Performance & Capabilities

Both the 2024 Mazda CX-90 and Honda Pilot are capable of exploring the great outdoors with ease, but the Mazda CX-90 provides a more thrilling experience and additional features. The Honda Pilot comes with a V6 engine that produces 285 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, while the Mazda model offers an available e-SKYACTIV®-G 3.3-liter Turbo inline-six that produces up to 340 horsepower alongside 369 lb-ft of torque. 
The Mazda CX-90 wins out with its turbocharged capabilities that give you more torque and control when the terrain gets increasingly difficult. While AWD is available in some trim levels of the Honda Pilot, the Mazda CX-90 has standard rear-biased i-ACTIV AWD® on all models, so you’ll get enhanced traction on difficult roads no matter which trim you choose.

Interior Showdown

While both models offer a spacious, three-row interior, the Mazda CX-90 offers enhanced elegance and luxury. The base model has a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, along with leatherette-trimmed seats. Upper trims feature premium Nappa leather that utilizes Japanese crafting techniques for a more luxurious feeling. In the Honda Pilot, cloth seating comes standard. 
The Honda Pilot has a seven-inch touchscreen that doesn’t match up to the standard 10.25-inch or available 12.3-inch full-color center display on the Mazda CX-90. In terms of safety features, the Mazda CX-90 also offers Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Traffic Alert as standard. In the Honda Pilot, the Blind Spot Information System and Cross Traffic Monitor are not included in the base trim.
