The 2021 Kia Sorento crossover finds a new look but the same mission: it’s the smaller hauler compared to the Telluride.
PROS Better style Available hybrid powertrains Bigger interior Telluride’s looks
CONS What’s with the door tooth? Is the second row more comfortable? Not appreciably bigger
The all-new Sorento is expected to make its debut at the Geneva auto show in March. Disguised and undisguised spy photos and several official images of the Kia have given us a pretty good idea of what to expect from the redesigned mid-size crossover. Its boxier proportions and bolder styling mark a stark departure from the curvier and softer appearance of the current Sorento. The Korean automaker has also said that the next-gen model will ride on an all-new platform that helps make it bigger inside and out. It will also feature a hybrid powertrain as well as an eventual plug-in variant.
Pros Spacious cabin, forgiving ride, generous list of standard and optional tech features.
Cons Four-cylinder could use a bit more power, boring driving dynamics, exterior styling isn't for everyone.
Pros Stylish, quiet and high-tech interior Roomy seating and a huge cargo area Added off-road capability with X-Pro trim
Cons Standard engine supplies leisurely acceleration Subpar fuel economy from this engine too
