Comparison: Boot space Kia Sorento vs. competitors 2025

Kia Sorento - How has the boot space changed over the generations?

Since its introduction, the Sorento's boot has stretched and grown like a teenager in a growth spurt. Starting with the Sorento JC from 2002-2006, you could pack in a respectable 441 liters. By the time the Sorento XM rolled off the line in 2009, KIA nudged that number up to a roomier 531 liters. But why stop there? The geniuses at KIA amplified the cargo choir by expanding to a magnificent 660 liters in the UM model of 2015. And just when you thought they'd hit the roof, the Sorento MQ4 of 2020 now boasts an extravagant 705 liters without even folding the seats down – a number that balloons up to a mesmerizing 2100 liters once you do. For anyone keeping score, that's enough room to host a small dance party in the back.

The boot space compared to other Kia models

Now, in the pantheon of KIA models, the Sorento swaggers at the top like a proud parent at a kindergarten concert. It's the toast of the town, leaving the jaunty little Picanto and its 255 liters in the dust. Even the admirable Sportage, with its 591-liter boot, must bow down to the Sorento's superior stash space. Indeed, among its KIA kin, only the cavernous 7-seater Sorento holds dominion over the load-lugging leaderboard. In the KIA family, it's clear who wears the cargo crown.

How does the boot space of the Kia Sorento compare to it's nearest competitors?

Against its rivals, the Sorento flexes its muscles like a bodybuilder on beach day. Take the Peugeot 2008, for instance, trailing behind with a modest 360 liters, the Sorento's whopping 705 liters looms like Goliath over David. Even against chunkier foes – the Teutonic BMW iX1 and its 490 liters, or the stylish Alfa Romeo Tonale with its 500 liters – the Sorento simply smirks and suggests they come back when they can handle more than just a handful of grocery bags. All right, the Tesla Model Y puts up a fight with a hefty 854 liters, but the Sorento doesn't sweat it. After all, with its enormous expansion when the seats are folded, the Sorento maintains its status as a veritable titan of trunk space. And let's not forget, those numbers don't lie; they're backed by a tape measure and a pragmatic eye for cubic capacity.
