2024 Toyota Grand Highlander vs 2024 Honda Pilot | Toyota
– [Announcer] The 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander versus the 2024 Honda Pilot. Let’s learn a bit more about these mid-size SUVs. Grand Highlander’s expansive interior offers seating for up to eight while simultaneously fitting up to seven carry-on size suitcases. Every row offers mobile device charging
And easy entry or exit into the adult-sized third row. Two available electrified powertrains ensure there’s a Grand Highlander for every type of driver. Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 makes cutting edge driver assistance and active safety features standard across the lineup. Now let’s put Grand Highlander and Pilot side by side. All new for 2024, Grand Highlander is available in three grades: XLE, Limited and Platinum. Grand Highlander’s XLE and Limited grades can be equipped with the highly efficient Toyota hybrid system, which has an impressive EPA estimated rating of up to 36 miles per gallon combined. While the powerful Hybrid MAX electric system
Can be had on Limited or Platinum. Pilot is available in six grades, including the off-road oriented TrailSport. However, Pilot can’t answer Grand Highlander’s hybrid variants. There are simply no hybrids in its lineup. Grand Highlander’s refined exterior is accentuated with standard LED exterior lighting, giving it a bold and chiseled look. This visual appeal is enhanced even further by a black painted front grill, silver colored roof rails and available 20-inch alloy wheels. The lineup’s Hybrid MAX electric vehicles are distinguished by their dual exhaust,
Silver colored lower bumpers, and gray painted front grill. Pilot also gets standard LED exterior lighting and available 20-inch alloy wheels. TrailSport is distinguished by its increased ground clearance, underbody skid plates, and front and rear recovery points. Finally, a grill painted in gloss black is included on TrailSport, Touring and Elite grades. Boasting a spacious interior with seating for up to eight, Grand Highlander offers plenty of practicality and style. Its available second row captain’s chairs maximize passenger comfort while available heated and ventilated front and second row outboard seats add even greater comfort for every journey. Best of all entering and exiting
Grand Highlander’s adult-sized easy access third row is a breeze thanks to an entry handle, a palm rest and a flat step on the second row floor, making it even more family friendly. Two available 120-volt inverters ensure that electronics stay powered during road trips. And finally, Grand Highlander’s cargo capacity
Of 97.5 cubic feet behind the first row and 57.9 cubic feet behind the second row. What’s more, Grand Highlander has seating for up to eight with all rows in place, and enough space in the back for up to seven carry-on sized bags, resulting in room for everyone and all of their gear.
Depending on the grade, Pilot can seat up to eight or be equipped with second row captain’s chairs. Heated and ventilated front seats and heated outboard second row seats are available, but only on the Elite grade. Similarly, a 110-volt power outlet is available only on select Pilot grades. And in terms of cargo space,
Pilot can’t match Grand Highlander at only 87 cubic feet behind the first row and 48.5 cubic feet behind the second row. The 2024 Grand Highlander comes standard with the latest Toyota audio multimedia system and a 12.3-inch touchscreen. This includes standard wireless compatibility for Apple CarPlay, which connects drivers to the apps on their iPhone, including maps, messages, podcasts, and music subscriptions. In addition, wireless Android Auto compatibility
Makes it easy to stay connected to Android devices and access various apps and services from Google, including YouTube Music and Google Maps. Plus there’s a standard three month SiriusXM Platinum plan trial subscription that includes over 165 channels available in cabin and even more on the SiriusXM mobile app,
Making it easier than ever to enjoy not just ad free music, but also sports, comedy and more. Additionally, an available 11-speaker JBL Premium Audio system plays road trip Tunes with stunning clarity, and an available 12.3-inch digital multi-information display, as well as an available-10 inch head up display puts essential information
Right in the driver’s line of sight. Grand Highlander also works seamlessly with Toyota’s available connected services and includes trials to Safety Connect, Service Connect, Remote Connect, Drive Connect, and Wi-Fi Connect. Finally, standard Qi-compatible wireless charging pad and seven USB ports spread across all three rows keep mobile devices ready for those long journeys.
Pilot uses Honda’s latest multimedia interface, which features a standard seven-inch touchscreen on LX and Sport, or a larger nine-inch touchscreen on the EXL grade and up. However, while Pilot offers Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, they only gain wireless capability with the larger screen option. Additionally, the available
12-speaker Bose premium audio system is exclusive to the Touring and Elite Grades while the available 10.2-inch driver information interface screen is only available on Elite. When it comes to keeping mobile devices charged, Pilot’s EXL grade and higher comes standard with Qi-compatible wireless charging. However, its number of USB ports
Falls short of Grand Highlander at only four ports on the LX and Sport grades or six on the EXL and up. Grand Highlander Features Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 as standard. This includes Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Automatic High Beams, Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Tracing Assist, Roadside Assist, and Proactive Driving Assist. Additionally, every grade has Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert as standard
For added convenience. The Platinum grade also comes standard with Traffic Jam Assist, which requires an active Drive Connect trial or subscription to use. When driving on a controlled access freeway with Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control and Lane Tracing Assist activated, Traffic Jam Assist helps navigate
Stop and go highway traffic to take the stress out of a traffic jam by providing acceleration, braking and hands-free steering control under active supervision of the driver. Select grades can be equipped with a Panoramic View Monitor for a 360 degree view of objects and obstacles around the vehicle.
Plus available Front and Rear Parking Assist with Automatic Braking makes maneuvering in tight spaces even easier. Every Pilot comes standard with Honda Sensing, which includes similar technologies to Toyota Safety Sense. However, its Blind Spot Information System and Cross Traffic Monitor is available on the Sport grade and up.
The multi-view camera system is available only on TrailSport and Elite while front and rear parking sensors are limited to the EXL grade and higher. Grand Highlander’s gas grades are powered by a capable turbocharged four cylinder engine, which makes 265 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. On the other hand, the Grand Highlander Hybrid electric vehicles are powered by an efficient 2.5 liter four cylinder hybrid electric system with 245 net combined horsepower.
At the top of the powertrain lineup is the Hybrid Max Electric powertrain. This performance oriented hybrid electric setup features a 2.4 liter turbocharged four cylinder engine coupled to an electric motor and a six speed automatic transmission, resulting in 362 net combined horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. For additional traction,
Grand Highlander is offered with three all-wheel drive systems. Dynamic torque control all-wheel drive is available on gas grades while Grand Highlander hybrid electric vehicles can be equipped with electronic on demand all-wheel drive. On the other hand, full-time electronic all-wheel drive comes standard on models equipped with the Hybrid Max electric system.
When it comes to towing, Hybrid XLE and Hybrid Limited grades are capable of pulling 3,500 pounds while gas and Hybrid MAX electric vehicles are rated to tow 5,000 pounds. What’s more, Grand Highlander is remarkably efficient with up to an EPA estimated 24 miles per gallon combined on gas grades
Or an EPA estimated 27 miles per gallon combined when powered by the Hybrid MAX Electric System. Finally, Grand Highlander Hybrid electric vehicles powered by the 2.5 liter Hybrid Electric powertrain are rated up to an EPA estimated 36 miles per gallon combined.

Every new Grand Highlander comes with ToyotaCare, which provides two years or 25,000 miles of scheduled maintenance, whichever comes first, as well as two years and unlimited mileage, 24-hour roadside assistance. Grand Highlander’s electrified variants also include a hybrid system warranty that covers select components for eight years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first,
