TCC’s Bottom Line

Subtle upgrades make the 2019 Honda Pilot a must-see for three-row crossover shoppers.

The 2019 Kia Sorento is a right-sized, well-priced three-row crossover SUV for those who can skimp a little on third-row space.

TCC Likes

Refined V-6 engine
Interior flexibility
Comfortable seats

Upmarket feel inside and out
Terrific ride quality
Responsive, natural steering

TCC Dislikes

No hybrid option
9-speed automatic can be jerky
Minivans still work best

Second row sits too low
Turbo-4 engine bites the dust for 2019
Don’t bother with the base engine
