The 2024 Kia Sorento emerges as an extremely well-rounded and affordable option in the realm of premium midsize SUVs. With its latest iteration, Kia has meticulously sculpted a vehicle that meets the evolving needs of modern families head on without ever compromising on design, comfort, and performance.
Rugged Yet Sophisticated Exterior
Kia's design philosophy, "Opposites United," is brought to life in the 2024 Sorento. The SUV's exterior is a harmonious blend of ruggedness and elegance, highlighted by the signature vertical Star-Map Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) and a bold, three-dimensional radiator grille. These elements, together with the refreshed rear design featuring vertical tail lamps and a wide rear skid plate, encapsulate the vehicle's adventurous spirit and upscale appeal.
Adding to this allure are the new color options, Jungle Green and Road Rider Brown, which complement the vehicle's dynamic silhouette. The introduction of the new X-Pro trim elevates the Sorento's adventurous capabilities with an enhanced towing capacity of 4,500 lbs, exclusive skid plates, a robust roof rack, and 17-inch wheels equipped with all-terrain tires, making it an ideal companion for those who seek the path less traveled.
Power and Performance Redefined
Under the hood, the Sorento continues to impress with its balanced performance. The LX trim features a 2.5-litre GDI engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, while the higher trims boast a more powerful 2.5-litre Turbocharged GDI engine with a wet dual-clutch transmission (DCT), ensuring a driving experience that is both exhilarating and efficient.
The X-Line and X-Pro trims further distinguish themselves with increased ground clearance and towing capacity, underscoring the Sorento's versatility and capability as a premium midsize SUV.
