The 2018 Kia Sorento offers refined utility and advanced technology, as well as a new convenience package for greater flexibility -- the LX Cool & Connected Package. In addition, a third-row seat is now standard on all 2.4L AWD and 2.4L LX AWD models.

With capable towing capacity, lots of room for passengers and their gear, along with an available turbocharged engine, the Kia Sorento features a strong body structure, smoothness, and the driving confidence to enable the active lifestyle CUV owners covet.

The look of the 2018 Sorento features a brawny, planted stance, communicating its edginess and rugged personality. The clean profile is easily recognizable as Sorento, enhanced with strong shoulders and a long hood to deliver a sleek aerodynamic appearance.

The seating system is designed to offer optimum comfort. For added luxury, Sorento offers heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, dual-zone climate control, and Kia's second-generation panoramic sunroof. Sorento also hosts optional premium Nappa leather trim seating surfaces.

Power comes from a choice of three engines; the 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine delivers 185 horsepower. The Sorento's 3.3-liter V6 makes 290 horsepower and enables towing up to 5,000 pounds when equipped with all-wheel drive. The Sorento's turbocharged 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder makes 240 horsepower, while also delivering commendable fuel efficiency. All three engines use a six-speed automatic gearbox.

Total cargo volume in the new Sorento is 74 cubic feet, while cargo volume behind the third row is 11 cubic feet. The easy-folding lever system allows various seating arrangements, flexible luggage space, and greater overall versatility.
