The New Kia Sorento Dominates Its Competition in Lakeland, FL
If you're looking for an SUV that has plenty of room for your family and lots of great features to keep them safe and entertained, get the new Kia Sorento. This midsize model was named the Best 3-Row Midsize SUV for the Money by U.S. News and World Report. Other similar-sized SUVs such as the Toyota Highlander, Honda Pilot, and Subaru Ascent are also family friendly, but they can't match the overall excellence of the Sorento. Regal Kia in Lakeland, FL proudly presents the following comparison to help you decide for yourself.
Performance
You need an SUV with plenty of get-up-and-go so you can get the kids to school on time in Winter Haven. The Kia Sorento's available turbocharged four-cylinder engine generates 281 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque, giving it plenty of zip for merging onto highways or passing other vehicles.
The Toyota Highlander's lone engine option is a turbocharged four-cylinder producing 265 horsepower. The Honda Pilot's V6 makes 285 horsepower, but only 262 pound-feet of torque. The Subaru Ascent's only engine offering produces 260 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque.
Infotainment and Technology
A quality infotainment system helps keep the driver alert and the family entertained on long road trips beyond Brandon. The new Kia Sorento comes standard with a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system that comes standard with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A panoramic sunroof is available on all but the base trim for a brighter cabin on sunny days in Bloomingdale, FL.
The Toyota Highlander's standard touchscreen is only 8 inches long. The Honda Pilot also comes with a 12.3-inch touchscreen, but you must buy one of the top trims to get a panoramic sunroof. The Subaru Ascent's standard infotainment display is 11.6 inches long.
Safety
Keeping your family safe is one of the most important aspects of any vehicle. The new Kia Sorento provides peace of mind for Haines City drivers with six standard advanced active safety features. This includes intersection collision mitigation, which warns you of an impending collision during a left turn and applies the brakes if necessary.
The Toyota Highlander only comes with four standard driver assistance features, and the Honda Pilot only has five. The Subaru Ascent has eight standard driver aids, but intersection collision mitigation isn't available.
