The new Honda Pilot MSRP is over $1,000 more than that of the new Nissan Pathfinder. But are you unlocking more features in the Pilot with that heftier price tag? Not exactly.

  • Second-row bench seats
  • EZ FLEX® Seating System featuring LATCH AND GLIDE® and 3rd-row 60/40-split fold-flat reclining bench seat
