With seating for up to seven people in three rows and all of the features and amenities that drivers are looking for, the 2022 Kia Sorento that's available now at Liberty Kia is a great option for any New Jersey driver. It's available now in our new vehicle inventory, and we're excited to help you get to know it better.
While the Sorento is a perfect fit for many families, we understand that it may not be the only three-row SUV competing for your attention. To learn more and discover what makes it the best option, we invite you to take a closer look at the research we've put together for our customers here, examining the Sorento next to a similarly sized, competing SUV.
Kia Sorento vs. Toyota Highlander
Searching for a new, family-friendly SUV in New Jersey can lead to a dizzying array of options to consider. There are a lot of three-row options to consider in our area. But the Kia Sorento should be at the top of any driver's must-see list. To illustrate the many things that set it apart, we've compared it next to the Toyota Highlander, a similarly sized model that also has three rows. Read on to learn more.
Plug-In Hybrid Option
When choosing either the Toyota Highlander or the Kia Sorento, drivers get to choose between either a gas-powered SUV or a traditional hybrid option. But if you're looking for hybrid capability and you prefer a plug-in option, then the choice is clear. Of these two models, only the Sorento offers a cutting-edge and groundbreaking plug-in system.
The 2022 Kia Sorento Plug-In Hybrid gets its power from a rechargeable, plug-in electric / gas system and it can go up to 32 miles on electric power alone. The Toyota Highlander model doesn't offer a plug-in option or an EV driving range.
Passenger Comfort and Interior
If you were to look at these two SUVs next to each other, you would probably notice that their exterior dimensions are similar, but that the Toyota Highlander is actually a little larger than our Kia Sorento. The Toyota SUV is both longer and taller than the Kia. But the Sorento maximizes its interior dimensions better than the competition, offering a cavernous passenger area with more legroom for rear seat passengers than the Toyota.
In fact, not only does the second row of the Kia Sorento offer more legroom than the Toyota, but its third row is more spacious as well. The Kia has nearly 30 inches of legroom for your third-row passengers, while the Highlander offers a cramped ride with just 27 inches of space.
Efficiency and Fuel Economy
Drivers here in the Ramsey, NJ area are no stranger to city driving. Whether your commute takes you down city blocks with stop and go traffic at every light, or your just heading across town to go grocery shopping, you want to make sure that your SUV is efficient and ready to take you where you need to go. The Kia Sorento is up to the task. It earns a greater fuel economy estimated rating and a better in-city driving range than the Toyota Highlander, with around 24 mpg in the city and 425 miles per fill up in city driving for the Kia, and just 21 mpg city and a 376-mile city driving range for the Toyota.
