2027 Honda Passport vs 2027 Kia Sorento: price, specs and what it costs in Frisco
Base trims, published figures from each brand’s own spec sheets. I show the starting price of both cars and the rows where the Passport comes out ahead; the Sorento wins rows of its own, and its full sheet is on Kia’s site. What I can add that a spec sheet can’t is what the Passport actually costs on our lot today.
| Honda Passport RTL | Sorento LX | |
|---|---|---|
| Starting MSRP | $45,195 | $32,590 |
| Horsepower | 280 hp | 186 hp |
| Torque | 258 lb-ft | 178 lb-ft |
| Towing capacity | 5,000 lb | 2,000 lb |
| Ground clearance | 8.3 in | 6.9 in |
MSRP excludes destination. Figures are each brand’s published base-trim numbers at the time of the last competitor refresh and can change with a model year.

What I’d do before choosing
Drive both, back to back, on the roads you actually use. Numbers settle the budget; the seat, the sightlines and the way it pulls away from a light settle the rest. If the Sorento turns out to be the better fit for you, I’ll say so. I’d rather you buy the right car.
