2019 Kia Sorento

Kia Motors America announced pricing for the 2019 Sorento SUV. Offered in five trim levels - L, LX, EX, SX and SX-Limited, the Sorento is a compelling offer with its base MSRP of $25,990 for the FWD L. Refined and rugged, the refreshed Sorento touts a number of visual and feature enhancements, including new front and rear fascias, which help achieve a more sophisticated appearance.

The Sorento interior is now decidedly more upscale and offers newly added technology, including available Driver Attention Warning, Lane Keeping Assist and a premium Harman Kardon surround sound audio system. And seven-passenger three-row seating is standard across all trims. In addition, the Sorento now pairs its available 3.3-liter V6 with a new, in-house-built eight-speed automatic transmission for an even smoother and more seamless driving experience.

Powered by a 2.4-liter inline-4 GDI, the $25,990 2019 Sorento L comes standard with a host of technology and convenience features, but most prominently enjoys a new seven-inch touchscreen audio head unit and a revised six-speed automatic transmission.

The FWD Sorento EX, starting at $35,590 FWD/$37,390 AWD, builds upon the LX V6 with newly-offered projection fog lights as well as Driver Attention Warning (DAW) and Lane Keeping Assist (LKA). Optional for the Sorento EX is Parking Distance Warning - Forward (PDW-F), an AVN 5.0 navigation system with support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and a Harman Kardon surround sound audio system.

Starting at $39,990 FWD/$41,790 AWD, the Sorento SX includes all of the new features found on the EX and also offers optional LED headlights with High Beam Assist (HBA) and Low Beam Assist (LBA). Other new standard equipment includes two-way powered lumbar support for the front passenger seat and a wireless phone charger. Parking Distance Warning - Forward (PDW-F), the AVN 5.0 navigation system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and a Harman Kardon surround sound audio system are all standard features on the Sorento SX.

The fully-loaded $44,690 FWD/$46,490 AWD Sorento SXL incorporates all of the new additions to the SX but includes LED headlights with High Beam Assist (HBA), Low Beam Assist (LBA) and LED fog lights as standard features (these are optional on Sorento SX).

A Magna Dynamax intelligent AWD system is available on any trim (except L) and features a 50/50 locking center differential and torque vectoring. This sophisticated AWD system helped Sorento tread its way through Moab’s treacherous Hell’s Revenge - one of the most challenging and obstacle-laden off-road trails in the world. The Sorento devoured the six-and-a-half mile rock-crawling trek including the ultimate obstacle known as Hell’s Gate.
