Comparison Review

Convenience
With the Kia Sorento, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Dodge Hornet, due to its tank size and fuel economy.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Dodge Hornet will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Kia Sorento.

Dimensions
Since the Dodge Hornet is much wider than the Kia Sorento, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Dodge Hornet, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Kia Sorento.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Kia Sorento is clearly the choice over the Dodge Hornet for pulling heavy loads. The Dodge Hornet has a little less horsepower than the Kia Sorento.

Powertrain
The Dodge Hornet has much lower torque than the Kia Sorento, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
The Dodge Hornet has less seating than the Kia Sorento, making the Kia Sorento the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers.
