The 2017 Honda Pilot comes in five trim levels: LX, EX, EX-L, Touring and Elite. Not only does the 2017 Pilot come with a higher starting MSRP than the 2017 Kia Sorento, but its EPA-estimated fuel economy rating is lower, it has a smaller cargo area, and its powertrain warranty and basic warranty are both significantly less impressive than what’s offered by the 2017 Sorento. Each trim is equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 engine that generates 280 horsepower, but drivers looking for a higher-power engine or a more fuel-efficient engine will have to look elsewhere, since no other engine option is available. All trims come standard with features such as Push Button Start, cruise control, 40/60 split, flat-folding third row bench seats, Bluetooth® streaming, and an auxiliary input jack. Standard safety features include Traction Control, the Anti-Lock Braking System, Electronic Brake Distribution, a multi-angle rearview camera, and the Tire Pressure Monitoring System.

The 2017 Kia Sorento comes in seven trim levels, already offering more customizability than the 2017 Honda Pilot. Trim levels include L, LX, LX V6, EX, EX V6, SX V6 and SXL V6. Three engine options are available, allowing drivers to choose the engine that best matches their needs and lifestyle. The L and LX trims come standard with a 2.4-liter inline 4-cylinder engine that produces 185 horsepower, the EX trim comes standard with a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline 4-cylinder engine that kicks out 240 horsepower, and the LX V6, EX V6, SX V6 and SXL V6 all come equipped with a 3.3-liter V6 engine that generates an impressive 290 horsepower. Standard features for all trim levels include a touchscreen audio display, Bluetooth® connectivity, a USB/Auxiliary input jack, 12-volt power outlets, power windows and door locks, keyless entry and cruise control. Standard safety features for all trim levels include a rollover sensor, the Anti-Lock Braking System, Vehicle Stability Management, Traction Control, Electronic Stability Control, Electronic Brake-force Distribution, Hill Start Assist Control, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System, and more.
