Kia Sorento Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2012–2020) — Second Generation Restyling
The restyled second-generation Kia Sorento is a five-door SUV built for families who want space, comfort and a choice between economical diesel motoring and smoother petrol power, with two or all four wheels driven.
The Kia Sorento engine range pairs petrol and diesel character to different needs. A 2.4 gasoline unit with an automatic gearbox, offered in front-wheel and rear-wheel drive forms, suits relaxed road use, while the 2.2 diesel with a manual transmission and all-wheel drive favours pulling power and long-distance economy.

Kia Sorento trim levels sit on top of the mechanical package rather than replacing it. The 2.2 diesel automatic with all-wheel drive, for instance, was sold as New Comfort (2015) and New Luxe (2015), so the same powertrain can arrive with noticeably different interior and convenience equipment.
