Serving Highland, IN

The small Kia Sorento and the Sorento Hybrid crossover SUVs are closely named, but these three-row models are remarkably different. Our Thomas Kia of Highland team wants you to make a well-informed model selection and drive home in a vehicle you can thoroughly appreciate over the years. What should you be aware of about the Sorento and Sorento Hybrid as you prepare to make your purchase?

Performance

The 2024 Kia Sorento has two engine systems. The first two of the five trim levels have a 191-horsepower, 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine paired with front-wheel drive and an eight-speed auto transmission. The remaining trims have a turbo variant of this engine that generates 281 horsepower. This engine comes with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. All-wheel drive is standard with the X-Line and X-Pro trims. The 2024 Sorento Hybrid, on the other hand, has one powertrain for its two trim levels. This is a 227-horsepower, four-cylinder, turbo 1.6-liter hybrid engine. The base trim has front-wheel drive, or you can upgrade to all-wheel drive. The SX Prestige has standard all-wheel drive.

Appearance

The Sorento and the Sorento Hybrid have comparable side designs and individualized front styling. From the side view, you will find a tall, flat roof with a liftgate spoiler and raked side windows. Smooth definition rolls over the fenders. A large air intake is mounted close to the front fender, and the doors boast horizontal definition. Both come with a short, wide lower fascia on the nose and well-defined air inlets. They also both have a bow-tie grille design. On the Sorento, the tall headlights feature stacked bulbs, and an amber, two-sided LED bar, accompanies them. The Sorento Hybrid's headlights run horizontally at an angle, and they are underscored by a white LED ribbon that bends as it approaches the grille.

Features

The 2024 Sorento and Sorento Hybrid share several similar features. These include a household power outlet, a Bose audio system, a push-button ignition, a heated steering wheel, heated seats for the first and second rows, a panoramic sunroof, a 360-degree camera, a blind-spot camera, lane centering, a navigation system, a wireless charging station, and more.
