2023 KIA Sorento X-Line SX Prestige

The 2023 Kia Sorento is a three-row midsize SUV that slots between the Sportage and the Telluride in Kia's lineup. It competes with the Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander, and Hyundai Santa Fe, offering a bit more space than the latter. The Sorento handles confidently for a three-row SUV, with responsive steering and a composed ride on most roads. Inside, the cabin is well-built and features a clean dashboard, available second-row captain's chairs, and a useful third row for occasional use. Standard tech includes an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a suite of driver assistance features. Stepping up to the X-Line SX Prestige from the X-Line EX adds the SX Prestige's premium interior touches, a larger touchscreen, and a 360-degree camera, plus the rugged X-Line styling and extra ground clearance. Under the hood, the 2.5L I4 makes 281 horsepower and pairs with a eight-speed automatic and four-wheel drive, so it pulls strongly when you need to merge or pass, and it returns 24 mpg combined. The X-Line SX Prestige is the only Sorento with a standard panoramic sunroof and ventilated front seats, which make long drives more comfortable.
