Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Kia Sorento as you will with the Toyota 4Runner, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Kia Sorento transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Toyota 4Runner.
Utility
