Kia Sorento Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2017–2021) — Third Generation Restyling
The restyled third-generation Kia Sorento is a family-sized SUV 5-doors model that pairs a roomy, flexible cabin with a choice of petrol and diesel power, offered with front- or all-wheel drive depending on the version.
Each Kia Sorento engine is matched to an automatic transmission, so the differences you feel come mainly from fuel type and drivetrain. The 2.4 AT petrol with all-wheel drive is smooth and quiet around town, while diesel versions such as the 2.2 AT front-wheel drive and the 2.0 AT with all-wheel drive pull strongly at low revs for towing and loaded motorway trips.
SUV 5-doors — Kia Sorento Engines and Transmissions
Kia Sorento trim levels sit on top of a given technical version rather than changing it: the 2.4 AT petrol with all-wheel drive, for example, appears as Comfort and Luxe. Comfort covers the practical everyday equipment most families need, while Luxe adds convenience and interior appointments. Check the specification of the individual car, since equipment varied by market and model year.
