Searching for a brand-new vehicle with three rows of seats and space for the whole family? At Basney Honda in Mishawaka, we proudly carry the full new inventory of Honda models, and we can help you find the best three-row model for your needs, with two great options currently available – the 2023 Honda Pilot and the 2023 Honda Odyssey.
Both of these impeccably crafted Honda models seat up to eight people in three rows, and both offer renowned Honda quality that Goshen and Granger, IN drivers count on. For help choosing the best fit for your Indiana drives, we've highlighted several key areas for you here and compared them side by side.
2023 Honda Pilot vs. 2023 Honda Odyssey
- Ground clearance. Depending on your preference, the ground clearance of these two models may be your deciding factor. One thing that drivers love about the minivan style is that it's close to the ground, making it easier for little legs to climb in and out of. Conversely, a higher ground clearance is also what many people prefer about SUVs, which means choosing the best for your needs comes down to personal preference. In this case, the 2023 Honda Pilot has a ground clearance of 7.3 inches, while the 2023 Honda Odyssey is 4.5 inches off the ground.
- Rear door design. A key characteristic and defining trait of the minivan style is its sliding rear doors. These open wide, making it easier to load and unload bulky objects, children, and car seats. It also helps to make sure that little hands don't throw the doors open in crowded lots and accidentally smack into nearby parked vehicles. Depending on how you feel about the sliding rear doors, the 2023 Honda Odyssey or the 2023 Honda Pilot with its traditional backdoors might work better for you.
- Towing and utility. Have a small camper or boat to tow with you on fun family weekend adventures? The 2023 Honda Pilot can tow up to 5,000 pounds, while the 2023 Honda Odyssey has a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds. This difference can make your decision easier, depending on what you're looking for in a three-row vehicle.
