Comfort
The Jeep Cherokee offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Kia Sorento, with comparable head- and legroom.
The Kia Sorento will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Jeep Cherokee.
Convenience
The Kia Sorento requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Jeep Cherokee, making it more convenient to drive.
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 Jeep Cherokee will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Kia Sorento.
Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Destination Charge for the Jeep Cherokee is much higher than that for the Kia Sorento.
Dimensions
The Jeep Cherokee is a little narrower than the Kia Sorento, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot.
The Jeep Cherokee is slightly shorter than the Kia Sorento, which may make it easier to park.
Drivetrain
With its lower torque engine, the Jeep Cherokee doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Kia Sorento.
Handling
The Jeep Cherokee has the same turning radius as the Kia Sorento, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.
Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Kia Sorento is clearly the choice over the Jeep Cherokee for pulling heavy loads.
The Jeep Cherokee has a little less horsepower than the Kia Sorento.
Utility
The Jeep Cherokee has less seating than the Kia Sorento, making the Kia Sorento the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers.
The Jeep Cherokee has significantly less cargo capacity than the Kia Sorento.
Warranty
The basic warranty of the Jeep Cherokee is not as nearly as extensive as that of the Kia Sorento.
