Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat may find themselves a little more cramped in the Honda Passport than the Kia Sorento. The Kia Sorento offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Honda Passport, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Honda Passport as you will with the Kia Sorento, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Honda Passport is somewhat more expensive than the Kia Sorento.

Dimensions
Since the Honda Passport is much wider than the Kia Sorento, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. When looking at overall length, the Honda Passport takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Kia Sorento.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Honda Passport is clearly the choice over the Kia Sorento for pulling heavy loads. In terms of horsepower, it's a virtual tie between the Honda Passport and the Kia Sorento.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Honda Passport doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Kia Sorento.

Utility
The Honda Passport has less seating than the Kia Sorento, making the Kia Sorento the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. With the Honda Passport, you'll be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Kia Sorento.
