The 2018 Kia Sorento range of configurations is currently priced from $15,990.
Our most recent review of the 2018 Kia Sorento resulted in a score of 7.5 out of 10 for that particular example.
Carsguide Contributing journalist Peter Anderson had this to say at the time: The Sorento is a dead-set bargain for all the gear you get and takes the comfort and practicality route followed by the Toyota Kluger. Where it diverges from the Toyota is in adding a better ownership experience, with the surety of a long warranty, and by stacking the car with gear and safety equipment.

The 2018 Kia Sorento carries a braked towing capacity of up to 2000 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The Kia Sorento is also known as Naza Sorento (Malaysia), Pyeonghwa Ppeokkuggi 2405 (North Korea) in markets outside Australia.
The Kia Sorento 2018 prices range from $20,900 for the basic trim level SUV Si (4x4) to $35,970 for the top of the range SUV GT-Line (4X2) GSL.
The Acadia doesn’t boast a diesel engine, so economy could be an issue for your daughter; also it’s only a little longer than the Kia Sorento, so space could be another problem. A better choice would be the Mazda CX-9.

That's not easy to answer without knowing your situation in more detail, but if shopping new, I'd recommend the Sorento.
It's a fresher overall design with more smart thinking behind it, and a four-year longer factory warranty.
It offers the option of diesel if you prefer, but I'd be choosing the petrol for overall performance and refinement, with still decent real-world fuel efficiency. The petrol V6 Sorento is only available in two-wheel drive though.
Good luck, and keep us posted with your journey,

So many things affect road noise, which makes it difficult to fix. There’s the road surface itself, the tyres, and the noise insulation in the vehicle. The Honda CR-V might well be quieter, but could still be noisy on the roads you drive on. If the road noise is the thing that is making you switch vehicles, then it might be worth talking to a tyre dealer about a tyre that might be quieter than the ones on your Kluger. If you want to go down that road, you could try a Mazda CX-5 or CX-7, a Kia Sorento or Sportage, Toyota RAV4.
