Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Kia Sorento than in the Chevrolet Blazer, due to its greater head- and legroom.
The Kia Sorento offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Chevrolet Blazer, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.
Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Chevrolet Blazer as you will with the Kia Sorento, 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). The Chevrolet Blazer is somewhat more expensive than the Kia Sorento.
Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. Both the Chevrolet Blazer and the Kia Sorento have similar Destination Charges.
Dimensions
Since the Chevrolet Blazer is much wider than the Kia Sorento, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging.
When looking at overall length, the Chevrolet Blazer takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Kia Sorento.
Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Kia Sorento is clearly the choice over the Chevrolet Blazer for pulling heavy loads.
The Chevrolet Blazer has a little more horsepower than the Kia Sorento.
Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Chevrolet Blazer doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Kia Sorento.
Utility
The Chevrolet Blazer has less seating than the Kia Sorento, making the Kia Sorento the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers.
The Chevrolet Blazer has less cargo space than the Kia Sorento, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
Warranty
The basic warranty of the Chevrolet Blazer is not as nearly as extensive as that of the Kia Sorento.
