The 2025 Sorento is available in multiple trims with distinctive designs, ensuring something for every preference. Striking exterior paint options include Jungle Green, Dawning Red, and Midnight Lake Blue, enabling personalization to match your style. Its clean lines are complemented by sporty accents and Kia’s iconic “Tiger Nose” grille, flanked by LED projector headlamps with signature Star Map animation. The introductory LX trim is anything but basic, bringing fine details like positioning lights and heated side mirrors with integrated turn signal indicators. The S trim steps up the attitude with 18-inch gloss black alloy wheels and matching accenting, while the EX goes above and beyond with 20-inch wheels, LED fog lights, and a smart power liftgate, enhancing style and utility. The distinctive X-Line and X-Pro body styling for a rugged, trail-ready appearance. Boasting 8.2 inches of ground clearance, high-utility roof rails, brawny matte black body elements, and standout badging, they exude off-road capability. High-end trims feature subtle luxuries like rain-sensing wipers, power-folding side mirrors to prevent dings, and a panoramic sunroof, proving the Sorento to have both elegance and a thirst for the wild.

The Sorento brings 2 potent powertrains to the table. The standard 2.5L 4-cylinder engine generates 191 hp and 181 lbs.-ft. of torque, offering smooth, efficient performance. For more robust power, a turbocharged 2.5L 4-cylinder delivers an exhilarating 281 hp and 311 lbs.-ft. of torque with a kick of acceleration. Both engines utilize Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) and Multi-Port Injection (MPI) for optimal combustion and fuel efficiency. Paired with either an 8-speed automatic or an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, the Sorento achieves seamless power delivery.

Built for versatility, the Sorento features a steel unibody construction and independent suspension—MacPherson struts up front and a multi-link setup in the rear—creating a balance of rigidity and comfort. With up to 8.2 inches of ground clearance, the Sorento easily handles off-road paths and rugged trails. Advanced all-wheel-drive options include torque-vectoring AWD which distributes power to the wheels that need it most, and adaptive AWD with a center-locking differential for utmost confidence on diverse terrains. Hill Start Assist and Downhill Brake Control prevent the pickup of unwanted speed and giving a boost when necessary. Selectable driving modes adapt to conditions with choices like Smart, Eco, and Sport to your more vivacious moods. The Sorento’s 4,500-lb. towing capacity, available on turbocharged AWD configurations, makes hauling gear or trailers a breeze.
