This is a large heavy vehicle and the high fuel consumption reflects that. Too big a foot print for me.
depends what your looking for, but its far from heavy in comparison. Its only 3" longer than the previous model and 4" shorter than a Highlander. Some base curb weight comparisons:
2016 Sorento - 3704 lbs
2015 Sorento - 3754 lbs
2015 Highlander - 4244 lbs
2015 Explorer - 4563 lbs
2015 Equinox - 3777 lbs
2015 Murano - 3794 lbs
But that is why the Sportage is available:
2015 Sportage - 3426 lbs
2015 CR-V - 3402
