2016 Kia Sorento vs 2016 Toyota Highlander

2016 Kia Sorento vs 2016 Toyota Highlander

Looking to purchase a new SUV can leave drivers with a lot of questions. With so many vehicles available in today's crowded marketplace, it is more and more stressful to choose the perfect car for your lifestyle and preferences. Here at Palmen Kia, we are working hard to change that. Today, we're comparing the 2016 Kia Sorento and 2016 Toyota Highlander to offer you the latest information and details on these two new vehicle options.
Looking to the exterior, these two vehicles are unique in appearance and each offer incredible performance. However, the higher price for the larger Toyota Highlander might be a deal breaker for drivers who don't need the extra space. The 2016 Kia Sorento offers a smaller base engine with a more impressive fuel economy, while the V6 engine on the base Highlander can only reach up to 25 miles per gallon. The clean lines and smooth exterior of the redesigned 2016 Kia Sorento is aerodynamic and offers a smaller footprint for drivers looking to save space on the driveway.
