The 2023 Honda Pilot has five advantages over the Kia Telluride, while the latter has five disadvantages.

One of the Honda Pilot's main rivals is the Kia Telluride

which is also one of the Toyota Highlander, GMC Acadia, Mazda CX-9, and a few other vehicles.

Across trim levels, the Telluride and Pilot have a lot of visual and mechanical similarities.

Both are excellent vehicles because of their efficiency and tech-rich, comfort-oriented

which help make lengthy journeys seem shorter. Because it checks too many boxes,

the Telluride three-row C-SUV has consistently given the Pilot a terrible time of it.

The Honda Pilot redesign for the 2023 model year, on the other hand, effectively puts it somewhat

ahead of the Telluride thanks to great handling, a pleasant cabin, and useful storage places.
