Looking Under The Hood
The power output of these two SUVs is nearly identical, with a variation of only 10 horsepower and matching torque output. But the Outlander wins the battle of the fuel economy over the Sorento, adding to the desirability of those who want great space and comfort without spending more on gas. The Outlander also offers an exceptional option to increase the functionality of this SUV with All-Wheel Control in this typically front wheel drive selection. The added feature provides driving modes that include Tarmac, Gravel, Snow, Normal, Eco, and Mud for added peace of mind in challenging conditions. These features are much appreciated when heading into less traveled spaces and taking full advantage of the nearly one and a half inches of added ground clearance provided by the Outlander for more fun exploring the roads and trails less traveled.
Comparing The Interiors
The size comparison between these two SUVs is as similar as the engine output, being within an inch or so for most categories, which the average buyer would consider unnoticeable. Comfort and capacity are similar, with each offering the capability to customize the interior space to accommodate two or three rows of seating. In 2025, the Outlander features a redesigned center console for added functionality, a smoother ride thanks to suspension upgrades, and more sound-deadening material for a quieter and more enjoyable ride for passengers.
More Tech Updates In The Outlander
Mitsubishi has upgraded the technology in the 2025 Outlander to include a Yamaha audio system with concert-quality sound, as well as new driver-assist features as part of the standard safety suite. This suite includes traffic jam assist, speed limit assist, and added lane centering capability. Drivers also love the optional 12.3 inch configurable driver info screen that can provide turn by turn navigation and an option to have a heads up display on the SEL Touring model.
Added Value From The 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander
The 2025 Outlander comes with a complimentary maintenance package that includes two years or 30,000 miles of service for your new SUV, which Kia does not offer for the Sorento. The significant figure that will turn most heads and capture the attention of buyers is that the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander is priced approximately 10% lower than the Kia Sorento. Please stop by White Bear Mitsubishi to learn more about the features you can add to your 2025 Outlander to ensure you are headed home to Burnsville, Hastings, or Woodbury in your dream SUV at the most reasonable price and with the only free maintenance plan offered on an SUV in this category.
