Comparison Review

Comfort
The Chevrolet Traverse offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Kia Sorento, with comparable head- and legroom. The Chevrolet Traverse will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Kia Sorento.

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 Chevrolet Traverse will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Kia Sorento.

Dimensions
Since the Chevrolet Traverse 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 Chevrolet Traverse, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Kia Sorento.

Performance
The Chevrolet Traverse has a little more horsepower than the Kia Sorento.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Chevrolet Traverse transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Kia Sorento.

Utility
The Chevrolet Traverse offers greater seating capacity than the Kia Sorento, making it a better choice for those who find themselves chauffeuring others around. With the Chevrolet Traverse, you'll be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Kia Sorento.
