Pilot vs. Pathfinder: Safety Technology

Look at models across the latest Honda lineup and you’ll find state of the art safety technology fitted as standard more often than not. As such, you shouldn’t be surprised to see the 2021 Honda Pilot providing the following driver assistance safety technologies with all trim levels:

• Adaptive Cruise Control
• Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
• Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM)

With the Nissan Pathfinder, those features either aren’t available or require picking a higher and pricier trim level than the standard model.
