Worthy Competitors/ advantage over competitions

The main competitor of Kia Sorento is Toyota Fortuner. The major advantage that Kia Sorento has over Toyota Fortuner is its price range which is very cheaper than the Toyota Fortuner and at the time the Kia Sorento offers the same features which Toyota Fortuner has. Kia is a leading brand while and they have the most reliable and durable cars. The dealership network of Kia is not strong enough in Pakistan right now but after some time the dealership network will get better. Price range is the main advantage that Kia Sorento has over Toyota Fortuner. The panoramic sunroof is another major feature that is missing in Toyota Fortuner.

 

Final Verdict

A few years back Toyota Fortuner was the only choice available for the users but after the launch of the Kia, Sorento users have a choice to opt between them. Kia Sorento is the first 7-seater vehicle with a panoramic sunroof which is the most likable feature in the Pakistani market. Kia Sorento is a perfect car for a family and for a user who is fond of off-roading then the 3.5-liter variant and the 2.4-liter AWD variant is the best choice. There are ample features available in Kia Sorento like 7-air bags and heated side mirrors so it is a good choice for the users and it will compete with Toyota Fortuner.
