And speaking of safety, the Honda Passport comes equipped with a standard suite of Honda Sensing® Driver Assistive Features that will help you drive safer, whether you’re venturing off road or just driving through town.

While these two SUVs have some notable similarities, the 2023 Honda Passport truly stands out when you compare their differences. Both models can be equipped with powerful engines, but it’s worth noting that the Honda Passport comes standard with a 3.5-liter V6 engine, while you’d have to upgrade to a higher Kia Sorento trim to get that model’s 2.4-liter, 4-cylinder turbocharged engine option. The Honda Passport has the capability to tow a whopping 5,000 pounds, while the Kia Sorento can only haul 3,500 pounds, meaning the Honda is a better choice if you plan to tow a camper or large trailer with your new SUV.2,3 The two models are nearly tied when it comes to horsepower, and they both offer available hands-free power tailgates and available roof rails. But when it comes to interior comforts, the Honda Passport takes the lead again, offering standard heated, leather-trimmed front seats and tri-zone climate control. Although the Kia Sorento puts up a good fight, it just can’t compete with all the 2023 Honda Passport has to offer.
