Meanwhile, Honda vehicles are only covered by a 3-year or 36,000-mile limited warranty, plus a 5-year or 60,000-mile powertrain limited warranty. There are also many differences between each of the brands’ models.

Despite our complete confidence in the Kia brand, we understand that choosing between these two may be challenging given their widespread appeal.
