Performance

As a compact crossover, the 2021 CR-V is an elegant yet powerful vehicle that is fun to drive. Across all four trims, the CR-V is available with a 190-horsepower, turbo I-4 engine. The top three trims are also available with a hybrid powertrain that produces 143 net horsepower. On the other hand, the 2021 Honda Pilot is a midsize crossover that offers three rows in its spacious cabin. All six of its trim levels are outfitted with the same 280-horsepower V6 gas engine.

Appearance

With similarities between the grille designs and other features for these Honda crossovers, they are related. However, the CR-V’s approach toward styling is defined by a sporty, sharp angle down the hood and chrome-on-black lower-body accents. The thin grille displays a single chrome bar that dips down on the sides as it underscores the slanted headlamps. The Pilot’s body is noticeably more extensive than the CR-V, and it has a stronger definition across the sides. While the 2021 Pilot also has chrome-on-black accents, these accents are less prominent. Also, the grille has two chrome bars that both reach toward the headlights.

Features

The majority of the features in the CR-V are also available in the Pilot at various trims. Both models come with cloth seats, a split-folding design for the rear seatbacks, and Honda Sensing® equipment. Other premium features in both Honda models for 2021 include Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a navigation system, a heated steering wheel, a wireless charging platform, leather seating, a power liftgate, and numerous other features.
