History/Overview

Kia entered the mid-size crossover market in 2002 with the then-new Sorento, and rolled out the fourth-generation model – which you’re reading about here -- in 2021.

What’s New/Key Changes From Last Year

Kia has not made any notable changes to the Sorento for 2023.

Available Trims

Kia offers the Sorento in LX+, LX Premium, X-Line, EX, EX+, and SX trim levels. All versions use a 2.5L four-cylinder engine, which adds turbocharging in X-Line and above for added performance. Non-turbo models have an eight-speed automatic transmission, and turbo versions get an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. All-wheel drive is standard across the line.

There are conventional gas-electric hybrid and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrains available, too, which are covered in separate buyer’s guide entries.

Standard Features

LX+ trim comes with 17-inch alloy wheels, auto on/off LED headlights with high beam assist, and passive keyless entry. Inside, there’s seven-passenger seating, heated front seats, an 8.0-inch touchscreen, six-speaker audio, dual-zone A/C, and wireless phone charging.

The Sorento’s basic safety package comprises lane keep/follow assist, forward collision mitigation, blind spot monitoring, rear parking sensors, and rear cross-traffic collision mitigation.

LX Premium gains 18-inch wheels, sound-reducing front door glass, a heated steering wheel, and a power driver’s seat.

X-Line gets 20-inch wheels, skid plates, roof rails, and six-passenger seating.

EX brings sport bumpers, synthetic leather upholstery, a power passenger seat, wood trim, satellite radio, an auto-dimming interior mirror, and an integrated garage remote.

EX+ gains LED fog lights and taillights, a panoramic roof, power-folding side mirrors, heated rear seats, rear door sunshades, a 10.25-inch touchscreen, satellite radio, adaptive cruise control, highway driving assist, LED cabin lighting, safe exit assist, rear occupant alert, junction turning assist, and front parking sensors.

Finally, SX gets rain-sensing wipers, remote-folding second-row seats, real leather upholstery, front-seat lumbar, ventilated front seats, a Bose stereo, digital gauges, a head-up display, a blind view camera, rear parking collision mitigation, and surround-view cameras.

Fuel Economy

Kia’s fuel consumption estimates for the Sorento are 10.1/9.2 L/100 km (city/highway) with the base 2.5L engine, and 10.9/8.7 L/100 km with the turbocharged motor.

Competition

The Sorento’s key competitors include the Honda Passport, Chevrolet Blazer, Subaru Ascent, Toyota Highlander, Ford Edge, Hyundai Santa Fe, and the Volkswagen Atlas.

Recall Information

Safety recalls issued by the manufacturer and Transport Canada for this vehicle model.

Recall #

Date

System Affected

Model Years

Manufacturer Recall #: RC219

Units Affected: 2284

Type: Safety Mfr

Details:

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the wiring harness for the blower motor may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, the wiring could overheat and melt. 
Note: This recall only affects Sorento LX+ models. 
 
Safety Risk: 
Wiring that overheats and melts can create the risk of a fire. 
 
Corrective Actions: 
Kia will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the blower motor wiring harness and the blower motor resistor.

Manufacturer Recall #: INC003

Units Affected: 647384

Type: Inconsequential

Details:

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the compliance label may be missing information in French. The words listed on the label for "Tires", "Rims", "Front" and "Rear" appear in English only, when they should be listed as "Tires/Pneus", "Rims/Jantes", "Front/Avant" and "Rear/Arriere". Canadian regulations require this information to be listed on the label in both English and French. 

Safety Risk: 
These small errors do not affect vehicle safety. 

Corrective Actions: 
This is not a recall. Kia has corrected the compliance label for all new vehicles.

Manufacturer Recall #: RC187

Units Affected: 10587

Type: Compliance Mfr

Details:

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the rearview camera mounting clips could fail. If this happens, the rearview camera could fall out of position and cause the rearview image not to display correctly. 
 
Safety Risk: 
A rearview camera image that doesn't display correctly could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash. 
 
Corrective Actions: 
Kia will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect the rearview camera housing, and replace it as necessary.

Manufacturer Recall #: RC185

Units Affected: 5146

Type: Compliance Mfr

Details:

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the airbag warning labels on the driver and passenger sun visors could peel off. Canadian regulations require information about the airbag system to be provided on the sun visors. 

Safety Risk: 
The airbag warning labels provide information about the airbags and child restraint safety recommendations. Not following these recommendations could create an increased risk of injury. 

Corrective Actions: 
Kia will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and replace the driver and passenger sun visors, as needed.
