Is a Kia Sorento a crossover or SUV?
I’ve been browsing used SUVs online and noticed that some are advertised as crossovers and others as SUVs—but they look the same. I’ve got my eye on the Kia Sorento—which one is it?

Car terminology can be a little confusing! The
Kia Sorento
is a compact crossover SUV, so technically speaking—it’s both. The main difference between a crossover and other SUVs is the frame. A crossover’s frame and body are constructed as one piece in the same way that cars are. Traditional SUVs have body on frame construction like a truck—which means the vehicle’s chassis is built separately from the frame and later attached.
The Kia Sorento has unibody construction that makes it a crossover, but it’s a seven-seater, three-row vehicle with a higher driving position, which qualifies it as an SUV.
The starting price of a 2022 Kia Sorento is around $30,885 and we’re betting that you’ll want to keep an investment like this safe from harm’s way. Good
car insurance
is one of the best precautionary measures you can take to keep you and your vehicle safe on the road (plus your state likely requires it!). If you want to find the best Kia insurance costs
