What’s New in the 2022 Kia Sorento?

The 2022 Kia Sorento is the newest model in the fourth generation of this compact crossover option. This generation debuted in 2020, and it features larger models than prior generations. The wheelbase is longer, and the length of the car is too. For the 2022 Kia Sorento, you have various trim options:

• LX
• S (available as Hybrid)
• EX (available as Hybrid)
• SX (available as Plug-in Hybrid)
• SX-P (available as Plug-in Hybrid)

The plug-in-hybrid versions are new for 2022 and exclusive to upper-tier trims. They use the same engine and transmission as the other hybrid option but come in all-wheel drive. The standard hybrid Sorento makes 227 horsepower and comes with front-wheel drive.

The basic setup consists of a gas-powered 191-horsepower four-cylinder, and you can option a 281-horsepower turbo-four. Either gas-only model uses an eight-speed transmission, while the two hybrids use a six-speed.

The hybrid Sorento is the most fuel-efficient, while plug-in variants can conserve fuel by relying solely on battery power. The other options are also respectable for such a sizable car.

Despite its efficiency and compact size, the 2022 Kia Sorento is an able hauler. It seats six to seven people comfortably in a whopping 144 cubic feet of passenger space. You also get a nice amount of storage in the cargo area, which can fold for improved figures. In front of you, you get a digital gauge screen and infotainment touchscreen system for streaming music and GPS from your smartphone. The Kia Sorento also looks attractive with its sleek steering wheel and rhombus air vents. The other great thing about the Kia Sorento is it can come ready to tow up to 3,500 pounds.

Beyond convenience, style, and performance, the 2022 Sorento is also safe. The 2022 Kia Sorento comes standard with both lane departure and forward-collision warnings, as well as automatic emergency brakes and rear-cross traffic alerts. While the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has yet to release scores for the 2022 model, other fourth-gen Sorento SUVs earned top safety ratings. You can feel good behind the wheel of a Sorento as you drive the streets of Killeen, TX.
