2019 Kia Sorento vs 2019 Ford Explorer
A three-row SUV provides drivers with the spacious interiors they need to bring all of the passengers and gear they could possibly need from point A to point B in one trip. Perfect for drivers who prefer the performance and style of the SUV class over a traditional family hauler like a minivan, three-row SUVs are a no-compromise approach when blending family travel and on and off-road capability.
