Everything You Need to Know Before Buying a New 2025 Kia Sorento in Joliet, IL

The Sorento seats up to seven with standard 50/50 split-folding third-row seats. Select trims offer second-row captain’s chairs, which reduce seating to six but make the third row easier to reach, and they slide forward at the touch of a button.

Available genuine leather trim comes in colors such as Sage Green and Olive Brown, and class-exclusive acoustic laminated glass keeps the cabin quiet. You get up to 72.1 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded, plus an available Smart Power Liftgate with Auto Close for hands-free loading.

Available 24-inch combined panoramic displays join a 12.3-inch touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster in one sweep, with over-the-air updates to keep the system current. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ come along, as do available Digital Key 2.0 for keyless entry and remote start from your phone and an available 12-speaker Bose® Premium Audio System.

Comfort options include heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear outboard seats, a heated steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control and a panoramic sunroof. Connected features include Find My Car and Remote Start & Climate Control through the Kia Access app, an integrated Wi-Fi hotspot and multi-device Bluetooth® connectivity.

The Sorento offers two main engines: a standard 2.5-liter four-cylinder for strong everyday driving and a turbocharged 2.5-liter, available on most upper trims, that makes 281 hp and 311 lb-ft of torque with an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic. Properly equipped, it tows up to 4,500 pounds.

Torque-vectoring all-wheel drive is optional or standard on select trims. The X-Pro and X-Line add roof rails, 8.2 inches of ground clearance, all-terrain tires and blackout trim, so the Sorento is at home on city streets, snowy highways and unpaved paths beyond Joliet.

Kia Drive Wise includes standard Auto Emergency Braking with Pedestrian, Cyclist and Junction Turning Detection, Lane Keeping Assist and Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go. Available upgrades include Blind-Spot View Monitor, which shows live video of your blind zone in the gauge cluster, and Highway Driving Assist 2.

Other systems include Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, a 360° Surround View Monitor, Safe Exit Assist and 9 airbags, including rear side-impact airbags. Many features are standard, with more available on higher trims.
