2021 Kia Sorento in Cranbrook, BC

The Kia Sorento is not the smallest SUV offered by Kia, but it might make the best use of its space compared to other SUVs. The Sorento is on the compact side of the mid-size category, but it manages to pull off three-row seating as a standard part of the vehicle’s identity.

But as the 2021 model year dawned early for Kia, the automaker felt the need to transform the Sorento. It’s still a crossover, and its size hasn’t changed much, but its design was rethought to bring it in line with the sensibilities of brand-new models like the Kia K5 and Seltos. This means more creative use of LEDs around headlights, a wider, shorter, blacker grille, and sharper lines across the entire front end. Aside from looking fresh, the 2021 Kia Sorento can deliver on the available features and according to the specifications in the chart below.
