Porsche Macan 2018 vs Kia Sorento 2020
| Gearbox: | Automatic | Automatic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 2.0 Petrol | 2.2 Diesel | |
| Petrol engines (Porsche Macan) are generally quieter, smoother, and better suited for short trips due to quicker warm-up times. Diesel (Kia Sorento) engines, on the other hand, offer superior fuel efficiency and torque, making them ideal for long-distance driving and heavy loads.

| Camshaft drive: | Timing chain | Timing belt | |
| Engine chain usually needs to be replaced less often than the timing belt, but the cost of replacing the chain is usually higher. Chain motors are considered to be more reliable, but noisier and more vibration generating. | |||
Performance | |||
| Power: | 252 HP | 201 HP | |
| Torque: | 370 NM | 440 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 6.7 seconds | n/a seconds | |
| Porsche Macan engine produces 51 HP more power than Kia Sorento, but torque is 70 NM less than Kia Sorento. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 7.4 | no data | |
| Fuel tank capacity: | 65 litres | 67 litres | |

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | All wheel drive (AWD, 4x4) | Front wheel drive (FWD) | |
| Ground clearance: | 300 mm (11.8 inches) | 176 mm (6.9 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: | 350'000 km | 480'000 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: | 11 years | 5 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 2 other car models, including Audi A6, Audi A7 | Used only for this car | |
| 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: | no | yes | |
| 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:
