Whether you’re looking for everyday comfort or off-road capability, both the Kia Telluride and Honda Pilot have trim levels designed to match your needs. That said, the 2027 Kia Telluride lineup offers 10 unique configurations, a significant upgrade over the seven trims available on the Honda Pilot. See the full trim breakdown below:
For Manville drivers who want to take the road less traveled, the off-road-focused Telluride trims offer a clear edge. The Kia Telluride X-Pro configurations are built for off-road adventures, offering up to 9.1 inches of ground clearance. By comparison, the ground clearance for the off-road-focused Honda Pilot TrailSport trim tops out at 8.3 inches.
When comparing Kia Telluride vs. Honda Pilot specifications, it’s hard to miss the differences in towing capability. Every 2027 Kia Telluride trim can tow up to 5,000 pounds, regardless of drivetrain configuration. The 2026 Honda Pilot, meanwhile, is limited to 3,500 pounds with front-wheel drive and requires all-wheel drive to reach its 5,000-pound maximum. For drivers who tow boats, trailers, or recreational gear around the Middlesex area, the Telluride delivers consistent capability right from the base trim.
In addition to its superior customization and towing ability, the Kia Telluride offers more peace of mind with your purchase. The 2027 Kia Telluride comes backed by one of the most comprehensive warranty packages in its class, while the 2026 Honda Pilot offers a more standard coverage plan.
