Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Kia Sorento Hybrid than in the Chevrolet Blazer, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Kia Sorento Hybrid offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Chevrolet Blazer, 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 Chevrolet Blazer 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). Whether you pick the Chevrolet Blazer or the Kia Sorento Hybrid, it's going to cost you about the same.

Dimensions
Since the Chevrolet Blazer is much wider than the Kia Sorento Hybrid, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. When looking at overall length, the Chevrolet Blazer takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Kia Sorento Hybrid.

Handling
The Chevrolet Blazer has a larger turning radius than the Kia Sorento Hybrid, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of horsepower, it's a virtual tie between the Chevrolet Blazer and the Kia Sorento Hybrid.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Chevrolet Blazer does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Kia Sorento Hybrid.

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