Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Kia Sorento than in the Honda CR-V Hybrid, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Kia Sorento will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Honda CR-V Hybrid.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Honda CR-V Hybrid 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). Clearly, the Honda CR-V Hybrid is a better financial choice over the Kia Sorento, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
The Honda CR-V Hybrid is a little narrower than the Kia Sorento, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot. The Honda CR-V Hybrid is slightly shorter than the Kia Sorento, which may make it easier to park.

In terms of towing capacity, the Kia Sorento is clearly the choice over the Honda CR-V Hybrid for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Honda CR-V Hybrid has a lot less horsepower than the Kia Sorento.

Powertrain
The Honda CR-V Hybrid has much lower torque than the Kia Sorento, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
The Honda CR-V Hybrid has less seating than the Kia Sorento, making the Kia Sorento the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. You'll be able to fit about the same amount of groceries in the Honda CR-V Hybrid as you will in the Kia Sorento.
