2019 Honda Pilot vs. 2020 Hyundai Palisade: Compare Crossovers

Aaron Cole Aaron Cole Managing Editor

Family shoppers would do well to consider the Hyundai Palisade and Honda Pilot crossovers when it’s time for a new car. 

Both are three-row crossovers from well-established automakers. While the Pilot has been available for years, the Palisade may be a new name unfamiliar to new shoppers. The Palisade follows roughly the same formula as Pilot: three rows of seats, a V-6, available all-wheel drive, and enough utility and cargo room to haul a starting lineup of junior basketballers.
