Deciding Which Kia Sorento Trim Level is a Great Fit for Your Lifestyle and Budget

For some folks, deciding which trim level is best suited for them is harder than actually coming to a decision on the vehicle. With so many features on the Kia Sorento, how can you decide which trim level has what you need. You could spend hours of your time reading window stickers when you visit our dealership, do a lot of research online to try and determine which trim is a great fit, or talk to one of the sales consultants at Southwest Kia.

Our sales team has an extensive knowledge when it comes to the Kia lineup of vehicles, so you can count on getting all of your questions answered if you are interested in the Sorento. Additionally, we can assist you without resorting to all of the high-pressure sales tactics that you may have experienced at other car dealers.

The Kia Sorento is currently available in eight trim levels:

• LX

Performance

The Kia Sorento comes available as a hybrid and a plug-in hybrid vehicle for those who want a driving experience that reduces their carbon footprint. When it comes to the gas-powered Sorento, drivers get to choose from two engines:

• Standard 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine (191 horsepower, 182 pound-feet of torque)
• Available 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine (281 horsepower, 311 pound-feet of torque)

There are also two transmission options when you opt to buy or lease a Kia Sorento. People can choose the standard eight-speed automatic transmission or go with the available eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard with the Kia Sorento, but the SUV does come available with all-wheel drive.

Interior/Cargo

You can count on comfort in all three rows of seating when you decide to buy or lease a new Kia Sorento. Some third-row options skimp on the third-row seating comfort, but that is not the case with this Kia model. All three rows have padded and supportive seats that can take you through the longest of car trips. Additionally, the available heated/ventilated front seats can keep you comfortable no matter what the temperature is outside.

The available panoramic sunroof is an excellent way to get the cabin illuminated with some natural light. Also, the ergonomic controls make for a comfortable way of getting at everything you want. Are you someone who needs cargo room? The Kia Sorento offers you up to 75.5 cubic feet of maximum cargo room. That is plenty of room for luggage and whatever else you need to take with you on your travels.

Technology/Safety

We know you want to experience a modern ride in your next SUV. The Kia Sorento can offer you that and a whole lot more. It comes standard with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, so connecting with loved ones and streaming your music is easy when you are in the driver's seat. Speaking of streaming music, the Sorento comes available with a 12-speaker Bose® Premium Audio System for true audiophiles. Some of the other intriguing tech features available in the Sorento include navigation, wireless phone charging, a 10.25-inch touchscreen, and a Smart Power Liftgate.

Safety and vigilance are two things that many drivers want assistance with when they choose their new SUV. Luckily, the Kia Sorento has many standard and available safety features and driver-assist technologies to support people when they are on the road. Some of the features you will find when you buy or lease one of these Kia SUVs are Auto Emergency Braking Technology, Lane Keeping Technology, Lane Following Technology, Blind Spot Detection Technology, and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist.
