The rise of SUVs, especially those that provide the same features and conveniences as sedans, which have generally been the vehicle of choice for Canadian families, has been drastic. The SUV and crossover segments have seen a recent uptick in popularity as automotive consumers from Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Truro, Nova Scotia, Guysborough, Nova Scotia, and Canso Nova Scotia have appreciated their versatility and practicality. The competition in the compact crossover segment is quite fierce, as almost every manufacturer offers an option. There are two vehicles that have been going head to head since their inceptions.

The Kia Sorento and Hyundai Sante Fe have both been at the top of the ladder, with both offering similar features and options. However, between the two of them, only one is superior to the other. The Kia Sorento stands out for its convenient size; it is the same size as many mid-size, five-passenger crossovers; however, it provides room for seven. It's the perfect vehicle if your family has reached a point where five is not enough, and a minivan is out of the question. With its pleasant interior, long list of standard and available features, and one of the best warranties in the industry, it is the complete package. At Strait Way Kia, we are pleased to offer the complete Kia lineup, including the 2020 Kia Sorento. We invite you to experience the full scale of what the Sorento is capable of and have made it easy to get behind the wheel.

The Interior

The 2020 Kia Sorento interior offers a unique airiness to the cabin once you step in. With large windows and an available dual-panel panoramic sunroof, the Sorento has amazing visibility in all directions. The Santa Fe has a tighter cabin with narrower windows and does not provide the same effect. The interior material is of high quality, with soft-touch materials where occupants would touch most. The ergonomics of the 2020 Kia Sorento are exceptional, with everything exactly where you need it and without it being busy. The same cannot be said for the Santa Fe. The interior space difference between the two is noticeable, as the third-row option in the Santa Fe is not offered. Fold-down all the seats in the Sorento, and you have yourself enough space to transport pretty much anything you want. The Sorento offers two different touchscreen infotainment systems. A 7.0-inch or an 8.0-inch with navigation, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration is standard with the Sorento, and it features a Harman Kardon premium sound system on the SX trim. The Santa Fe only offers one touchscreen option.

Exterior

The 2020 Kia Sorento exterior is genuine and stylish. With no need to introduce edges and curves that are unnecessary, it has a serene approach to its design language. While the Santa Fa seems as though it is a bit confused about its design approach and doesn't quite know which direction it wants to take.

Performance

The Sorento is equipped with a tried and tested 3.3-litre V-6 powerplant, which produces an impressive 290 horsepower and up to 252 lb-ft of torque. Or you are welcome to go with the base engine, a 2.4-litre four-cylinder that generates a healthy 185 horsepower and up to 178 lb-ft of torque. While the Hyundai Santa Fe features a 2.4-litre four-cylinder that also offers 185 horsepower, however, its optional engine is a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder that musters up 235 horsepower. The Sorento offers more torque and horsepower with its V-6, which makes sure you keep moving when you hit the throttle. So what are you waiting for? Contact us to book your test drive!
