Overview
If you’re shopping for a dependable, family-friendly SUV, the 2025 Hyundai Palisade and 2025 Honda Pilot are two great options. Both are powerful, spacious, and packed with modern features. But which one fits your needs best? At Chris Crain Hyundai in Conway, AR, we’re here to help you decide by comparing these SUVs in performance, off-road ability, technology, comfort, and safety. By the end, you’ll see why the Palisade stands out as the top choice!
Performance & Powertrain Options
Both SUVs deliver strong performance, but they have some differences. The Palisade comes with a 3.8L V6 engine that produces 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. Its 8-speed automatic transmission makes every drive smooth and efficient.
The Honda Pilot also has a V6 engine, offering 285 horsepower and the same torque. However, its 10-speed automatic transmission can feel less balanced compared to the Palisade.
Off-road Capabilities
If you love adventure, off-road capabilities are important. The Palisade offers HTRAC All-Wheel Drive with multiple driving modes. This system adjusts power to the wheels for better grip on snow, mud, or rough roads—perfect for winter or tricky trails.
The Pilot also offers all-wheel drive and terrain modes for sand, snow, and mud. Its TrailSport trim is built for off-roading with features like enhanced suspension and extra underbody protection.
Technology Features
Modern technology is a must in today’s SUVs, and the Palisade goes above and beyond. It has a 12.3-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an available Wi-Fi hotspot, a Harman Kardon audio system, and even a digital key for convenience.
The Pilot also has a touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but its screen tops out at 9 inches. While it offers solid tech features, it doesn’t include premium extras like a digital key or an advanced audio system.
Interior Space & Comfort
For families, comfort and space are key. The Palisade seats up to 8 people and offers second-row captain’s chairs for added luxury. Inside, you’ll find soft-touch materials, available Nappa leather seating, and an 8-way power driver’s seat. With 86.4 cubic feet of cargo space, there’s plenty of room for everyone and their gear.
The Honda Pilot also seats up to 8 and offers captain’s chairs on higher trims. It provides slightly more cargo space at 87 cubic feet, but the interior materials don’t feel as upscale as the Palisade’s premium finishes.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Safety is a top concern for families. The Palisade comes standard with Hyundai SmartSense, a collection of advanced safety systems to keep you and your loved ones protected. The Pilot also includes Honda Sensing, a similar suite of safety features. Both SUVs prioritize keeping families safe.
Our Choice
While the 2025 Honda Pilot is a great SUV, the 2025 Hyundai Palisade shines in important areas like performance, technology, interior comfort, and premium features. Here’s what sets the Palisade apart:
