Toyota Prado Vs Kia Sorento |

120 Series |
This is a brief comparison between the Prado and the Kia Sorento. I put this page up so that you can compare purely for personal interest reasons. The Prado and the Kia Sorento are technically not comparable since they occupy different pricing and specification levels. The Sorrento is a bargain in terms of specification comparison to other models especially when you look at things like towing capacity if you can live with its smaller size. Both have ladder frames so it should be quite a tough
vehicle for long term use. |
Interior wise, even in top level trim is a tad on the basic side. When compared to its logical rivals the Toyota RAV4 or the Suzuki Grand Vitara it not particularly value of money either so it is understandable why the Sorrento does not sell particularly well in this country. Note that specifications will change according to
the trim models available and additional or less accessories.
You should check the official Kia website for your country for
the most up to date information. |
