Technology Comparison
The 2023 Kia Sorento is designed for every driver. This means that each time you get behind the wheel of the new Sorento, you will have seamless connectivity to your vehicle that will make driving easier than ever before. Unlike the Ford Escape or the Hyundai Santa Fe, you will have a larger available touchscreen of 10.25 inches that flows into the complementary digital gauge display. Inside the new Sorento, you and your passengers will have 6 USB ports, so everyone can easily stay charged, in the new Ford Escape there are only 2 ports while the Hyundai Santa Fe features 4 ports.
Interior Space Comparison
In every aspect of size, the new 2023 Kia Sorento outshines the 2023 Ford Escape and the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe. The Kia Sorento boasts a passenger volume of 121.3 cubic feet, over 10 cubic feet more than the Escape and the Santa Fe. This Interior space is carried over to passenger space and cargo capacity, as you will simply have more room to stretch out and load up inside the new Sorento than in either of the competitors.


Performance Comparison
In terms of performance, the Sorento follows through with the same superior offerings that have shown through in other comparisons. Powered by a standard 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine the new 2023 Kia Sorento will deliver 191 horsepower and 182 pound-feet of torque, the same as the Hyundai Santa Fe and more than the Ford Escape. Performance differs when it comes to components. The new Kia Sorento was built for all adventures, with Torque-vectoring All-Wheel Drive with a Center Locking Differential and Torque Vectoring Cornering Control, features that are exclusive to the 2023 Kia Sorento.
Warranty Comparison
When you purchase a Kia Sorento, you are investing in a vehicle that comes with the best-in-class 10-year or 100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty. The Ford Escape comes with far less, being a 3-year or 36,000-mile warranty, and the Hyundai Santa Fe only offers a 5-year or 60,000-mile warranty. With such a comprehensive and long-lasting warranty, it is safe to say you will unlock better warranty coverage in the 2023 Kia Sorento than any of the competitors.
