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,

Throughout 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 interiors, which help make lengthy

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

Even yet, it isn't quite evident that the Pilot is supreme.

After Honda introduced the third generation in 2016, the Telluride (and its mechanical twin, the Hyundai Palisade)

Both models will undergo a makeover for 2023 in the considerably more competitive mid-size SUV market.
