5 Innovations of the 2025 Kia Sorento

With seating for up to seven, flexible cargo space, and a choice of two capable engines, the 2025 Kia Sorento is a favorite among families. This midsize SUV isn’t just comfortable and capable, however. It also includes plenty of innovative features that make driving safer and more convenient.

1. Smart Cruise Control

When traffic slows down on the highway, there’s no need to cancel the Sorento’s Smart Cruise Control. Unlike standard cruise control, this system detects the vehicle ahead of yours and regulates your speed automatically to keep a safe distance. Smart Cruise Control can even bring your Sorento to a complete stop, then resume when traffic starts moving. You can also use this system in conjunction with Lane Following Assist, which adjusts your steering to keep you within detected lane markers.

2. Kia Connect

Every new Sorento includes a complimentary subscription to Kia Connect, which unlocks a range of safety and convenience features. Using the Kia Access app, you can remotely locate your vehicle, lock its doors, or start its engine. You can also receive a notification on your phone if an occupant is detected in the rear seats after the doors have been locked. If an airbag deploys in your Sorento, 911 Connect can automatically send your location to emergency agents.

3. X-Pro Capability

The Sorento’s eight trim levels offer something for every lifestyle, and the X-Pro SX Prestige is perfect for adventure lovers. It’s the Sorento’s most capable model, with standard Torque-Vectoring All-Wheel Drive, all-terrain tires, and an increased 8.2 inches of ground clearance. It also adds high-utility roof rails and a towing capacity of 4,500 pounds, so you can bring along all the gear and equipment you need for any journey.

4. Blind-Spot Collision Warning

Advanced blind-spot detection technology is included in the Sorento to help you avoid a collision with a vehicle in an adjacent lane. On the road, you’ll see a visible warning if there’s a vehicle in your blind spot, and an audible warning will sound if you signal a lane change. This system can even detect oncoming vehicles when you’re exiting a parallel parking space, so you can get onto the road safely every time.

5. Adaptable Cargo Area

With the Sorento’s flexible cabin, you can choose the exact amount of cargo and passenger space you need for the day’s tasks. There’s 12.6 cubic feet of space behind the third-row seats for most daily errands, plus a dual-level cargo floor with more storage underneath. The second- and third-row seats fold along either a 50/50 or 60/40 split, so you can easily make room for up to 75.5 cubic feet of equipment, furniture, or gear.
