Are you in the market for a fully capable, spacious, and versatile SUV? Let's face it- you have many options, and making a decision on which SUV to choose can be difficult.
Two of the most popular SUVs in America are the Toyota 4Runner and the Kia Sorento. Both offer great interiors with a spacious cabin, and both have the capabilities you expect from an SUV. But which is superior, the 2014 Toyota 4Runner or the 2014 Kia Sorento?
The 2014 Toyota 4Runner take on the 2014 Kia Sorento
When compared side-by-side, it becomes clear that the 2014 Toyota 4Runner is a decent SUV, but the Sorento is the obvious choice.
Body structure: Kia set out to make a more nimble and more fuel-efficient 2014 Sorento, and they achieved this by lightening the body structure. The lighter body is also has improved strength and stiffness, resulting in a more responsive ride with enhanced handling.
Powertrain and Engines: Kia gave the 2014 Sorento a new direct-injected 2.4L four-cylinder engine that gives the SUV 191 hp, as well as a 3.3L V6 that delivers 290 hp. Unfortunately for the 2014 4Runner, Toyota chose to keep the same engines despite redesigning their SUV. The 4.0L V6 in the 2013 Toyota 4Runner only delivered 270 hp, short of the Sorento's 3.3L V6.
Clearly, if handling and driving performance is important to you, then the Kia Sorento is superior to the 2014 Toyota 4Runner. The Sorento delivers a higher standard in design, technologies, engine options, and performance.
