Performance and Utility: Nissan vs. Honda

When one is comparing SUV models, two big things come up often in our discussions with customers. They’re looking for capability and performance in a way that can meet their evolving needs. Let’s see how Nissan vs. Honda compare on those fronts:

  • Engine & Towing: The Pathfinder features a 284-hp 3.5L V6, while the Pilot utilizes a 280 hp 3.5L V6. While close, the Pathfinder is able to tow much more than its competitor: 6,000 vs. 3,500 pounds.
  • Fuel Economy: With the abrupt changes in fuel prices in recent years, fuel economy savings are important. The new Pathfinder proves superior with a 27 MPG highway estimate. Great for those long drives away from Gardena!
  • Features: Standard roof rails are only available on the new Nissan Pathfinder, offering flexible cargo solutions. Roof rails also provide you with the option to attach the equipment you’ll be needing for outdoor adventures, including a bike rack, a kayak rack, or a ski rack. You will have to upgrade to access similar potential in the newest Honda Pilot trim levels.

Driving Convenience: Nissan vs. Honda

Whether it’s driving to work in Gardena, taking your family to the movies in Torrance or those oh-so-rare restaurant date nights in Carson, there’s some key things you want. For SUV owners, it’s comfort, tech features and convenience, all of which provide their own benefits. Let’s see how Nissan vs. Honda SUVs stack up below:

  • Since 2020, every Nissan Pathfinder trim features a standard Tri-Zone Automatic Temperature Control System, which gives the driver, the front passenger, and the rear rows the option to exist within their own respective climate zones and set their own temperature preferences. The Base model Pilot SUVs only provide a manual, single-zone climate control system as standard.
  • For those considering the new Nissan Pathfinder, they offer a standard Rear Sonar System to complement its standard Rearview Monitor. This allows for easier parking when trying to find a spot on Compton errands. In contrast, the Honda Pilot offers a standard rearview camera.
