2025 Toyota 4Runner i-FORCE MAX has the lower recorded consumption at 8.4 L/100km; 2025 Kia Sorento SX 2.5T is listed at 10.2 L/100km. Test cycle, temperature, wheel size and charging conditions can materially affect these results, so only figures measured on the same basis should be treated as directly comparable.
Dimensions, cargo space and towing
2025 Toyota 4Runner i-FORCE MAX provides the larger quoted cargo volume: 680 litres versus 616 litres, a difference of 64 litres. 2025 Toyota 4Runner i-FORCE MAX carries the higher towing rating at 2,722 kg, while 2025 Kia Sorento SX 2.5T is listed at 2,268 kg. 2025 Toyota 4Runner i-FORCE MAX is 60 mm longer overall.
