Honda Pilot vs. Chevy Traverse: Convenience & Comfort 

Besides saving gas money on constant commuting, you might be wondering how comfortable and convenient these SUVs are on longer rides. Driving with 8 passengers can sometimes get chaotic, especially when you’ve been on the roads for a while and someone’s getting restless. While both of these Honda and Chevy SUVs offer a suite of interior features, the 2022 Honda Pilot ultimately offers more convenience and comfort features already at its base trim, so you don’t need to upgrade and pay more to enjoy what is much needed driving 8 passengers around! 

From the standard leather seating in the base trim to keep everyone comfy and happy to the HondaLink® app where you can control and oversee information for your SUV, the Pilot features make it easy to navigate this important yet challenging task.
