Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Kia Sorento than in the Toyota Sequoia. The Kia Sorento offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Toyota Sequoia, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

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 Sequoia, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

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). Clearly, the Kia Sorento is a better financial choice over the Toyota Sequoia, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Kia Sorento is much slimmer than the Toyota Sequoia, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Kia Sorento, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Toyota Sequoia.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Toyota Sequoia is clearly the choice over the Kia Sorento for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Kia Sorento has a lot less horsepower than the Toyota Sequoia.

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

Utility
The Kia Sorento has less seating than the Toyota Sequoia, making the Toyota Sequoia the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. The Kia Sorento has less cargo space than the Toyota Sequoia, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
