Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Hyundai Palisade than in the Kia Sorento.
The Hyundai Palisade will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Kia Sorento.
Convenience
The Kia Sorento requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Hyundai Palisade, making it more convenient to drive.
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 Hyundai Palisade 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 Hyundai Palisade and the Kia Sorento have similar Destination Charges.
Dimensions
Since the Hyundai Palisade is much wider than the Kia Sorento, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging.
For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Hyundai Palisade, which is slightly longer than the Kia Sorento.
Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Hyundai Palisade is clearly the choice over the Kia Sorento for pulling heavy loads.
The Hyundai Palisade has a little more horsepower than the Kia Sorento.
Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Hyundai Palisade doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Kia Sorento.
Utility

The Hyundai Palisade has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Kia Sorento.
