Greetings,

The Kia Sorento and the Hyundai Tuscon are not siblings. It's the Kia Sportage and the Hyundai Tuscon that are essentially the same. The Sorrento and the Hyundai Santa Fe are siblings, although their drivetrain layouts and frames differ. They share the same motors (3.5L V-6 here in the U.S.) and are of similar size and capacity, but the Sorento is primarily rear wheel drive while the Santa Fe (I believe) is primarily front wheel drive.

Cheers - Jonathan

KIA and Hyndia are Sister companys, so yes they would be.
