Comfort
The Kia Sorento offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Kia Sportage, with comparable head- and legroom.
As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Kia Sorento and the Kia Sportage.
Convenience
Due to the larger tank size and better fuel economy of the Kia Sorento, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Kia Sportage.
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). The Kia Sorento is somewhat more expensive than the Kia Sportage.
Dimensions
The Kia Sorento is a little wider than the Kia Sportage, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze.
For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Kia Sorento, which is slightly longer than the Kia Sportage.
Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Kia Sorento is clearly the choice over the Kia Sportage for pulling heavy loads.
When it comes to horsepower, the Kia Sorento greatly out-muscles the Kia Sportage.
Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Kia Sorento does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Kia Sportage.
Utility
The Kia Sorento offers greater seating capacity than the Kia Sportage, making it a better choice for those who find themselves chauffeuring others around.
You'll be able to fit about the same amount of groceries in the Kia Sorento as you will in the Kia Sportage.
