2016 Kia Sorento vs 2016 Honda Pilot
Serving St. Petersburg, Tampa, and Largo
Midsize SUVs are growing in popularity because they combine the features of a sport utility vehicle with the performance of a minivan, yet offer car-like handling for easier maneuverability. Midsize SUVs perform at a higher level than traditional SUVs with a lower center of gravity, providing both better fuel efficiency and rollover reduction. The 2016 Kia Sorento combines innovative technology with award-winning design to offer a crossover vehicle assembled in the US. Another offering in the midsize SUV category is the 2016 Honda Pilot. Both vehicles share a 5-star safety rating by the NHTSA, but let's see how they stack up in fuel economy, price and warranty.
Fuel Economy
According to Edmunds.com, the EPA mileage estimate for the base 2016 Kia Sorento is 21 city/29 highway compared to 19 city/27 highway for the base Honda Pilot. The 2016 Sorento offers better fuel economy for both city and highway driving, resulting in a lower annual fuel cost, saving money and the environment. In addition, the 2016 Kia Sorento was chosen by Autobytel.com as #6 on their list of Top 10 Best Gas Mileage SUVs. The Honda Pilot did not make the list.
Price
Since both the 2016 Kia Sorento and Honda Pilot are assembled in the US, both have similar destination charges. However, the Honda Pilot MSRP starts out higher than the Kia Sorento by over $5,000. The Honda Pilot's starting price is $29,995 for its base model LS. The 2016 Kia Sorento base model starts at $24,900. A lower price tag doesn't mean less features either, the Kia Sorento still offers plenty of features you'd like Bluetooth® and satellite radio.
Warranty
Kia has an impressive package with its warranty program. It consists of a 10-year/100,000-mile non-transferable powertrain warranty, a 5-year/60,000-mile limited basic warranty, a 5-year/100,000-mile limited anti-perforation warranty, and a 5-year/60,000-mile roadside assistance plan. According to KBB (Kelley Blue Book), the Honda Pilot is covered by the same powertrain warranty of 5 years or 60,000 miles, however it does not offer a non-transferable powertrain warranty. That means if you remain the original owner of a 2016 Kia Sorento for ten years, your powertrain is covered for 5 years longer than the original owner of a Honda Pilot.
For fuel ecomony, price and warranty, the 2016 Kia Sorento is superior to the Honda Pilot. Don't just take our word for it, Kia has the power to surprise with the sleek and strong 2016 Sorento. Come for a test drive and see for yourself why it is J.D. Power's choice for Highest Ranked Midsize SUV in Initial Quaility.
