Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Honda Pilot than in the Kia EV6. The Kia EV6 offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Honda Pilot, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

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). When looking only at MSRP, the Honda Pilot will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Kia EV6.

Dimensions
Since the Honda Pilot is much wider than the Kia EV6, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Honda Pilot, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Kia EV6.

Handling
The Honda Pilot has the same turning radius as the Kia EV6, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Honda Pilot is clearly the choice over the Kia EV6 for pulling heavy loads. The Honda Pilot has a little less horsepower than the Kia EV6.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Honda Pilot does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Kia EV6.

Utility
Soccer Moms and those who need to chauffeur around a lot of people will appreciate the Honda Pilot more than the Kia EV6, due to its significantly greater seating capacity. With the Honda Pilot, you'll be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Kia EV6.
