The Sorento starts lower than the Santa Fe, Highlander, Pilot, and Palisade, and it is the only one here offered with gas, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid powertrains. Note the size range: the RAV4 is a smaller five-seat compact and the Palisade is a larger up-to-nine-seat SUV, so the Sorento sits right in the middle as a flexible three-row. On warranty, the Sorento, Santa Fe, and Palisade lead with 10-year / 100,000-mile powertrain coverage, while the Highlander, Honda Pilot, and RAV4 offer 5-year / 60,000-mile coverage. For a full breakdown of any single matchup, open one of the head-to-head comparisons above.
The Sorento is offered in gas, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid forms. Front-wheel drive is standard on most trims with all-wheel drive available; the X-Line and X-Pro come with all-wheel drive standard.
