If you’re looking for a new SUV to take your St Louis commute to new heights, Suntrup Kia South is here to help! We’re proud to offer a full lineup of new and pre-owned Kia models to suit just about every lifestyle and budget. Two of the best models you can find right now are the 2022 Kia Sorento and the Kia Sportage, which was just updated for the 2023 model year! These are both great models with a lot to offer, but only one will ultimately best suit your unique driving needs. To help you as you search for your next ride, Suntrup Kia South has put together a guide comparing the Kia Sportage vs. Sorento below. Check it out, then peruse our inventory to see what we have available!
One of the most important ways we can compare the Kia Sorento vs. Kia Sportage is in their respective sizes. The Kia Sportage is a two-row compact SUV, making it easy to navigate around tight corners and into narrow parking spots, while the Kia Sorento is a three-row midsize SUV with more space for passengers and cargo. Here are all the relevant dimensions:
If you’re looking for powerful performance on the Jefferson County roads, you’re in luck–the Kia Sorento and Kia Sportage both offer impressive engines under the hood! They both come with a standard engine and an available upgrade, with the Sportage offering an available hybrid powertrain if you want to really maximize your fuel efficiency. The Sorento takes the lead in terms of performance specs with an available 2.5L Turbo Inline-4 engine that delivers 281 horsepower, but the Sportage gamely keeps up with 226 horsepower for its Turbo-Hybrid offering.
Safety is often one of the most important factors that drivers consider when shopping for a new SUV, particularly those who will be using it as a family vehicle. Luckily, every new Kia SUV comes with a wide range of sophisticated safety and driver-assist features! Here’s a selection of the features you’ll find regardless if you choose the Kia Sportage vs. Sorento:
However, it’s worth noting that the Kia Sportage does come with a few more standard features than the Sorento, including Blind Spot Collision Warning technology. These features can still be found on the Sorento, but only on upper-level trims.
