Trim Levels of the 2023 Kia Sorento

The 2023 Kia Sorento has eight trims, making it easy for you to select the features you want without wasting money on those you don’t need. Below, we have listed the eight trims from the least to the most expensive, highlighting their differences. 

Kia Sorento Basics

This vehicle is a 7-seater SUV with an eight-speed automatic transmission and a choice of front-wheel or all-wheel drive. It has been a mainstay of the Kia family since 2002.

New Features

There are no major changes from the 2022 lineup to report. Each trim got a little bit better, with a handful of new features being added to each.

The SX trim has received the most upgrades, with rain-sensing windshield wipers and power-folding exterior mirrors among the features that weren’t included last year. 

Trims

LX

All trims are powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, including the most affordable base LX model.

Plenty of safety features come as standard on all trims too. These include an anti-lock braking system, forward collision avoidance with pedestrian and vehicle detection, blind spot avoidance assist, electronic stability control, traction control system, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, and more.

S

Upgrade to the S trim, and your 8-inch touchscreen display from the LX model is upgraded to a 10.25-inch monitor with navigation and Kia Connect. You can also take advantage of the navigation-based smart cruise control, heated front seats, and a wireless phone charger.

On top of that, all models from the S trim upwards feature dual-zone automatic climate control. That’s going to be perfect for the erratic Maryland weather.

X-Line S AWD

The X-Line body styling brings the driver 1.3 inches higher, which can make all the difference when driving off-road, as can its all-wheel drive option. The stylish front and rear bumper design is a noticeable addition to the X-Line model too.

EX

Jump to an EX trim, and you’ll enjoy a significant horsepower boost with the turbocharged 2.5-liter engine. With a leap from 191 hp to 281 hp, you’re sure to feel the difference.

X-LINE EX AWD

If you want the EX trim with the X-Line body and an all-wheel drive option, it’s available to you.

SX

If you enjoy cruising through the streets of Frederick on a summer’s day, you’ll appreciate the option to open the panoramic sunroof on the SX model. It also features LED projector headlights for extra safety during those nighttime drives.

 The 4.3-inch instrument display on lower models upgrades to a 12.3-inch screen here, too. 

SX Prestige AWD

The upgraded interior of the SX Prestige trim will increase the comfort and luxury of your driving experience. You can expect leather-wrapped embossed seating, heated 2nd-row seats, a heated steering wheel, a Bose premium audio system with 12 speakers, a Homelink garage opener, and more. 

X-Line SX Prestige AWD

The SX Prestige with X-Line body design and all-wheel drive is the premium trim for 2023. If you want your Sorento with all the bells and whistles, this is the purchase for you. 

With these eight trims to choose from, there’s a Sorento available for everyone’s tastes. For a closer look at the various trims of this luxury SUV, visit us today at DARCARS Kia of Frederick to book a test drive.
