylinder, 1.5-liter turbocharged, 190-horsepower gas system, and a 204-horsepower hybrid system. These are accompanied by a continuously variable auto transmission with either front-wheel or all-wheel drive. In comparison, the 2023 Honda Pilot is exclusively offered with a 285-horsepower, V6, 3.5-liter gas engine. In addition to being paired with a 10-speed auto transmission, this engine is offered with front-wheel or all-wheel drive.

Appearance

The 2023 Honda Pilot and the 2023 CR-V are both easy on the eyes and share some brand-specific design language. Their noses have the same wide grille with similarly shaped headlights. On the CR-V, these headlights have an upper LED ribbon, and the Pilot has a lower LED ribbon. A dark front bumper, narrow air vents, side pinstripes, and thick molding also define the 2023 CR-V. On the other hand, the Pilot ensures ample space across its three rows through its tall roofline and longer stance. It also has a slightly larger grille, more robust front air vents, and metal accents on the bumper. In addition, the Pilot displays smooth sides.
