If you’re in the market for a family car, you’ll want to take a look at the 2025 Honda Pilot and the 2025 Honda Odyssey. There are a few key differences between the two that you’ll want to keep in mind. Your local Honda dealership has put together a comprehensive comparison so you can decide which vehicle is the right one for you.
Performance and Fuel Economy
The Honda Pilot and Honda Odyssey have a few slight variations in performance and fuel economy. Most notably is the horsepower generated by each vehicle’s engine. While both base trims use a V6, the Pilot weighs in at 285 horsepower, while the Odyssey generates slightly less at 280. Both vehicles feature a 10-speed automatic transmission, but the Pilot also includes a 5-mode drive system that includes Normal, ECON, Snow, Tow, and Sport modes.
In terms of fuel economy, both the Pilot and the Odyssey rank in with the same combined 22 mpg for their base trims. The Odyssey gets slightly more on the highway (28 mpg vs. the Pilot’s 27 mpg), but both vehicles rank the same for the city.
Cargo Space
While both vehicles can seat up to seven passengers, the Odyssey has more total cargo volume. It measures in at 155.8 cu. ft. behind the first row of seats, whereas the Pilot measures in at 111.8 cu. ft.
Exterior Design and Style
The Pilot and the Odyssey each feature LED headlights, power sliding doors, power tailgates, and active shutter grilles. Both also have rear privacy glass and remote entry. The Odyssey, however, has Smart Entry with Walk Away Auto Lock for the entire vehicle, whereas the Pilot has it for the front doors and tailgate.
Technology and Entertainment
While the Pilot’s touchscreen is slightly smaller than the Odyssey’s (7 inches and 9, respectively), both cars come with HondaLink and SMS text message functionality. The Pilot contains 12-volt power outlets in the front console, while the Odyssey has additional ones in the 3rd row and cargo areas. Both vehicles support Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
