Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Kia Sorento than in the Toyota 4Runner.
The Kia Sorento will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Toyota 4Runner.
Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Kia Sorento as you will with the Toyota 4Runner, 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). When looking only at MSRP, the Kia Sorento will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Toyota 4Runner.
Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. In this case, the Kia Sorento will cost less to deliver to the dealership than the Toyota 4Runner.
Dimensions
The Kia Sorento is a little narrower than the Toyota 4Runner, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot.
The Kia Sorento is slightly shorter than the Toyota 4Runner, which may make it easier to park.
Drivetrain
With its lower torque engine, the Kia Sorento doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Toyota 4Runner.
Handling
The Kia Sorento has the same turning radius as the Toyota 4Runner, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.
Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Toyota 4Runner is clearly the choice over the Kia Sorento for pulling heavy loads.
The Kia Sorento has a little less horsepower than the Toyota 4Runner.
Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Kia Sorento and the Toyota 4Runner.
The Kia Sorento has significantly less cargo capacity than the Toyota 4Runner.
Warranty
You'll have greater peace of mind with the more generous basic warranty of the Kia Sorento than that of the Toyota 4Runner.
