The New Sorento – Performance and Looks

The Kia Sorento has been given a makeover. It’s more than just a refresh, with all-new body styling, a redesigned interior, and a new hybrid engine option.

This SUV looks sleek enough to be at home on the city streets, but it also has the features to make it down that dirt road to your favorite hideaway off the beaten track.

The increased off-road capability of the 2021 model is due partly to increased ground clearance, giving you more room to get over those rocky roads. When the going really gets tough, you’ll appreciate the available all-wheel-drive option.

When you’ve got a lot of stuff to bring with you, or need to bring along the camper trailer, the Sorento is more than capable, with a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds.

The interior of the Sorento has also been upgraded, with new digital instrument panel displays and other enhancements. With seating for 7, there’s plenty of space to bring the whole crew along with you. The middle row captain’s chairs add a level of comfort normally reserved only for the front seats, and optional leather adds to the feeling of luxurious quality.

With 8 USB chargers, nobody will have to deal with a dead phone. If looking at the phone while moving isn’t your thing, you can watch the world go by out the panoramic sunroof.

The Sorento is packed with safety features, too. Blindspot collision warning keeps you safe when you forget to check your blind spot. Rear cross-traffic collision avoidance acts as a second pair of eyes when you back out of a parking spot or in the road. The adaptive all-wheel drive mode constantly monitors the road conditions and makes adjustments to keep you as safe as possible.
