Specs for all generations of Kia Sorento

Kia Sorento is classified as a mid-size SUV. It offers both two- and three-row seating options, while full-size SUVs strictly have three rows.

Kia Sorento 3.5 V6 is among the most powerful in the model range, with an output of 249 Hp and 336 Nm of torque. This is enough to accelerate the vehicle from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.8 seconds (0 – 60 mph: 7.4 seconds) and to a top speed of 210 km/h (130.49 mph).

Kia Sorento vehicles with the highest output are the 3.3 GDI variants, taking the lead with being able to produce 290 Hp and 342 Nm of torque.

Full hybrid Kia Sorento options are included in the most recent fourth generation of the model.

Kia Sorento is available in a variety of seating configurations – 5, 6, and 7. 7-seat versions are being offered in all model generations, with the exception of the first one (both pre-facelift and facelift).

Kia Sorento vehicles, especially those equipped with an all-wheel drive, are definitely suitable for all weather conditions and some light off-roading, but taking into consideration their suspension and ground clearance, wouldn’t be the best choice for heavy off-road conditions.

The majority of owners report no serious unexpected issues with their Kia Sorento vehicles in terms of reliability. They say it’s comfortable, spacious, well-performing even at an entry level, and great value for money overall.
There seem to be, however, more common problems with recent 2021 Kia Sorento vehicles, affecting transmissions and driver assistance features.
