![]() ![]() The Sorento feels nimble and quick, and the engine is responsive and properly sporty. The Sorento has a few engine choices our SX Prestige test vehicle came with the turbocharged four-cylinder that makes 281 horses and 311 lb-ft of torque. ![]() On the plus side, the Telluride has a smoother ride and lets in less wind and road noise on the highway. However, the Telluride is a bigger, heavier vehicle and you can feel the extra weight when driving around turns and slowing down at high speeds. With 291 horses and 262 lb-ft of torque, this V6 makes more horsepower than any of the Sorento's engine options. The Telluride comes standard with a V6 engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission. Staying within a smaller budget? You'll want the Sorento. As makes sense for the larger flagship, the Telluride is a little nicer and a little more expensive than a similarly equipped Sorento.Ĭurbside presence a priority? Go Telluride. We drove a Sorento SX Prestige X-line in our comparison.īoth SUVs start in the $30,000 range and can be optioned - like our test SUVs - well above $40,000. There are six different trims and a few available engines including an upcoming hybrid. That's pretty simple for the Telluride, which only offers four trims, all with the same drivetrain. The front end doesn't have the same intimidating presence, but the side view offers sculpted details and flared fenders.īoth the Kias in our test were top-of-the-line trim levels. The new Sorento isn't quite as big, but the redesign tightened up its lines and gave it a similar profile to the Telluride. The Telluride does have leading-man looks, with a tall square profile, a fashionable grille that has a midcentury modern pattern and wide-set stacked LED headlights. It's an automotive cliché to call a vehicle handsome, and what do we really mean by that anyway - that it's got a good jawline and pretty eyes? Well, yeah, kinda. ![]()
