2022 Kia Sorento | Features & Specs

What's New For the 2022 Kia Sorento?

After receiving a full redesign last year, the Sorento returns for 2022 with minimal changes.

2022 Sorento Trims & Features

The base LX trim is a great bang for the buck. It comes loaded with many of today's hottest features, including an 8.0-inch touchscreen display with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone connectivity.

If you desire a sportier look, move up to the S trim. It also adds a customizable 10.25-inch touchscreen with navigation and heated front seats.

Drivers looking to explore the rough backcountry will love the X-Line S AWD trim. While its raised suspension ensures maximum ground clearance, a torque-vectoring AWD system with a locking center differential promotes optimum traction. Not only is this trim more suitable for traveling off-road, but it also has a more rugged exterior.

Another step up the trim ladder is the Sorento EX. It brings Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control, which automatically adjusts your speed when approaching curves. A Smart Power Liftgate and a wireless phone charger are also found on the EX trim. While the Sorento X-Line EX AWD trim is similarly equipped, it's more rugged.

Featuring LED projector headlamps and a one-touch panoramic sunroof, the SX trim allows you to experience a few more premium features. Folks who desire more luxury can step up to the leather-appointed SX Prestige. It adds a 12-speaker Bose sound system, ventilated front seats, and a fully digital gauge cluster. Another option is the trail-ready X-Line SX Prestige trim, which features a raised suspension.

2022 Kia Sorento Horsepower

Many people enjoy the Sorento's standard 2.5-liter engine. It pushes out a competitive 191 horsepower. Drivers seeking maximum performance can upgrade to a turbocharged version of this engine. Output increases to an exciting 311 horsepower. Along with the extra muscle comes a special dual-clutch automatic transmission.

Kia Sorento Safety

The new Sorento offers an impressive list of modern security and safety features. Standard Rear Occupant Alert helps parents to remember about children and pets sitting in the back. Valuable Kia Drive Wise technologies also come standard, including automatic emergency braking and driver attention warning. Meanwhile, available Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist helps identify approaching vehicles in the next lane.
