Pros & cons

Ford Equator ST

AWD adds traction for everyday routes
350 hp and 500 Nm make passing and merging easy
500 km range supports city weeks and weekend getaways
Five seats and a 450 L trunk handle daily family needs
Price of 55,000 won’t suit budget-focused buyers
0–100 km/h in 7.5 s may feel modest if you want a sportier feel
Winter driving is a weaker fit per our signals
450 L cargo can be tight for bulky road-trip gear

Honda Pilot Elite

500 km range from a 100 kWh battery supports longer drives and road trips
AWD traction and 4.5 s 0-100 km/h provide confident merging in mixed conditions
Practical 5-seat layout with a usable 500 L trunk for everyday family use
Strong output (600 hp, 800 Nm) makes highway travel relaxed even when loaded
Need seven seats or a third row; this model seats five only
Frequently carry bulky gear; 500 L cargo space may feel tight
Prioritize track-style handling; performance driving isn't its focus
High purchase price (85,000) may exceed budget
