When searching for your next SUV, you know that you can turn to the Honda lineup for a variety of options, including the new Honda Pilot and CR-V. While both midsize models are capable of going on your adventures in Carmel and are spacious, they aren’t quite the same. At first glance, a notable difference between the Honda Pilot and CR-V is that the Pilot can be upgraded to seat up to 8 people while the CR-V maxes its seating capacity out at 5 people. However, the distinctions don’t stop there, so join Penske Honda below and find out other details to keep in mind as you explore the new Honda CR-V vs. Pilot!
Both SUVs are well worth their price tags, but you might have a budget that you want to follow for your next vehicle in Fishers. The CR-V starts at a lower MSRP for the entry-level model, but the cost shouldn’t be the only thing to consider. Here are the starting prices for both lineups:
Regardless of which model fits your lifestyle better, Penske Honda has rotating special offers to help you save on your purchase!
So what should I look at besides the price tag? For one, the performance of the new CR-V vs. Pilot appeals to certain priorities. The CR-V is more fuel-efficient than the Pilot, and you can expect to navigate the Westfield roads quickly and easily, especially compared to a 3rd-row Pilot. On the other hand, the Honda Pilot’s strong suit is sheer strength, providing nearly 100 hp more than the CR-V. While neither one is objectively better than the other, you will find either efficiency or powerful performance to be more important. See the specs for both base models below:

You should also consider the interior space. Again, how many people will you drive around on a daily basis? If you have a big family, you’re going to have to look at an upgraded Honda Pilot model. If not, you’re back to the initial Pilot vs. CR-V dilemma. Still, even when looking at models from both lineups that can seat up to 5 people, the Pilot offers extra passenger and cargo volume. This doesn’t make it better than the CR-V though– if you don’t need that much space, then you’ll be happy to know that the CR-V has an ample amount of space for all 5 people and your belongings as well!
