Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Honda Pilot than in the Buick Envision, due to its greater head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Buick Envision and the Honda Pilot.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Buick Envision as you will with the Honda Pilot, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Clearly, the Buick Envision is a better financial choice over the Honda Pilot, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Buick Envision is much slimmer than the Honda Pilot, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Buick Envision, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Honda Pilot.

Handling
The Buick Envision has the same turning radius as the Honda Pilot, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Buick Envision has a lot less horsepower than the Honda Pilot.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Buick Envision does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Honda Pilot.

Utility
Soccer Moms beware - the Buick Envision seats a lot fewer people than the Honda Pilot. The Buick Envision has significantly less cargo capacity than the Honda Pilot.
