The Mitsubishi Outlander Vs. the Kia Sorento: Which three-row SUV is better for Rockaway Township drivers
As a new Mitsubishi dealer serving shoppers from Newark to Hackettstown, it's our duty to keep our guests informed of all the latest updates from the Mitsubishi Brand. And with fresh features coming with seemingly each new model year, there's always lots to talk about. In fact, perhaps the most discussed model in our inventory these days is the recently redesigned Mitsubishi Outlander. As the flagship to the Mitsubishi SUV lineup, the new Mitsubishi Outlander is a value-packed option for growing families. However, if you're like many drivers from Dover to Denville, you want to do your due diligence and compare it with other rivals on the market like the new Mitsubishi Outlander. Fortunately, that's something we can help with here at Nielsen Mitsubishi.
Pricing and Warranty Coverage
Like any value-conscious shopper, finding the right vehicle at the right price is essential to you. Fortunately, our newest Mitsubishi models have been among the best value options out there for Rockaway Township shoppers for years now, and the new Mitsubishi Outlander is no exception. While pricing can vary depending upon which trim you opt for, the new Mitsubishi Outlander is one of the most cost-effective models on the market, often clocking in at a more affordable price point than the Kia Sorento.
Plus, you'll save more in the long run thanks to the generous Mitsubishi New Vehicle Limited Warranty at your disposal. With a 7-year / 100,000-mile anti-corrosion warranty and five years of roadside assistance with unlimited mileage, the new Mitsubishi Outlander offers better coverage than its rival.
Interior Amenities
Both the new Mitsubishi Outlander and Kia Sorento are on relatively even footing when it comes to interior space. Both can be had with three rows of seating that comfortably accommodates up to seven passengers, making them great for growing Newark families. However, when it comes to standard interior amenities, the new Mitsubishi Outlander actually has the new Kia Sorento beat. With a larger standard instrumentation display, power lumbar adjustment for the driver's seat, and onboard voice controls, you'll get more bang for your buck with the new Mitsubishi Outlander than the Kia Sorento.
Safety Features
When it comes to safety features, both the new Mitsubishi Outlander and Kia Sorento come relatively well-equipped. Both can be had with smart safety tech like forward collision mitigation, lane keeping assist, side blind zone alert, and much more. However, in IIHS testing, the Mitsubishi Outlander was rated as a Top Safety Pick+, while the Kia Sorento only earned the Top Safety Pick rating.
Performance Specs
If there's one category in which the new Kia Sorento has a slight edge, it's power. With a little over ten more standard horsepower than the Mitsubishi Outlander, the Kia Sorento is better in a sprint. However, what it sacrifices for that marginal increase in speed is efficiency. The Mitsubishi Outlander handily beats it in both highway and city fuel economy, so it's great for folks from Hackettstown who want to spend less at the pump.
Towing Capacity and Cargo Space
Both the new Mitsubishi Outlander and Kia Sorento can confidently tow up to 2,000 pounds, though the Mitsubishi Outlander offers standard Trailer Stability Control that the Kia Sorento lacks. The major difference between the two comes in overall cargo space. With up to 79.7 cubic-feet of luggage space, the Mitsubishi Outlander trumps the roughly 75 cubic-feet of luggage space offered by the Kia Sorento.
