Compare the 2024 Honda Pilot vs. Kia Telluride with Patty Peck Honda, below, to learn about some key differences you should consider before making your purchase.

2024 Honda Pilot vs. Kia Telluride: AWD Performance

Many of today’s drivers in the Brandon area want an SUV with all-wheel drive, but in some vehicles, the addition of AWD comes with a caveat of reduced gas mileage. Drivers who choose the 2024 Honda Pilot won’t have to worry about this, because the Pilot gets better AWD gas mileage than the 2024 Kia Telluride:

• 2024 Honda Pilot AWD Fuel Economy – 19 mpg city/25 mpg highway*
• 2024 Kia Telluride AWD Fuel Economy – 18 mpg city/24 mpg highway

2024 Honda Pilot vs. Kia Telluride: Ride Quality

The base engines on the Honda Pilot and the Kia Telluride are actually very comparable — you will get a V6 in either SUV, with 285 hp and 291 hp, respectively. Both vehicles achieve 262 lb-ft of torque. Even though the Kia Telluride has the slightest edge in terms of horsepower, acceleration will feel much smoother in the Honda Pilot because it has a 10-speed automatic transmission, while the Kia Telluride only has an 8-speed. For smoother, more responsive drives around Jackson and on local highways, the 2024 Honda Pilot is a clear choice.

2024 Honda Pilot vs. Kia Telluride: Cargo Volume & 3rd-Row Dimensions

When you drive home in a Pilot or Telluride, you can seat up to eight passengers across three rows of seating. However, your third-row passengers will feel more comfortable in the Honda Pilot, with more headroom and legroom than the third row in the Kia Telluride. And if you don’t intend to use the third row very much and opt to keep it folded down most of the time, you’ll get more cargo space in the Honda Pilot. No matter your reasoning for wanting a 3-row SUV, the Honda Pilot helps you make the most of that decision:

2024 Honda Pilot Dimensions

• 3rd-Row Headroom – 39 inches
• 3rd-Row Legroom – 33 inches
