A common question many drivers have when shopping for a Kia car is, “What’s the gas mileage like?” Luckily, the 2022 Sorento and the Telluride are fuel-efficient models, each bringing something a bit different to the table.
In the front-wheel drive Kia Sorento, you’ll get an EPA-estimated 24 city/29 highway MPG, so you’ll be able to roam across town with minimal interruptions.* Meanwhile, the front-wheel drive Kia Telluride earns an EPA-estimated 20 city/26 highway MPG.*
Both models will easily take you from your driveway to your next destination; however, with higher efficiency in the Sorento, you’ll be able to stay away from the pump longer.
The fuel consumption in the Kia Sorento is enhanced thanks to the Idle Stop and Go system. This brilliant feature automatically shuts off the engine when your Kia is stopped and then turns it back on when movement resumes.
While the Telluride goes without a comparable feature, you’ll find standard Drive Modes on this SUV. Within the system, you’ll have four different modes to help you adapt to the road, including Comfort, Eco, Sport, and Smart. The Sorento offers the same system, too!
What’s fuel efficiency without a good engine backing it up? Both the Kia Sorento and the Kia Telluride generate plenty of power under the hood, which allows drivers to experience a limitless feel on the road and the ability to tow.
In the 2022 Kia Sorento, you’ll see a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine that generates 191 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. Looking for greater oomph? Upgrade to the turbocharged motor to be treated to 281 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque.
The 2022 Kia Telluride, on the other hand, only has one powertrain to offer, but it’s a doozy. This 3.8-liter Lambda V6 engine provides a thrilling ride you’re sure to enjoy at every mile with 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque.
An exhilarating ride is a given with both the Kia Sorento and the Kia Telluride. Are they both strong performers as well? Yes! Both Kia SUVs offer lots of pulling power, which means you can take along your boat, small camper, jet ski, snowmobile, or ATV to your next adventure.
How much can each vehicle tow? For starters, the Kia Sorento can haul up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped. However, you may have a towable toy that weighs more. Good thing the Kia Telluride can tow up to 5,000 pounds!
For many drivers, the draw to a Kia SUV is its cabin space. The 2022 Sorento and the Telluride live up to this desire with ease. While both models offer plenty of wiggle room, your choice lies in just how much space you need for your crew and your cargo. Discover your top choice below!
