Kia Sorento

Power That Fits Your Pace

The Kia Sorento gives you two ways to move confidently through your day, thanks to its pair of 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engines. Whether you crave smooth consistency or turbocharged energy, each delivers the balance of strength and efficiency that modern families demand.

Each engine pairs with an 8-speed automatic transmission, and the available dual-clutch transmission system adds quick, confident shifts when merging, passing, or tackling winding backroads. Standard Drive Mode Select—with Comfort, Eco, Sport, and Smart modes—lets you adjust the Sorento’s performance to your surroundings and your sense of adventure.

Confidence That Carries You Far

Front-wheel drive comes standard, while available all-wheel drive (AWD) provides extra confidence on wet roads or dirt paths leading to your family’s favorite getaway. When properly equipped, AWD also increases the Sorento’s towing capacity from 2,000 to 4,500 pounds, ideal for small boats, campers, or weekend toys.

Whichever configuration you choose, fuel economy stays on your side with an EPA-estimated 23 city/31 highway MPG (FWD) and 23 city/28 highway MPG (AWD) rating, proving that capability doesn’t have to compromise efficiency.

Room for You, Yours, & Theirs

The primary reason for choosing a 3-row SUV like the Kia Sorento is, of course, practicality. You want enough room for you, your crew, and everything that comes along for the ride. Thoughtfully engineered, this family-focused interior ensures everyone has plenty of personal space, no matter where they’re seated.

Thanks to the standard one-touch sliding and folding second-row seats, a simple press of a button grants easy access to the 50/50 split-folding third row. And because with people comes stuff—sometimes lots of it—the Sorento is ready to accommodate it all. It offers a range of 12.6 to 75.5 cubic feet of cargo space.

The standard dual-level cargo floor lifts to reveal a hidden storage compartment, ideal for tucking away essentials like a first aid kit, reusable shopping bags, umbrellas, or kids' sports gear, keeping your belongings safe, organized, and out of sight. And when your hands are full, the available hands-free Smart Power Liftgate with Auto Close lets you access or secure the cargo area effortlessly, making every departure just a little smoother.

Warm Welcomes, Cool-Headed Departures

Of course, flexibility isn't just about space; it's about how every journey feels once you're underway. Since it’s a Kia, the Sorento makes room for kids, car seats, groceries, and your four-legged companion and ensures that everyone travels in comfort.

Seating surfaces come standard in cloth, with optional SynTex or genuine leather available. SynTex, Kia’s soft yet durable alternative, resists stains, cracking, and fading, making it ideal for families on the go.

Available comfort and convenience amenities include:

• 14-way power driver’s seat with power lumbar and thigh extension
• Heated steering wheel
• Heated and ventilated front seats
• Second-row captain’s chairs
• Heated outboard second-row seats
• Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control

The available panoramic sunroof opens the cabin to expansive light and views, creating an airy atmosphere that every passenger can enjoy.

And on those mornings when you’re juggling schedules and backpacks, the Sorento’s Remote Start and Kia Connect Climate Control pre-cool or pre-heat the cabin, so it’s ready when you and your crew are.

Plugged In, Tuned Together

As today’s families grow, technology continues to evolve to meet their needs. The Kia Sorento comes equipped with a wide array of infotainment features designed to keep you and your loved ones tuned in and connected to what matters most. With up to six USB charging ports across all three rows, everyone’s devices stay fully powered, perfect for keeping kids’ tablets streaming and playlists going mile after mile.

The standard 12.3-inch touchscreen display serves as your command center, providing seamless access to apps, maps, music, and more through standard wireless smartphone integration. Standard over-the-air updates ensure you’re always running the latest software, while the available 24.6-inch total combined Panoramic Displays with Navigation deliver a modern cockpit-like experience that’s as intuitive as it is striking.

You’ll enjoy a wireless phone charger and Wi-Fi Hotspot on all trims beyond the LX. Meanwhile, the available Digital Key 2.0 lets you use your smartphone as a virtual key to lock, unlock, and drive—no fumbling for the fob required. You can even share it with friends or family to lend access on busy days or during road trips without having to hand over a spare key.

Watchful by Design

The most important technologies are the ones that add peace of mind behind the wheel, especially when you’re transporting your most precious cargo. In the Kia Sorento, confidence comes standard with Kia Drive Wise, a suite of driver-assistance features that operates quietly in the background, helping you stay aware of your surroundings from every angle:

• Blind-Spot Collision Warning-Parallel Exit
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian, Cyclist, & Junction Turning
• Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist
• Lane Keeping Assist/Lane Following Assist
• Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go
• Driver Attention Warning with Leading Vehicle Departure Alert

Even once parked, the Sorento maintains its protective instincts. Standard Safe Exit Assist warns passengers of oncoming traffic before opening a door and can prevent it from unlatching until it’s safe. Standard Rear Occupant Alert adds another layer of security, providing audible and visual reminders if someone (or something) remains in the rear seat.
