For some reason, most reviewers, including Joe, refrain from comparing closely related vehicles from KIA and Hyundai. Yet because of the many shared components and features along with some critical differences consumers may well be more likely to cross shop vehicles from Hyundai and KIA than either brand with vehicles (such as the Passport and Outback) from other automakers. In this case, the Santa Fe XRT is a closely related comparable vehicle compared to the Sorento S X-Line trim.
In terms of differences the Sorento offers foldable third row of seats, standard AWD, and slightly larger overall cargo space for essentially the same MSRP as an AWD Santa Fe. In addition, the Sorento offers an optional panoramic sunroof that isn't available on the Santa Fe. In short, anyone considering either the Santa Fe or the Sorento would do well to consider the other vehicle with the same engine and drivetrain, infotainment system, and a host of other shared components.
