2022 Kia Sorento Overview

The crossover is by far the most popular vehicle type in America, and drivers in the market to purchase or lease a new CUV have many compelling options to choose from. Among the most popular is the Kia Sorento, which features standard 5+2 seating and many technologies and amenities in the base package. Since the Sorento received a complete makeover just a year ago, the updates for the 2022 Kia Sorento now available at Arapahoe Kia are mainly refinements to the standard and optional equipment. Another very popular nameplate in this segment is the Honda CR-V, and in that spirit, let us compare the 2022 Kia Sorento vs 2022 Honda CR-V with a focus on which model will be the best choice for you.

Centennial CO - 2022 Kia Sorento's Overview

Exterior - Kia Dealer serving Centennial CO

The 2022 Honda CR-V is a small crossover. The 2022 Kia Sorento is a midsize crossover but at the smaller end of that range. The Sorento has a 110.8-inch wheelbase and a 6.9-inch minimum ground clearance, and it measures 189.0 inches in total length. The CR-V has a 104.7-inch wheelbase and a 7.8-inch minimum ground clearance, and it measures 182.1 inches in total length. The Kia model is a bit wider—74.8 vs 73.0 inches—and a smidge taller: 66.7 vs 66.5 inches. In both cases, 17-inch aluminum wheels are standard, and wheel sizes as large as 20 inches are available. Kia only requires that you step up one trim level for features like remote engine start, keyless entry and roof rails. Honda offers similar options as well, but they tend to be added at a higher price point than is the case with the Sorento.

One of the big advantages of choosing the 2022 Kia Sorento is that it comes standard with 5+2 seating, and you have the option of bucket seats in the second row, which results in a 4+2 layout. The 2022 Honda CR-V is a five-passenger vehicle, and there are no seating options. When the third row is not needed in the Sorento, it is easy to remove, and that opens up 39 cubic feet of passenger volume, which is the same amount of space that you will find in the Honda model. Another advantage of the Sorento is that it provides more than an inch of additional legroom in both the first and second row.

Kia Sorento Mechanical specs

All CR-V models have the same powertrain. Honda pairs a continuously variable transmission to a turbocharged 1.5L four-cylinder engine that delivers 190 horsepower and 179 pound-feet of torque. Kia offers two powertrains. The LX and S models have an eight-speed automatic transmission and a 2.5L four-cylinder engine that makes 191 hp and 181 lb.-ft. Drivers who want more performance can opt for the EX or a higher trim level. Those models have an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and a turbocharged 2.5L four-cylinder that delivers 281 hp and 311 lb.-ft. Trailering equipment is available for both models, but the CR-V is limited to towing 1,500 pounds. The base Sorento, on the other hand, can tow up to 2,500 pounds, and models with the turbo engine can tow up to 3,500 pounds.

One thing that stands out about the CR-V for consumers considering the base model is that it only has a basic 5.0-inch display. The upper trims have a 7.0-inch infotainment touchscreen, but Car and Driver magazine feels that “Honda’s frustrating infotainment system” is a disappointment. In contrast, the Uvo infotainment system has received a great deal of praise from automotive journalists. In addition, Kia gives its base model a sophisticated 8.0-inch touchscreen with features like wireless Android and Apple device support. The SX model boasts a 10.3-inch touchscreen and integrated navigation. Both automakers include a broad and refined collection of driver-assistance technologies. However, there is tech included with the SX Prestige that you will not find on the Honda, such as rear automatic braking.
