At a glance, a Kia Sorento Hybrid feels like a smarter buy, dollar for dollar, than does a Toyota Highlander Hybrid. There’s plenty to be said in Toyota’s favor, but the Kia is more than $9,000 cheaper, while delivering comparable performance specs and good reliability. If you’re looking for the SUV that’s going to get you off the lot with more money in your pocket, it’s an easy choice to make.
