The Kia Sorento is a vehicle designed to fit your unique lifestyle. As a five-seat mid-size crossover, it’s larger than many other vehicles in that category but smaller than seven-seat SUVs, making it a nice balance of space and maneuverability. With five different trim levels, the Sorento also offers a lot of variety in terms of features and pricing. If you’re having trouble deciding between them, keep reading to learn more.
Kia Sorento L
This trim has a very reasonable MSRP of $25,990 and does not offer any optional packages, which can be good if you’re looking to keep things simple. The four-cylinder engine, six-speed automatic transmission, and front-wheel drive will work just fine for your day-to-day driving needs. The standard features include all of the basics and a few nice extras, such as Android Auto or Apple CarPlay compatibility, a rearview camera, and a 7-inch UVO infotainment screen. If you’re looking for simplicity and don’t need all-wheel drive or extra power, this is a good choice.
Kia Sorento LX
Unlike the L, the LX has a few more options that you’ll be able to choose from, including the ability to add all-wheel drive. You can also include a convenience package, which offers a lot of favorites such as heated seats, satellite radio, and dual-zone climate control.
Also available is what Kia calls the LX V-6 option, which bumps up the engine power and throws in dual-zone climate control and a power-adjustable driver’s seat. The LX V-6 trim has an MSRP of $31,290 and offers its own convenience package for an additional cost. If you’re planning on doing any kind of towing or just like a little extra power beneath your foot, you’ll probably want to consider this trim.
Kia Sorento EX
From the EX upward, the V-6 engine is standard, but the all-wheel drive will still cost extra. This trim also starts to pack on the luxury features, many of which are included. Leather upholstery, heated front seats, and satellite radio will improve your driving experience while safety features, such as forward collision warning, emergency braking, and lane-departure warning, will help keep you safe.
You can even upgrade this trim further with the EX Touring package. This will get you a nicer sound system, a larger UVO screen, a heated steering wheel, a sunroof, and more.
Kia Sorento SX
The SX comes standard with most of the features that were included in the EX Touring package. It also has its own Touring package that adds ventilated front seats, a surround-view camera, xenon headlights, and more.
Kia Sorento SX Limited
Last but not least is the Kia Sorento SX Limited. This contains all of the features of the SX as well as 19-inch chrome-clad wheels, upgraded upholstery, heated second-row seats, and wood trim. There are no upgrade packages. What more could you want in here?
As you can see, the Kia Sorento offers an abundance of trims for any budget or needs. If you need more assistance making your decision, your friendly neighborhood Kia dealer is always here to help.
