2019 Kia Sorento Reviews SummaryIf I said you could get a stylish, even luxurious, midsize SUV made in America that offers a class-leading warranty and roadside assistance program, supplies plenty of room for a family of four, and will protect your loved ones with top crash-test ratings, would you be interested? If so, then you’ll want to learn more about the 2019 Kia Sorento. | |
2020 Toyota Highlander Reviews SummaryMidsize three-row SUVs are all spacious and powerful, but only the Toyota Highlander reaches the premium threshold for passenger comfort. Redesigned for 2020, the Highlander's revised styling and technology are secondary to its silent operation, soft ride, and cosseting interior. The upper trims feel and drive just like a Lexus, without the upcharge. There is nothing exciting about a Highlander, and yet, there is no other SUV in the $35,000 to $50,000 range that feels so effortless and tranquil. | |
