Are you in the market for a Kia Sportage for sale? If so, you're probably already familiar with the Kia brand and its lineup of sporty and affordable SUVs. At Folsom Lake Kia, we're proud to offer customers a great selection of sport utility vehicles, including the Kia Sportage. Before you decide on an exact model to drive home, we urge you to do a little comparison shopping first. For example, many of our recent clients have been asking us how the Kia Sportage stacks up to the Kia Sorento. These two SUVs have a few key differences you should keep in mind while car shopping.

Cargo Volume and Size

The biggest difference between the Kia Sportage and the Kia Sorento is size. The Kia Sportage is a compact SUV that measures 176.4 inches long. The Kia Sorento, on the other hand, is a full 189 inches long. Because the Kia Sorento is a full-size SUV, it should also come as no surprise that it features three rows of seating (for up to seven passengers) compared to the two rows available in the Kia Sportage. Similarly, you'll get more cargo space in the full-size Kia Sorento, too. So if you have a larger family or take frequent road trips that necessitate more storage space, you might consider checking out the Kia Sorento.

Maneuverability and Efficiency

Size isn't the only factor customers look for in a new Kia SUV though. Many drivers in the Folsom, CA region prefer a smaller, more compact vehicle that they can navigate through heavy traffic and narrow city streets. If this sounds like you, the Kia Sportage is a great option. Because of its compact size, the Kia Sportage is much easier to maneuver through our urban environment. Plus, its smaller body and engine both add up to increased fuel efficiency. This makes the Kia Sportage one of the most popular models we have for eco-conscious drivers, as well.

So if you want to learn more about any of the SUVs at our Folsom Kia dealership, we encourage you to visit us in person. Our team would love to answer any lingering questions you have about the Kia Sportage or Kia Sorento.
