Kia Sorento Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	0	I average about 22-25 miles/gallon, but only if I use a fuel addative every 5,000 miles. If not I get at best about 21miles/gallon. see full Kia Sorento review
2012	4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Average fuel economy at 22.5 MPG is lower than expected but still not bad. see full Kia Sorento review
2011	4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD	For a rather large crossover the fuel economy is absolutely amazing, check it out, it speaks for itself, and in the frist month we are getting exactly the rated efficiency, very pleased. see full Kia Sorento review

2011	4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Always want more MPG but it is at least 25% better than my 2006 Ford Explorer. After 15K miles of highway, city and occasionally pulling a 5'x10' trailer, I'm averaging exactly 20.9 MPG. see full Kia Sorento review
2011	4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I average 22 mpg in mosty city driving. Not bad for its size and weight. see full Kia Sorento review
2007	4dr SUV 262-horsepower 3.8L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	For a bulky and powerful SUV, it achieves a greater gas mileage than expected. see full Kia Sorento review

Kia Sorento Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Horrible fuel especially in stop and go traffic. I drive approximately 30 miles per day and within a week the take is nearly empty. see full Kia Sorento review
2012	4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	I expected the fuel economy to be somewhat better than 22.5 MPG. see full Kia Sorento review
2011	4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	my commute is very short and I am averaging 16mpg despite the 'eco'light being on, which sucks see full Kia Sorento review
2011	4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	About 20 to 25% less than EPA estimates see full Kia Sorento review
2011	4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The window sticker said it would get 29 mpg on the highway. I did a 500 mile trip and averaged 25 mpg. On my last 5 vehicles I averaged 2 to 3 mpg more than the window sticker when on the highway. Something is wrong with this picture. see full Kia Sorento review
2008	4dr SUV turbocharged 168hp 2.5L I4 Diesel 5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	Not been brave enough to calculate fuel economy yet, but my Audi A6 1.9tdi used to return 33mpg whilst towing. I doubt the Sorento will get near that even solo! see full Kia Sorento review
2005	4dr SUV 192-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	Getting 14-15 MPG out of a V6. Wish it were closer to 20 MPG. see full Kia Sorento review
2005	4dr SUV 192-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic RWD	Put simply "It sucks" see full Kia Sorento review
2005	4dr SUV 192-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	Not great but we knew that going in. I try to drive as economically as possible and can usually squeeze 18-19 mpg in mixed driving (70%/30% split between highway and local). see full Kia Sorento review
2003	4dr SUV 192-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic AWD w/low range	15MPG - not good see full Kia Sorento review

TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Honda Pilot

Honda Pilot Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2016	Aided by cylinder deactivation while cruising, the 2015 Honda Pilot's fuel economy figures were about average in the class: 18 MPG city, 25 MPG highway with front-wheel drive (FWD) and 17/24 with all-wheel drive (AWD). For 2016, a reduction in curb weight, an updated engine, and a sixth transmission ratio bump the ratings to 19/27 with FWD and 18/26 with AWD. The Touring and Elite trims include a nine-speed automatic that adds another MPG to the city ratings, tying the best-in-class Nissan Pathfinder. The Toyota Highlander doesn't even do as well with its base four-cylinder engine (20/25) and lags with its V6 (19/25 with FWD, 18/24 with AWD). In hybrid form the Highlander only has much of an edge in city driving (27/28). The Ford Explorer is competitive with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine (19/28 with FWD, 18/26 with AWD), but with a V6 falls well short of the Pilot's fuel efficiency. As do the GM crossovers. In my suburban driving the Pilot's trip computer typically reported low 20s but as high as 27.7. This is similar to the Pathfinder and a few MPG better than the Highlander. On a 70-MPH hgihway the trip computer reported an average of 26 MPG. see full Honda Pilot review

2012	4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	City fuel economy is lousy (average about 11 mpg), but our highway numbers are great for such a huge vehicle, particularly if we stay at 65 mph or slower. I've been able to sustain 29 mpg on a flat road at 55 mph. see full Honda Pilot review
2011	4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	When new, routinely 13L per 100 or worse, but improved after 1st oil change. Now at 10,000 Km, the gas mileage is around 11.6L per 100 in mixed driving. Gas mileage is VERY sensitive to wind direction. see full Honda Pilot review
