Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Kia Sorento than in the Chevrolet Blazer, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Kia Sorento offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Chevrolet Blazer, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

Convenience
The Chevrolet Blazer requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Kia Sorento, making it more convenient to drive.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Chevrolet Blazer will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Kia Sorento.

Dimensions
Since the Chevrolet Blazer is much wider than the Kia Sorento, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. When looking at overall length, the Chevrolet Blazer takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Kia Sorento.

Performance
The Chevrolet Blazer has a little less horsepower than the Kia Sorento.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Chevrolet Blazer does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Kia Sorento.

Utility
The Chevrolet Blazer has less seating than the Kia Sorento, making the Kia Sorento the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. The Chevrolet Blazer has less cargo space than the Kia Sorento, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
