2024 Kia Sorento First Impressions

　　What is the Sorento?

　　The Kia Sorento is the brand's second-largest SUV, sitting just beneath the full-size Telluride. Like the Telluride, the Sorento offers three rows of seating but in a slightly smaller package that works better for some families. No major changes are expected for the 2024 Sorento, before we could see a midcycle refresh that brings updated styling and possibly new features in 2025. As in previous years, we expect Kia to offer the Sorento Hybrid and Sorento Plug-in Hybrid, which are reviewed separately on zzdcar.

　　With styling inspired by its bigger sibling, the Sorento is a handsome SUV, especially when fitted with the X-Line appearance package. Its interior is plush, with many convenience features like heated and ventilated seats and a massive panoramic sunroof. The available tech is some of the best in the industry, with twin 10.3-inch displays now coming standard on most trim levels.

　　The Kia Sorento competes against SUVs like the Volkswagen Tiguan, Mazda CX-50 and Honda Passport. With its tech-packed interior and handsome styling, the Sorento stacks up nicely against these rivals. Having the option to seat up to seven passengers doesn't hurt either.

　　While the Telluride tends to get all of the attention, the Kia Sorento is an equally well-rounded SUV. If its smaller form factor works for your family, give it a look before committing to Kia's poster child SUV.
