The 2021 Kia Sorento vs. 2020 Kia Sorento
One year can make all the difference, just look at the 2021 Kia Sorento vs. 2020 Kia Sorento!

Similar Options to the 2021 Kia Sorento
2021 Toyota Highlander
The 2021 Toyota Highlander has often been compared to the Sorento in terms of usage. However, the 2021 Kia Sorento outshines this year’s Highlander with a more elegant interior design and reliable infotainment system. The Sorento even has a higher predicted reliability rating than the well-known Toyota.
2021 Kia Telluride
Both Kia cars feature a new head-turning design, but are arguably suited for different purposes. The Telluride is a large SUV, sporting notably more cargo space than it’s crossover counterpart. Keep in mind, the Sorento gets better gas mileage — an important feature when living in a city such as Charlotte and its surrounding areas. In the end, the 2021 Kia Sorento beat out the Telluride as the 2021 Best 3-Row SUV for the Money. We recommend the Telluride for families needing more seating room, or outdoor enthusiasts carrying tons of gear to and from places like Asheville or Boone.
