With its roomy accommodations, practical utility, and rugged yet classy style, the Kia Sorento is one of the most appealing models in the midsize crossover class. Fully redesigned just last year, the fourth-generation Sorento sees refinements to every aspect of the driving experience, including an attractive and upscale cabin, abundant amenities, and numerous powertrain options. And with its convenient physical footprint, Sorento is perfect for Sacramento drivers seeking a versatile family mover with city-friendly maneuverability. Here's a quick look at three things that make Sorento a compelling choice for your next SUV.
Advanced Safety Features
The 2022 Kia Sorento offers an extensive selection of advanced driver-assistance technologies that provide an extra degree of confidence and convenience for your daily drives. Even better, many are included as standard equipment, including:
- Forward Collision Avoidance-Assist (FCA) w/ Pedestrian Detection
- Driver Attention Warning w/ Leading Vehicle Departure Alert
- Lane Departure Warning w/ Lane Keeping and Following Assist
- High Beam Assist
And by stepping up just one trim level, Roseville families can add additional driver aids like Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist. We're big fans of the available Blind-Spot View Monitor—an innovative camera system that shows a feed of the corresponding blind spot in the digital gauge cluster when the turn signal is activated.
Powertrain Options
The 2022 Sorento is available with four capable powertrain options, allowing you to select your ideal blend of performance, efficiency, and value. LX and S models are powered by a responsive 2.5-liter four-cylinder (191 horsepower, 181 pound-feet of torque) paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. EX models and higher get a turbocharged boost to 281 hp and 311 lb-ft and a dual-clutch automatic transmission.
Two electrified versions are also available. The Sorento Hybrid (available in S and EX trims) pairs a 1.6-liter turbo-four engine with an electric motor, producing 227 and achieving an EPA-estimated 37 mpg combined. The Sorento Plug-In Hybrid (SX and SX Prestige trims) features a larger electric powertrain (261 horsepower) and a 13.8-kWh battery that enables an estimated 32 miles of electric-only range.
Spacious Versatility
The Kia Sorento is a three-row crossover with seating for eight (or seven with available second-row captain's chairs) and lots of small-item storage solutions in all three rows. If you don't need the extra seatbelts, the third row folds flat to provide 38.5 cubic feet of cargo space, or up to 45 cubic feet by sliding the second row all the way forward. And when you need maximum carrying capacity, you can fold the second row out of the way for up to 75.5 cubic feet.
