2025 Kia Sorento

The 2025 Sorento offers a commanding exterior presence across a range of trims, each refined for specific tastes. The base LX trim delivers functional sophistication, while the elevated S trim introduces gloss-black 18-inch wheels and roof rails. At the pinnacle, the rugged X-Pro trim shines with matte black wheels and all-terrain tires, embodying a true adventure-ready style. Blackout trim elements accentuate both the X-Pro and X-Line models, complementing unique exterior badging that underscores Sorento’s character. A new Star Map LED lighting design marks the front, enhancing visibility and visual appeal, while up to 8.2 inches of ground clearance empowers Sorento’s capacity for off-road exploration.

Beneath its refined surface, the Sorento houses engines that deliver both efficiency and strength. Standard models are powered by a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, capable of producing dependable performance with impressive fuel economy. For those requiring more power, a turbocharged 2.5-liter engine is available, unleashing an impressive 281 horsepower with 311 lb-ft of torque. Mated to an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, this turbo engine is optimized for smooth acceleration and confident overtaking. Whether traversing city streets or backcountry trails, the Sorento's engines provide the flexibility to adapt to any journey.

The 2025 Sorento is engineered to take on both rugged terrain and smooth highways with confidence. The available torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive (AWD) system monitors road conditions, dynamically distributing power between the front and rear wheels to ensure stability and traction across diverse surfaces. Select trims feature Drive Mode Select with a dedicated Snow Mode, empowering drivers to navigate challenging weather and conditions with ease. For those who seek a heightened off-road experience, the X-Pro trim is equipped with all-terrain tires and enhanced ground clearance, ready to tackle a variety of landscapes. Complementing its powerful stance, Hill Start Assist and advanced downhill control ensure controlled descent, making Sorento a steadfast companion on demanding roads.

Inside the Sorento, a spacious and meticulously designed cabin offers room for up to seven passengers. Premium materials create an inviting ambiance, while optional second-row captain’s chairs add a touch of luxury, allowing for effortless access to the third row. Sorento’s available 24-inch combined panoramic display showcases navigation, entertainment, and smartphone integration with seamless ease. Heated and ventilated seats, along with an available Bose® 12-speaker premium audio system, elevate comfort and sound quality for every passenger. Ample cargo space, enhanced by the flexibility of split-folding third-row seats, makes room for both people and belongings. A smart power liftgate, which senses the key fob's proximity, simplifies loading, enhancing convenience for all adventures.

Safety is at the core of the 2025 Sorento’s design, with a suite of driver-assistance technologies engineered to protect occupants. Standard Auto Emergency Braking with pedestrian, cyclist, and junction-turn detection scans the road ahead, actively assisting to prevent or reduce collision risks. Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist adds an extra layer of security when changing lanes, while Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist aids in reversing, automatically engaging brakes if obstacles are detected. The available Surround View Monitor provides a 360-degree perspective for navigating tight spaces with precision. Additionally, Sorento’s Full Display Digital Rearview Mirror offers an unobstructed view of the road behind, ensuring visibility even with a packed cabin. Nine strategically placed airbags enhance peace of mind, offering comprehensive coverage across all three rows.
