2021 KIA Sorento LX

The 2021 Sorento is a midsize three-row SUV that takes on the Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander, and Ford Explorer. The Sorento drives with a composed, car-like feel, and the available all-wheel drive adds confidence in slippery conditions. Inside, the cabin offers comfortable seating for up to seven, with easy-folding second and third rows that expand cargo space quickly. Standard tech includes an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a full suite of driver-assistance features. Kia's strong warranty backs the Sorento, and owners report few major issues, though some note the third row is tight for adults. Fabric seats and a simpler 8-inch touchscreen set the Sorento LX apart from the trims above it, like the S with its premium cloth and the EX with leather. A 2.5L I4 under the hood makes 191 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque, paired with a eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive for confident all-weather traction.
