Refined, rugged and roomy, Kia's Sorento SUV remains as capable as ever for the 2019 model year, touting a number of visual and feature enhancements, inside and out.
Beautifully proportioned, the Sorento retains its refined and rugged exterior look, but a subtle facelift now gives Kia's popular crossover a tighter, sharper appearance. The revised front-end is headlined by a more artfully detailed radiator grille flanked by a new headlamp configuration, which offers full-LED lighting on upper trims.
Spacious and sophisticated, the Sorento's cabin maintains a premium look and feel thanks to an array of upgrades and enhancements, including a new, more tactile steering wheel, new shifter knob and a revised instrument cluster with improved graphics. The makeover also includes alterations to the air vents and the center console design.
Sorento offers standard 40/20/40 second-row folding seats and 50/50 third-row folding seats now come standard on all trims, providing space for up to seven passengers.
The spirited drive experience is brought to life with a choice of two proven engines, including a 2.4-liter inline-4 GDI or a 3.3-liter V6 GDI. For 2019, the 2.0-liter turbo I-4 will no longer be offered as part of Sorento's powertrain strategy. However, a new diesel engine with the latest emission controls is under development.
The carryover 2.4-liter engine is mated to a revised and more efficient electronically controlled six-speed automatic gearbox featuring Sportmatic shifting and delivers a capable 185 horsepower. The Sorento's familiar V6 brings with it a stampede of 290 horses while connecting to a newly available 8-speed automatic transmission. The result is a noticeably smoother and more seamless interaction between engine and transmission. This pairing also helps Sorento deliver a towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds when equipped with AWD.
