Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Kia Sorento Hybrid than in the BMW X5, due to its greater head- and legroom.
The Kia Sorento Hybrid offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the BMW X5, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.
Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the BMW X5 as you will with the Kia Sorento Hybrid, 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). The BMW X5 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Kia Sorento Hybrid, which has a much lower MSRP.
Dimensions
Since the BMW X5 is much wider than the Kia Sorento Hybrid, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging.
For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the BMW X5, which is slightly longer than the Kia Sorento Hybrid.

Powertrain
