Compare the 2023 Kia Sportage vs Sorento - Houston, TX

2023 Kia Sportage vs 2023 Kia Sorento

In terms of amenities and style, the 2023 Kia Sportage and Sorento are two of Kia's hottest SUVs that offer a satisfying tech experience and adventurous travel. Both models come equipped with dynamic voice recognition and large interior touchscreens. However, there are differences in the way they are styled and situated in the cabin, as well as their powertrain offerings that offer distinct advantages to certain drivers and families.

Performance

Starting with performance, both models have a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine, but the LX Sorento offers more horsepower and torque than the LX Sportage. For those who prefer a more powerful engine, the Sorento also offers a stronger 2.5L turbocharged engine with 281 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque, along with an 8-speed wet-type dual-clutch automatic transmission. On the other hand, the Sportage's single-engine offering is ideal for those who are looking for a reliable drive, but not necessarily a racing-ready one.

Appearance

When it comes to appearance, the biggest difference between the two models is their size. The Sportage is a compact model, while the Sorento is a mid-size SUV that follows a truck's general frame and build. The Sportage offers a series of two-tone paint options, while the Sorento uses monotones and offers attractive colors like Passion Red and Sapphire Blue.

Features

As for features, the 2023 Sportage offers a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen display with Kia Connect compared to the Sorento's 10.25-inch display that comes on the fully loaded trim. However, both models start out with an 8-inch display that should suffice for most buyers. The Sorento comes with a few extra standard safety features to start off the trim lineup, such as Safe Exit Assist and Intelligent Speed Limit Assist, but both models are protected by Kia Drive Wise and are considered top-of-the-line in their respective classes.
