Kia Sorento vs Holden Captiva 7 Comparison

Compare Captiva 7 vs Sorento
Are you wondering "Which is the best option for me, a Sorento or Captiva 7?"
For the same money, there's actually quite a few differences, so we thought we'd put the Sorento 2.4 LX AWD up against the Captiva 7 3.0 AWD, so you can see them side by side.
What's the same
The RRP is currently the same for both vehicles, but they are very different vehicles. Both the Sorento and Captiva offer AWD, a towing capacity of 2,000kg (braked), and have the flexibility of 7 seats if required.
What's different
A main difference between these two is the engine size, however the current generation Captiva 7 has been around for almost a decade, while the latest Sorento was released earlier this year with a brand new chassis system, meaning the Sorento has been built with the latest technology, with better handling, safety features and comfort.
