NEW KIA SORENTO (2025) - EXCITED FAMILY SUV!

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Kia Sorento presents a compelling option in the mid-size SUV segment, offering a broader range of powertrains and features than its larger sibling, the Telluride. While its third row and cargo capacity are not as generous as some rivals, the Sorento compensates with agreeable road manners, a practical interior, and appealing styling. The reviewer highlights two engine choices: a standard 191-hp four-cylinder and a more potent 281-hp turbocharged option, both paired with an eight-speed automatic. The top-tier SX Prestige X-Pro trim, equipped with the turbo-four, AWD, a locking differential, and all-terrain tires, is noted for its poised handling and isolated ride, though powertrain responsiveness off the line could be improved. The Sorento is praised for its standard features, including wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, making it a well-rounded choice for families needing occasional third-row use.
