Sportage versus Sorento

[aiko27]

Hello fellow members. I am fairly new to this forum and I am thankful for all the information I received. Our new Innova 2013 was delivered last week. We are selling our 2010 Vios to purchase either KIA Sportage or KIA Sorento. We need a 5-seater SUV.

I am having a hard time deciding whether to get a Sportage or Sorento. Please help.

We only need a 5-seater vehicle which runs on diesel fuel.

Thanks in advance.

pick the sorento if you put a premium on space. i was contemplating before whether i should get the sorento LX when the sportage still wasn't available. and put it the missing stuff one at a time. that would have been interesting.

but i still picked the sportage because of the package (bang for buck). i was also thinking that if space is needed, that's what a 7-seater larger SUV is for. for now, i'm happy with the sporty as a small CUV

Thanks for the reply fleas. Appreciate it really.

In terms of performance, which is better than the two?

The 2.2L obviously has more power, 181 hp vs 197 hp 392 Nm vs 436 Nm. I don't know about the power-to-weight ratio of the two. Having driven the Santa Fe, it feels like the Santa Fe has more pull. However, that was the dual-exhaust version. Not sure if that is a factor.

The 2.0L obviously would be more economic.

But if you want the power and the economy, you could always buy a race chip pro and attach it to the Sporty (or the Sorento for more power and slight FC improvement). Cue: shameless plug I have one on sale on Sulit

Ang hindi ko maintindihan, yung 2.2L Santa Fe namin mas matipid pa sa 2.0L Tucson ko

Siguro dahil 4WD yung Tucson. Kaya mahirap sabihin kung alin mas matipid sa Sportage vs Sorento haha.

Maganda yun 2013 Sorento LX, pero Sportage parin vote ko. Wag lang sand track kunin mong color

If you can get them for similar prices, the Sorento is definitely the way to go.

You don't get that stupid decapitation-special rear door on the Sorento, for one. And the interior space is much better.

If both are diesel, fuel economy won't be too far off, and the 2.2 has titanic shove compared to the 2.0. Enough to pull the front end of the Sorento sideways if you boot it from a stop.

test drive mo and decide which one suits you better!

Hi fleas. What is a race chip pro? You said for power and economy right? Can I use it on our Innova too? Sorry: shameless reply to a shameless plug.

[fleas2016]

^ yes, the Innova D4D is supported but you will need a harness that's for 2.5L engine in the Innova.

For more information on the RC and vehicle compatibility, you can go to their site: chiptuning-what-is-it/.

FYI, my RC pro is now reserved so I uninstalled it about a month ago. I can feel the difference especially during hard acceleration

Ganda ng seatcover mo sir. Saan mo pinagawa? Cover ba yan or upholstery?

Seatcover lang sir. Andun contact info sa page 12 ng sorento lx thread

Thanks for the reply with pictures saging. Indeed the seatcover looks fine. I will visit the thread you mentioned. I got my Sportage yesterday and I am so happy with it.

Hello po mga Sir/Mam, particularly the Sportage and/or Sorento owners.

I'm just wondering if may nakagawa na dito ng Sportage wheel upgrade by putting on the stock Sorento wheels. If so, any feedbacks? Ano po ang pros and cons.

Thanks! (Sorry if I'm hijacking this thread, but I think it's still related.)

Its one size bigger, should be no major problem...
Your speedometer/odometer maybe off within 3%. acceleration maybe a tad slower too...

May slight difference kase hinde maintained ang total outside diameter. Sportage stock: 235/60/16 and Sorento: 235/65/17 if I'm not mistaken.
So, merong almost 2 inches na dagdag sa diameter.

I'm more concerned on the decreased acceleration due to the added weight.

Okay ser gets ko na, akala ko talaga walang diff sa total Outside diameter.

Dapat pala ser pati decreased deceleration concern ka rin, brake heat, added fuel consumption, reduced range, etc... pero gwapo naman auto mo ser... hehehe yun nah.

[parakitoJDM]

Ser Jan2X yes thats true may konting increase sa acceleration time mo by a few tenths of a second.... pero pag full boost na turbo mo at 1800rpm onwards halos negligible na yun. Tama din ser TogaLock pati braking distance mo may slight change....ten madali ka lang din mag adjust sa driving styke mo to cope wth those changes. Kung gusto mo talaga Sorento mags/tires I can consider selling mine. Mine's only at 7T km ODOMeter ...Hehe.

[parak21]

Planning to nuy either the sportage diesel or sorento diesel

Which has the better deal?

[icon]

Also went to check out the sportage diesel and the base 4x2 AT sorento. 30k difference lang ung 2.

Sorento is bigger so roomier inside. better flood fording too. But don't know how good or bad the sportage is in this aspect.
Sportage has drl, parking sensors, side mirror repeaters. Not sure what else.
Interior may plus din sportage as sorento looks bare but okay din overall.

Planning for test drive din to see the difference in speed, handling and ride comfort.

May turbo na ba yung Gen2? I'm sure di pa VGT, so baka waste gate? Anyway, di ko ramdam if meron man, heheh.
About the sorento mags/tires, sayang naman, kakakuha ko lang ng 4 na yoko geolandar ht/s over the weekend. Haiissssttt... oh, well. PM mo price sakin, para dumoble panghihinayang ko, heheh.

with VGT turbo CRDi ser ng Hyundai/Kia's... ako na lang PM mo magkano mo nakuha Sorento wheels/tires?
so mukhang you sticked with original size for the Sportage?
