Performance

Both of these models come standard with a V6 engine, and it's the only engine offered in each, but performance is about more than just raw horsepower, although the Hyundai Santa Fe does hold the advantage in this regard. To ensure a smooth, stress-free drive whether you're heading to work or making use of the 5,000-pound towing capacity, the Hyundai Santa Fe uses a lighter, nimbler design than the Honda Pilot, and it comes with engineering facets, like Downhill Brake Control, that the Pilot does not. Whether its thrills or comfort you're looking for, you'll find it in the Hyundai Santa Fe.

Safety

A 2018 Top Safety Pick+ of the IIHS, it's easy to see how the 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe earned this prestigious honor, which the Honda Pilot didn't earn. Advanced safety features like blind spot detection and rear cross traffic alert are available on every trim level while the Honda Pilot hides them on the priciest trim, and only the Santa Fe is available with headlights that use a Dynamic Bending Light system to illuminate the road around corners better.

Features

Convenience is one of the main focuses of the Hyundai Santa Fe, and that shows on every model as it comes standard with features like a USB port for the third row, Apple CarPlay, heated exterior mirrors, and stain-resistant seats, which you won't find on the base Honda Pilot. More than that, every Hyundai Santa Fe is available with newer features like an auto-dimming rearview mirror and hands-free smart liftgate, which, again, North Baltimore car shoppers won't find on lower trim levels of the Honda Pilot.
