Sponsored 2021 Kia Sorento: Adventure-Ready

After a challenging year of remote work/school and sheltering in place, your family’s probably in need of a change of scenery. The all-new, totally redesigned 2021 Kia Sorento arrives just in time to bring a sense of adventure back into family life — in a socially distanced and responsible manner, of course.

The 2021 Sorento is a three-row SUV that can easily handle a road trip through a national park or a grocery store visit in a snowstorm. With its go-anywhere capabilities, this fourth-generation, mid-size crossover emboldens you to revisit the great outdoors with your entire crew safely and comfortably along for the ride. Think of the new Sorento as your stylish and comfy mobile bubble.

Innovative New Safety Tech

Drivers have enough to worry about. A lot can happen in that split second you take your eyes off the road: A pedestrian can dart out from behind a car, another vehicle can swerve into your lane, a motorcycle can enter your blind spot. The Sorento’s got you covered with an impressive lineup of next-level standard and available safety features that help get you home safely and without incident¹:

• Forward Collision Avoidance is like having an extra set of eyes on the road in front of you. FCA sends an alert if a car, bicycle or pedestrian is dangerously close. If you don’t respond in time, FCA safely brakes the car for you.
• Intelligent Speed Limit Assist adjusts your Smart Cruise Control based on info gathered from local speed limit data so you can always follow the rules of the road — and avoid getting tickets in speed traps!
• Blind View Monitor is a live video feed of your blind spot that appears when you hit the turn signal. This greatly reduces the likelihood of turning right into a bicycle or pedestrian you might not see in your mirrors.
• Passenger Safe Exit Assist lets passengers know when it’s unsafe to open the door or try to get out of the vehicle.
• Rear Occupant Alert system reminds you if a small child or pet has accidentally been left behind in the vehicle.

Make Your Getaway in Style

Sorento features the most spacious interior in its class. This means that everyone gets a little bit more elbow room, which drastically reduces the potential for that sibling rivalry to escalate into full-scale car combat. The 5+2 seating format comes standard, but the available second-row captain’s chairs have armrests to provide a buffer between cranky kiddos. The back rows quickly and easily convert to lots of storage space if you’re lugging around gear instead of children.

The cabin has large touchscreens² and wireless support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto³ so everyone stays connected, informed and entertained. Music playlists and podcasts are right at your fingertips. Multiple USB charger ports ensure that everyone’s devices are powered up and ready to go. Available convenience features include:

• 10.25-inch touchscreen with navigation
• Eight USB chargers and front wireless charger
• One-touch panoramic sunroof

Forge Your Own Path

Adaptive all-wheel drive constantly monitors road conditions, delivering enhanced traction and control⁴. Snow Mode reduces wheelspin in snow and ice. The AWD X-Line trim adds another inch of clearance for off-road excursions. You can also select drive modes for fuel efficiency (Eco), endurance (Comfort) and driver engagement (Sport).

Whether you’re traveling over mountain passes or across desert plains, you can drive with confidence knowing Sorento will power through inclement weather and dicey road conditions to help you reach your destination.

Power Forward

Choose from Sorento’s new direct-injection or available turbocharged powertrains — both backed by Kia’s best-in-class 10-year/100,000-mile limited warranty⁵. Sorento’s also available with a front-wheel-drive hybrid powertrain if you’re looking for best-in-class fuel economy (EPA-estimated 39 mpg in the city)⁶.
