Performance
Sorento LX and S models are set in motion by capable and efficient 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine making 191 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission delivers swift and seamless shifts, whether you're navigating city traffic or need to get up to speed quickly for safe and confident highway merging or passing maneuvers. For enhanced sure-footedness in the snow, rain, or other lower-traction situations, a torque-vectoring AWD system with a center-locking differential and four drive modes is available for any trim.
Are you looking for more under-the-hood motivation to move your Princeton commute? Sorento EX and higher tiers add a turbocharger and sporty dual-clutch transmission, boosting output to 281 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque.
Kia Sorento Hybrid and PHEV
If fuel efficiency is a high priority for your next family mover, consider one of Sorento's battery-assisted options. The Sorento Hybrid is available in EX and SX Prestige configurations and equipped with a 1.6-liter turbo-four engine (227 horsepower, 258 lb-ft) that achieves an EPA-estimated 37 mpg with FWD or 34 mpg with AWD. Are you interested in exploring the EV lifestyle but not yet ready to commit to full-electric automobility? The Sorento Plug-in Hybrid (SX Prestige trim; EPA-est. 79 MPGe) leverages a larger electric powertrain to make 261 horsepower and provide an estimated 32 miles of electric-only range.
Interior and Utility
The Kia Sorento is pleasantly accommodating, with stylish and modern design details, quality materials, and comfortable and roomy seating. It comes standard with a second-row bench and seating for seven. However, if you don't require the extra seatbelt, you can equip second-row captain's chairs for an even roomier feeling cabin and more convenient third-row access. While the third row is mainly for kids, for quick trips in a pinch, average-sized adults should be able to fit with few complaints.
If you need to prioritize storage, the third row folds easily, expanding the cargo area to 38.5 cubic feet. And for adventures or errands requiring maximum carrying capacity, you can fold all rear seats to reveal a capacious 75.5 cubic feet.
Technology and Safety
The Kia Sorento facilitates safe and seamless connectivity while on the go. The standard 8-inch touchscreen includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for intuitive integration of useful smartphone features like hands-free calls and messages, Google or Apple Maps, streaming media, calendars, your phone's assistant, and more. However, step up just one tier, and you'll get a larger 10.25-inch display with advanced Navigation and conversational voice recognition.
