2024 Honda Pilot vs 2024 Kia Sorento in Augusta, GA

2024 Honda Pilot vs 2024 Kia Sorento in Augusta, GA

2024 Honda Pilot TrailSport shown in Platinum White Pearl with accessory crossbars.

While it might seem like a good idea to get behind the wheel of the 2024 Kia Sorento, you will definitely be missing out on a number of features that the 2024 Honda Pilot can provide. Continue reading to see how these three-row midsize SUVs compare, then come to the Gerald Jones Honda location to see the latter model in action.

Performance

A deciding factor that you must consider when weighing your vehicular options is how two cars perform. Fortunately, we've got the inside scoop by informing you that the 2024 Pilot utilizes a standard 3.5L V6 engine to produce 285 horsepower1 and 262 lb.-ft. of torque2. This system is included on each trim level, but you'd have to upgrade your 2024 Sorento to gain access to their optional 2.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder powertrain. Even so, you will only be able to navigate your travels in Augusta with 281 horsepower and 311 lb.-ft. of torque. The Pilot takes another win by flaunting a 5,000-lb. maximum towing capacity3, while the Sorento can muster up a 4,500-lb. top trailer rate4 on a single trim. To seal the deal, we'd like to note that the Honda SUV includes up to six drive modes, whereas the Kia alternative maxes out at five variations.

Interior

With midsize SUVs, a quality cabin is a must. That's why we'd also like to compare the interiors of the 2024 Honda Pilot and 2024 Kia Sorento. The former offers up to seating for eight, so you won't have to leave anyone behind when you take a trip to Alice Pond. If you settle for the Sorento, you'll only have room for six to seven, depending on the trim level you choose. If those in the middle and rear have a different temperature preference than you and your copilot, the Pilot is the model to drive! That's because it comes standard with a tri-zone automatic climate control system, which accommodates you, your copilot, and back-row occupants. The Sorento does offer some variation in the form of a dual-zone setup, which is only available on select editions. Lastly, if you are packing for a solo trip, you'll appreciate the Pilot's 111.8 cubic ft. of maximum cargo volume5. You may find yourself somewhat disappointed with the Sorento, since it has 75.5 cubic ft. of storage room.

Technology

Lastly, we'd like to touch on the superior innovations that the Honda Pilot brings to the table. To be aware of key vehicle information without actually glancing down at your speedometer or tachometer, spring for the available Head-Up Display. This feature will project certain details right onto the windshield for a stress-free commute down Augusta Parkway. With the optional Multi-Zone audio feature, you'll be able to jam out to your favorite tunes while your guests can enjoy some peace and quiet on longer trips. In that same respect, if you need to relay information, do so without shouting, since the CabinTalk® In-Car PA System is optional. If you're still curious about the Kia Sorento, our team is here to inform you that it doesn't offer any of the aforementioned technologies.

Great experience. Was running late so rep worked around and got me in within short period. Diagnosis was found quickly, part was ordered, and I was able to get out in timely fashion. Part was ordered, was available and is on its way from Atlanta. Rich Wallace.

Wonderful service for repairs! Quick, easy to set appointment, fast delivery with appointment, friendly staff right in the door, honest. I like that they only care about safety with the vehicles and not trying to roll anyone over for expensive repairs. They offered a lady in the waiting room next to me a car for the weekend since her vehicle needed extensive work. Great job all that work there.

We went to the lot at what we thought was " after hours" because we did not want to be "bothered with salespeople" as we looked initially. We still encountered salespeople but to our surprise when we said we would like to just look on our own and later when we got serious at buying, they were not pushy! This was very important to us. They were all very helpful, knowledgeable and when they found that they did not have the exact car I wanted on the lot, they went in search of one for me. The deal was awesome. I highly recommend Gerald Jones Honda.

My first Honda came from Gerald Jones Honda in 1985. I moved away not long after that, purchased several cars over the last 33 years, returned “home” last year and just bought my 5th Honda at Gerald Jones Honda! I can honestly say this was one of the best car buying experiences I have had over the years. Cam Griffin brought several cars to me at work to allow me to try different trim levels on my own. He made me laugh throughout the process and made it an awesome purchasing experience. I’m glad to have renewed my relationship with the great people at Gerald Jones Honda and look forward to many years of Honda care with them.

Our car buying experience with Gerald Jones Honda and particularly Allen Baer was great today. We’ve purchased many cars with Allen and would strongly recommend him to anyone! He’s very patient and thorough - as an example - he took notice of the temp setting in my old car and made sure to set it to the same temp in the new car before gettin g in it to drive off the lot. Allen took time to connect on a personal level - asking about family members and work, making it feel like we were doing business with a friend. The sales manager Monty was also instrumental in making this experience a good one. We hope to continue to do business with Gerald Jones
