belong Kia Sorento 2021 “Kia Sorento 2021” For the mid-size SUV category. The Kia Sorento has a powerful optional turbo engine and provides a comfortable ride on most tracks, in addition to enjoying good fuel economy. The Sorento has a stylish interior with three rows of seats and a large cargo capacity. Not only does it have these qualities, but it costs less than a lot of its competitors, making it a good choice for people looking for value for money.
You won’t have to go far. In this class of cars, you can get another mid-size Kia that can seat up to eight people and offers more cargo capacity. We are talking here about the older sister Kia Telluride, which also has an excellent interior design and the same easy-to-use infotainment system. The Telluride has a more powerful V6 than the two Sorento engines, but the Sorento has good fuel economy. It’s also worth noting that Telluride costs more than its competitor and younger sister Sorrento.
The Toyota Highlander is also a good mid-size SUV, not a great one, positioning itself in the middle of this class of cars. Like the Telluride, the Highlander costs more than the Sorento and also seats up to eight people and offers more cargo capacity, but the Sorento comes with a nicer interior and has an easier-to-use infotainment system. The Sorento also has good fuel economy and better road handling, but is less powerful than the Highlander.

The 2021 Kia Sorento accommodates up to seven people in three rows of seats in its standard configuration, and you can choose the captain’s seats in the second row that reduce the capacity to six. The first two rows of seats are comfortable and provide good support and provide enough head and leg room for adult passengers. The third row seats are not wide, and they are low to the ground. These seats are designed for occasional use or for young children only. So even if adults could just sit there, they wouldn’t be very comfortable on long or short trips. The Sorento has sliding seats in the second row that offer plenty of legroom, which is exceptional for a car of this size.
