The Kia Sorento and the Ford Edge are two mid-size SUVs. Both the Sorento and Edge come with front-wheel drive or optional all-wheel drive. While the Sorento is a three-row SUV that can seat seven, the Edge is a two-row SUV for five people max.
In the horsepower department, the Kia Sorento is overpowered by the Ford Edge. The Sorento’s standard 185 horsepower engine comes up short, compared to the Edge’s standard 245 horsepower. For optional power, the Sorento offers an upgrade to 290 horsepower, but the Edge comfortably exceeds it with a maximum of 315 horsepower.
Comparing cargo space these two come out very close to each other. The Sorento has 73 cubic feet of cargo space when the second and third rows are folded. The Edge gives you 73.4 cubic feet behind the front row.
The choice between the Kia Sorento and the Ford Edge depends on where you stand on seating vs. power. If you need seating for up to seven people, then the Sorento is the logical choice. But if you’re more motivated by the engine power at your command, the Edge will deliver the performance you’re looking for.
