Powertrain Options
The 2024 Sorento offers four powertrains: the 2.5L with 191 hp for everyday use; the 2.5T turbo with 281 hp and dual-clutch transmission (DCT) for those wanting more dynamics; the hybrid version with 227 combined hp and excellent economy (39 mpg city); and the PHEV version with 261 hp and 33 miles of pure electric range. This versatility is hard to find in a single model.
Three Rows of Seats
The Sorento's third row is functional for shorter adults or children, with practical access thanks to the second row seat that tilts and slides. With all three rows in use, the trunk is compact (12.6 ft³), but folding the third row expands it to 38.7 ft³ — enough for daily family use.
Kia Warranty
Like Hyundai (same group), Kia offers 5 years / 60,000 miles basic and 10 years / 100,000 miles on the powertrain — peace of mind that is hard to surpass.
Who is the 2024 Sorento for?
For families of 5 to 7 people who want quality technology, efficient propulsion options, and solid warranty, without breaking a reasonable budget.
