From the morning drive to school to the weekend adventure on the open road, the 2026 Honda Pilot features everything your family needs. This three-row SUV offers impressive all-weather and off-road capability alongside family-friendly technology that helps it stand apart from competitors like the 2027 Chevrolet Traverse. Compare these features for yourself at Ottawa Honda.

Capable Performance

Unlike the available all-wheel drive system for the 2027 Chevrolet Traverse, the 2026 Honda Pilot is ready for icy and snowy paths. The available i-VTM4® AWD system for the Honda SUV actively monitors performance and adjusts power delivery on the fly, delivering up to 70 percent to the rear axle. That means more control when an Illinois winter storm hits or when you’re heading off-road.

Flexible Seating

Both models can seat up to eight passengers, but the 2026 Honda Pilot offers features that keep everyone organized. The available multi-function second row includes a removable middle seat, giving you the flexibility to switch between eight-passenger seating and easier access through the second row, perfect for long drives. You can also project your voice to all three rows with CabinTalk®, a feature you can’t find on the 2027 Chevrolet Traverse.

Tech that Centers You

When you have a crowded cabin, the 2026 Honda Pilot features technology that keeps you focused on the road. The available Head-Up Display projects key driving information directly onto the windshield, so you can track your speed and watch for safety alerts without taking your eyes off the road. It’s just what you need with six passengers on board, and it’s unavailable on the 2027 Chevrolet Traverse.
