Comparison Review

Comfort
The GMC Acadia offers a bit more room for passengers in the back seat than the Honda Pilot. The GMC Acadia will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Honda Pilot.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the GMC Acadia 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). The GMC Acadia is somewhat more expensive than the Honda Pilot.

Dimensions
The GMC Acadia is a little wider than the Honda Pilot, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the GMC Acadia, which is slightly longer than the Honda Pilot.

Handling
The GMC Acadia has a larger turning radius than the Honda Pilot, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The GMC Acadia has a little more horsepower than the Honda Pilot.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the GMC Acadia transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Honda Pilot.

Utility
The GMC Acadia has less seating than the Honda Pilot, making the Honda Pilot the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. The GMC Acadia has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Honda Pilot.
