The Pilot comes close but can’t quite match that level of efficiency with its EPA rating of 20 mpg city/24 mpg hwy/22 mpg combined.

The Sorento also has earned a 5 Star Safety Rating in the critical NHTSA Front Driver Crash Test, while the Pilot was awarded only 4 Stars. That’s an important consideration for Flowood area families.

Passenger Volume and Towing Capacity

One reason you’re shopping for an SUV is to have enough room for all members of your family to travel comfortably. The maximum passenger volume of the Honda Pilot is 144.9 cubic feet, while the Sorento offers a roomier 154.2 cubic feet.

If you’re looking for a vehicle that can tow a small trailer or boat on outings around Ridgeland, you’ll be pleased with the 2,000 pound standard Kia Sorento towing capacity.  Upgrade to one of the more powerful Sorento configurations, and you’ll be able to pull up to 3,500 pounds! The Pilot can only tow up to 1,500 pounds.
