2021 Kia Sorento Review

In 2002, Kia debuted the Kia Sorento as a refined and family-friendly compact SUV. Over the years, this model has grown and changed into a midsize crossover, but its bold soul has remained unchanged. Now, the 2021 Sorento is here and ready for you to take it out on the open road.

Our team at Andy Mohr Kia is here to give you a sneak peek of what our Avon, Indianapolis, and Plainfield, IN, friends can expect to find in this all-new Kia Sorento.

A Completely Redefined Exterior

The 2021 Kia Sorento has undergone some exterior styling changes that make it quite the showstopper amongst its predecessors. Instead of the soft, curvy previous model, the new Sorento takes a more aggressive boxier stance. Its square silhouette is accented by bold styling and assertive details, letting the road know you’re ready for action.

Additionally, this model takes a wider stance with an expanded wheelbase. This not only shows that this Kia is ready to pounce, but it also creates more comfort and passenger space in the cabin.

Thoughtfully Appointed Powertrains

Of course, the most important aspect of any vehicle is its engine. A more robust motor can create a more enjoyable drive, and that’s exactly what you’ll get in the 2021 Kia Sorento.

Under the hood, you’ll find an available 2.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine delivering 281 horsepower to your morning drives. All-wheel drive is optional with this powertrain for more traction and control through a range of driving conditions.

With such a well-crafted interior, you’re sure to want to spend some more time behind the wheel, so the Sorento offers a hybrid motor to keep you exploring for longer. This 1.6-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine is mated to an electric motor for a total output of 227 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque.
