Performance
Equip your Sorento with the available all-wheel-drive system for an enhanced grip on slippery Minnesota roads – especially during winter. To keep your SUV steady and surefooted in difficult situations, choose a model outfitted with the torque vectoring cornering control system, traction control, and stability control.
The Sorento also offers hill-start assist control to keep your SUV in place on steep inclines as you're transitioning between the brake and accelerator. If you choose the SX-Prestige, you'll be able to utilize the available paddle shifters mounted on the steering wheel.
Interior Features
The new Sorento offers six color and material upholstery options for its cabin, ranging from black cloth to perforated rust-colored genuine leather.
Choose the Sorento S to get heated front seats, dual-zone automatic temperature control, and durable synthetic upholstery. This trim level's standard LED interior ambient light sets the mood for your night drives. The Sorento S and higher trims offer 10-way power-adjustable driver's seats, but the SX adds an eight-way power-adjustable front passenger seat.
The SX-Prestige adds a heated steering wheel and a ventilation function to the front seats for a year-round comfortable space. At the EX level, you'll see open-pore wood or metal texture accents that give the Sorento's cabin a luxurious first-class atmosphere.
Technology
Each 2021 Kia Sorento features intuitive and entertaining technologies to take your drives to the next level. The available 10.25-inch floating touch screen on the dashboard allows you to connect your smartphone to your SUV for voice-activated access to many of your favorite apps and phone features. This screen's Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility lets you search for directions back home, call and text your family, and play the latest episode of your favorite podcast without ever having to pick up your phone. Throw in the available Bose premium audio system to give new life to your listening experience. Other technology features include eight available USB chargers, a wireless phone charging pad, Bluetooth wireless streaming, a remote engine starter, and an all-digital driver information display.
Safety Features
Some of the most impressive features the 2021 Sorento has to offer are its advanced driver-assist technologies. Use the blind-spot collision warning and avoidance assist to get a heads-up when a vehicle is lurking in your blind spot. The rear cross-traffic collision avoidance assist lets you know when it's safe to reverse out of a parking space. The forward collision-avoidance assistance system detects potential collisions ahead. The 360-degree surround-view monitor allows you to see all around your SUV, making maneuvering through tight spaces easier. These are just a handful of the features the Sorento utilizes to keep both you and your passengers safer.
Towing Capacity
If properly equipped, the Sorento LX and S can tow up to 2,000 pounds. The EX and higher can tow up to 3,500 pounds thanks to their stronger engine.
Exterior Features and Colors
The 2021 Sorento is offered in nine exterior paint colors, including Sapphire Blue, Passion Red, Crystal Beige, Aruba Green, and an assortment of metallic and neutral colors.
As you progress through the 2021 Sorento's trim levels, you'll get to enjoy even more exterior upgrades. Opt for a model equipped with premium LED lighting for better night vision and a striking presence, even in the dark. An available one-touch panoramic sunroof lets natural light into the cabin and offers a safari-like atmosphere, and the Sorento's roof rails allow you to pack your hiking or kayaking gear and luggage outside of the cabin. There are also multiple wheel styles to choose from, ranging from 17-20 inches.
