2025 Kia Sorento
$33.365-$48.765
At a Glance
HIGHS
Two engine choices, agreeable road manners, practical interior.
LOWS
Some rivals offer more third-row space, maximum towing capacity is less than rivals, off-road gear only available on top model.
VERDICT
While not as roomy inside as the larger Telluride, the Sorento makes up for it with a broader lineup of powertrains and options.
Overview
Mid-size SUV shoppers who wander into a Kia showroom these days are spoiled for choice. Not only is there a three-row Telluride and electric EV9, but you'll also find the 2025 Sorento, which serves a similar mission with three rows of seats, a practical cabin, and plenty of curb appeal. A nonturbo four-cylinder and front-wheel drive are standard. All-wheel drive is optional, as is a punchy 281-hp turbocharged four-cylinder. A rugged X-Pro trim sits atop the lineup and offers more off-road capability. Two hybrids are also offered-one a plug-in with up to 32 miles of electric driving per charge, but we review the Sorento Hybrid separately. The entry-level models don't penalize you for being on a budget, and Kia packs each Sorento with a competitive list of standard features, including wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a suite of driver-assists, and plenty of other conveniences. With all this praise, one might think there's no reason to pay more for a Telluride, but the Sorento's third row isn't as spacious as its big sibling’s, and its cargo hauling and towing capabilities aren’t as robust either. But if you're in the market for a mid-sizer with a third row intended for occasional use, the Sorento could fit the bill.
What's New for 2025?
Hybrid and plug-in hybrid Sorentos adopt the updated exterior styling and interior upgrades that debuted on the nonhybrid models for 2024. The nonhybrid model carries over to 2025 with no changes.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
The price of the 2025 Kia Sorento starts at $33.365 and goes up to $48.765 depending on the trim and options.
LX: $33,365
S: $35,965
EX: $39,465
SX: $43,065
EX X-Line: $43,165
SX X-Line: $44,865
SX Prestige X-Line: $47,765
SX Prestige X-Pro: $48,765
We like the EX. It's pricier than the base Sorento, but it comes with nicer amenities, including faux-leather upholstery, heated front seats, parking sensors, and a larger 12.3-inch infotainment display.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
The Sorento has two engine options and is available with front- or all-wheel drive. A 191-hp 2.5-liter inline-four-cylinder engine is standard and a 281-hp turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder is available too. Both pair with an eight-speed automatic transmission and the hybrid model uses a six-speed automatic. We drove a top-of-the-line SX trim with the turbo-four and appreciated its noticeable thrust, but we wish the powertrain felt more responsive off the line. The same model delivered poised handling, a nicely isolated ride, and firm brake-pedal feedback. The X-Pro trim comes only with the turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder and gets a center locking differential, 17-inch wheels, and all-terrain tires.
0-60-MPH Times
While we haven't tested the facelifted Sorento yet, we suspect the 60 mph times we've recorded on previous model year variants will still apply. We estimate that the most powerful turbocharged trims will be capable of a 6.0-second run to 60 mph and that the nonturbo Sorentos could need as long as 9.6 seconds to hit the same speed.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
The Sorento's interior has an attractive layout, nice materials, and solid build quality. The dashboard is bookended by two upright air vents but is otherwise simplistic in its design. Ambient lighting is smartly incorporated into the cabin and stitched surfaces on the door panels and seat inserts provide an upscale appearance. ...
