As you can see from the comparison chart above, the 2022 Kia Telluride has a slight horsepower advantage over the 2022 Honda Pilot owing to its more powerful 3.8L V6 engine compared to the Pilot's 3.5L V6 mill. However, the torque output of both these three-row SUVs is identical, and since both the SUVs offer similar torque figures, they offer similar performance, especially when off-roading. That said, the Honda Pilot offers a slight advantage over the Kia Telluride when it comes to driving dynamics, thanks to its smooth, quick-shifting 9-speed automatic transmission versus the Telluride's 8-speed automatic.   

The Honda Pilot is also the more fuel-efficient SUV of the two, offering an estimated fuel economy of less than 12.4 L/100km in the city and 9.3 L/100km on the highway compared to the Kia Telluride, which consumes 12.7 L/100km in the city and 9.7 L/100km on highways.  

In terms of comfort and interior spaciousness, the 2022 Honda Pilot offers up to comfortable seating for up to eight passengers, while the 2022 Kia Telluride is a seven-seater SUV. The Pilot's roomy cabin offers a massive 3,092 litres of cargo space behind the first-row seats and 1583 litres behind the second row - numbers the 2022 Kia Telluride simply cannot match.  

The Honda Pilot also brings several high-tech features like a standard 8-inch touchscreen infotainment display, Android Auto™, Apple CarPlay®, and LED headlights on all trims. 

When it comes to safety, too, the 2022 Honda Pilot has the edge over the 2022 Kia Telluride with the standard Honda Sensing safety suite offering several intelligent safety and driver-assistance features, including:  

  • Collision Mitigation Braking System™  
  • Forward Collision Warning   
  • Lane Departure Warning  
  • Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) system  
  • Hill Start Assist   
  • Trailer Stability Assist  
  • Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®) with Traction Control
