Comparison Review

Comfort
The Honda CR-V Hybrid offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Kia Sorento Hybrid, with comparable head- and legroom. The Kia Sorento Hybrid 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
The Kia Sorento Hybrid requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Honda CR-V Hybrid, making it more convenient to drive.

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 CR-V Hybrid will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Kia Sorento Hybrid.

Dimensions
The Honda CR-V Hybrid is a little narrower than the Kia Sorento Hybrid, 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 Hybrid, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The Honda CR-V Hybrid has the same turning radius as the Kia Sorento Hybrid, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Honda CR-V Hybrid has a little less horsepower than the Kia Sorento Hybrid.

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

Utility
