Kia Sorento 2020 vs Porsche Macan 2018
| Gearbox: | Automatic | Automatic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 2.2 Diesel | 2.0 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Kia Sorento) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Porsche Macan) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles. For more information, see the article "Diesel or Petrol: Fuel Economy and Key Differences." | |||
| Camshaft drive: | Timing belt | Timing chain | |
| Timing belt usually needs to be replaced more often than the chain, but it is usually significantly cheaper. Timing belt motors are generally quieter and less vibrating than chain motors. | |||
Performance | |||
| Power: | 201 HP | 252 HP | |
| Torque: | 440 NM | 370 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | n/a seconds | 6.7 seconds | |
| Kia Sorento engine produces 51 HP less power than Porsche Macan, but torque is 70 NM more than Porsche Macan. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | no data | 7.4 | |
| Fuel tank capacity: | 67 litres | 65 litres | |
| Read the article "Fuel Efficiency: How to Reduce Fuel Consumption" to learn more about fuel economy. | |||
Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | Front wheel drive (FWD) | All wheel drive (AWD, 4x4) | |
| Ground clearance: | 176 mm (6.9 inches) | 300 mm (11.8 inches) | |
| Because of the higher ground clearance, Porsche Macan can perform better on bad roads - it can go over higher obstacles and bumps. At the same time, the higher ground clearance can reduce stability and handling on paved roads, especially at higher speeds. | |||
Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 480'000 km | 350'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used, but under equal conditions the average life of a Kia Sorento engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 5 years | 11 years | |
| Engine spread: | Used only for this car | Installed on at least 2 other car models, including Audi A6, Audi A7 | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Porsche Macan might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | yes | no | |
| The Kia Sorento engine has hydraulic tappets (lifters), providing quieter operation and no need for periodic adjustment, but they are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in case of failure. | |||
| Porsche Macan 2018 2.0 engine: This engine, while more reliable than previous versions of the EA88 series, still has several characteristic issues. The main problems include:
Timing chain stretching. The chain typically lasts around ... More about Porsche Macan 2018 2.0 engine | |||
