2025 Honda CR-V vs 2025 Honda Pilot
Serving Chicago, IL
The 2025 Honda CR-V and the 2025 Pilot are stylish, well-equipped options for SUV shoppers to consider. While they are siblings in the Honda lineup, they are unique in many areas. For example, the CR-V is a two-row, compact crossover, while the Pilot is a three-row, midsize SUV. What are the other differences between these models that you should know about before making your final model selection?
Performance
The Honda CR-V is available with a turbo 1.5-liter, four-cylinder, 190-horsepower engine in the lower trim levels. Higher trims come with a hybrid 2.0-liter, four-cylinder, 204-horsepower system. Both engines have a continuously variable auto transmission. The Honda Pilot, on the other hand, is available with one powertrain across its six trim levels. This is a 3.5-liter, V6, 285-horsepower system. It pairs with a 10-speed auto transmission. All trims have optional or standard all-wheel drive.
Appearance
The CR-V has an enviable style with a staggered design on the grille's mesh and dramatically angled, LED-topped headlights. Both the sides and hood have pinstripe accents, and the sides are also accented by below-the-belt black molding. Conversely, the Pilot has a larger grille with a similar yet wider mesh pattern. The hood is flatly angled, and the sides are boldly accented with a raised element on the lower panel.
Features
If you choose to drive the 2025 Honda CR-V, you can enjoy features like ambient cabin lights, a Bose 12-speaker sound system, an integrated navigation system, and a heated steering wheel. More CR-V features include wireless smartphone app connections, a wireless charging pad, leather upholstery, low-speed auto braking, a blind-spot warning system, adaptive cruise control, a 7-inch touch display screen and other equipment. The 2025 Pilot has several of these features as well as heated seats in the first two rows, a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster, a heated windshield, a surround-view camera, a hands-free tailgate with auto close, a household power outlet, second-row captain's chairs, a wireless device charger, an intercom system, and additional features.
