Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Kia Telluride than in the Honda Passport, due to its greater head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Honda Passport and the Kia Telluride.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Honda Passport as you will with the Kia Telluride, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

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). The Honda Passport is somewhat more expensive than the Kia Telluride.

Dimensions
The Honda Passport is a little wider than the Kia Telluride, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. The Honda Passport is slightly shorter than the Kia Telluride, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The Honda Passport has the same turning radius as the Kia Telluride, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
If you've got something you need to pull, the Honda Passport will do just as well as the Kia Telluride, since they have about the same towing capacity. In terms of horsepower, it's a virtual tie between the Honda Passport and the Kia Telluride.

Powertrain
With similar torque, the Honda Passport and the Kia Telluride are about even in transmitting their respective horsepower to the wheels.

Utility
The Honda Passport has less seating than the Kia Telluride, making the Kia Telluride the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. You'll be able to fit about the same amount of groceries in the Honda Passport as you will in the Kia Telluride.
