Traverse vs Pilot: Space, Comfort & Cargo

The 2020 Chevy Traverse and the 2020 Honda Pilot can seat up to eight passengers. That’s where the similarities between the cabins of these two models stop, though.

The Pilot goes head to head with the Traverse in terms of legroom in the first and second rows: Both models offer roughly 41 inches in the first row and 38.4 inches in the second row. Passengers in the third row of the Pilot, though, will have some kinks and cramps to work out upon arrival with just 31.9 inches of legroom. The Traverse steps up with 33.5 inches of third-row legroom.

The Traverse doesn’t stop there, though. This model also offers more than 98 total cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded. The Pilot provides over 14 fewer cubic feet of cargo space with a measly total of 83.9 cubic feet with the rear seats folded.

Traverse vs Pilot: Performance & Capability

Under the hoods of both the Traverse and the Pilot, you’ll find a powerful V6 engine. When paired with the right equipment, these models can move up to 5,000 pounds of trailer weight. Additionally, you’ll be able to conquer all kinds of terrain in either model thanks to their drivetrain options.

The Traverse offers a Traction Mode Select system with four selectable drive modes, including fuel-efficiency-enhancing front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. The Pilot offers a similar system: Intelligent Traction Management.

While their engines are relatively similar in terms if functionality and capability, the Traverse gives you quite a bit more power with an output of 310 horsepower. The Pilot maxes out at 280 horsepower, resulting in a deflated level of excitement while you’re behind the wheel.

Traverse vs Pilot: Top-Notch Tech Features

In terms of tech, there are a few things that the 2020 Chevy Traverse and the 2020 Honda Pilot have in common. Both models offer available touchscreen infotainment systems with Bluetooth®, smartphone integration, navigation, and more.

Additionally, both models were designed to keep your family safe with comprehensive active safety suites. The specific features differ, but with either model, you’ll have your blind spot monitoring, lane keeping, and automatic braking bases covered.

In the end, the Traverse still has a leg up on the Pilot with several additional features. This model maximizes visibility with an available HD Surround Vision and an available Rear Camera Mirror. The latter turns the surface of the rearview mirror into a livestream of what’s going on behind you.

The Pilot can’t compete with these features. The best you’ll get with this model is an available Multi-Angle Rearview Camera, which cannot provide 360-degree coverage.
