2023 Kia Sorento Engine Options

The fourth generation of the Kia Sorento was launched in the fall of 2020. The new version of the SUV has been completely redesigned and is mounted on a completely new platform. The new platform provides more interior space and better driving stability in all terrains and conditions. The headroom has also been improved, and the hood was extended to give the new Kia’s flagship SUV a more aggressive look. The front fascia has been updated, the new “tiger nose” front grille and full LED headlights called “tiger eye” along with the LED taillights and rest of the design make the vehicle look strong and futuristic. The interior has also been improved, and it has a touch of luxury and comes loaded with technological features.

The 2023 Kia Sorento comes in 4 available engine options. The engine options will vary by trim level. The LX and S models are powered by an atmospheric 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine with 191 HP and 182 lb-ft of torque.  The EX, SX, SX Prestige, and SX Prestige X-line models are powered by a turbocharged 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine with 281 HP and 311 lb-ft of torque.
