Traverse vs Pilot: Which Has Dynamic Capabilities?

Short Answer: The 2020 Chevy Traverse

When it comes to power equipment, the 2020 Chevy Traverse and the 2020 Honda Pilot seem relatively evenly matched with standard V6 engines and 9-speed automatic transmissions. Both have horsepower and torque ratings in the high 200s, resulting in a 5,000-pound towing capacity for both models when they’re properly equipped.

Both models also offer available all-wheel drive and selectable drive mode systems. With the Traverse, though, you’ll have a bit more flexibility in terms of which modes you’ll have.

In addition to Off-Road mode, the Traverse’s Traction Mode Select system offers a fuel-efficient Front-Wheel Drive mode that can be utilized when you’re just running errands or going to work. With the Pilot, you’ll have a handful of off-road ready modes, but no Front-Wheel Drive mode, meaning you’ll have to sacrifice either capability or fuel economy.

Traverse vs Pilot: Which Has More Interior Space?

Short Answer: The 2020 Chevy Traverse

Both the 2020 Chevy Traverse and the 2020 Honda Pilot offer seating for up to eight passengers with a 7-passenger option available. The latter option comes with second-row captain’s chairs for extra wiggle room in this row.

Everything about this model’s interior is larger than life, with dimensions geared toward passenger comfort and big adventures. See how it compares to the Honda Pilot’s relatively cramped interior based on these dimensions:

	Chevy Traverse	Honda Pilot
1^st-/2^nd-/3^rd-Row Headroom	41.3 / 40 / 38.2 inches	40.1 / 40.2 / 38.9 inches
1^st-/2^nd-/3^rd-Row Legroom	41 / 38.4 / 33.5 inches	40.9 / 38.4 / 31.9 inches
1^st-/2^nd-/3^rd-Row Shoulder Room	62.1 / 62.2 / 57.5 inches	62 / 62 / 57.6 inches
Maximum Cargo Space	98.2 total cubic feet	83.9 total cubic feet

As you can see, the Pilot falls behind in terms of passenger space and especially in terms of cargo where it falls behind by over 14 cubic feet.
