2013 Kia Sorento Review


The Kia Sorento is a modern utilitarian vehicle from the Korean brand and is one of the most value-for-money offerings in the market at present. The SUV gets two powertrain options, a fuel-efficient 2.4-liter I-4 motor and a more powerful  3.5-liter V-6 motor for better performance and increased towing capacity.

The 2013 Kia Sorento is one of the most modern SUVs currently available in the market. The three engine options available provide great overall performance, especially the 3.5-liter V6 engine. The base engines provide great fuel economy but are not at all quick in acceleration. The interior in this Kia is well laid out and provides great comfort with the standard features available from the base variant itself. It starts at a base price of $24,000 and can move up to $32,000 for the top trim. Hence the Sorento competes with the likes of Chevrolet Equinox and the Toyota Highlander. 

Pricing and Features
6.0/10


The new Kia Sorento is available in three trim options, namely LX, EX, and SX. The LX trim is available at a price of $24,000 and gets great features right from the base trim. The EX trim is available at a price of $28,000 and adds in more comfort features. The top SX trim is available at a higher price of $32,500 but gets a much more powerful V6 engine that generates comparatively higher power than the previous models. It also adds is third-row seating and a two-tone interior color scheme.

We Recommend

We would recommend opting for the EX trim if you are okay with the lower-powered 2.4-liter engine. We prefer the EX over the LX is due to the additional features like the automatic headlights, dual-zone automatic climate control. Leather upholstery and 8-way power driver seat. All this at a price of $28,000 which provides the best value for the money spent. If the 2.4-liter engine is less for your purpose, you can definitely go for the top trim which gets the 3.5-liter V6 engine.

Engine and Performance
7.3/10


The 2013 Kia Sorento is currently available in three engine options. The first two are the same 2.4-liter inline-4 cylinder but produce different output.

The first one generates 175 hp along with 169 lb-ft of torque, while the second which is gasoline direct-injection generates 191 hp along with 181 lb-ft of torque. The top trim gets a much more powerful 3.5-liter V6 which generates 276 hp along with 248 lb-ft of torque.

The Toyota Highlander is the most powerful in this comparison with 187 hp, while the Chevy Equinox generates 182 hp. The Kia Sorento is one of the slowest in the competition with 0-60 mph covered in 9.2 seconds. These vehicles in comparison are not particularly quick either, with the Chevrolet Equinox taking 8.7 seconds and the Highlander taking 9.6 seconds. The Kia also has a lower top speed of 118 mph, while the rest two tops out at 130 mph.

Fuel Economy
7.0/10


The lower-powered base engine is fairly decent on fuel consumption. The 2013 Kia Sorento provides a mileage of 21 mpg in the city which improves to 30 mpg on the highway. Thus we get a combined fuel economy of 24 mpg from the Kia Sorento. The SUV also has a fuel tank capacity of 18 gallons which gives it a maximum range of 540 miles.

The Kia is the most fuel-efficient vehicle in this comparison. It is followed by the Chevy Equinox with a combined mileage of 23 mpg. Lastly, the Toyota Highlander sits at the bottom in this segment with a much lower combined mileage of 17 mpg. But the Highlander has the largest fuel tank capacity of 19.2 gallons which balances out the range.

Interior
7.4/10


The Kia has always been known for well-designed interiors that give a premium feel. The 2015 Sorento is nothing different and provides a plush and comfortable interior. The seats are well-bolstered and get cloth or leather upholstery.

The seats are power adjusted and the top trim gets a two-tone color scheme. There is enough space to accommodate 5 passengers in the base trims, while there is an option to add a third-row seating top to increase the passenger-carrying capacity to 7.

How is the 2013 Kia Sorento’s infotainment system?

The infotainment system in the 2013 Kia Sorento is equipped with decent standard features like Bluetooth connectivity, sound system, CD player, satellite radio, audio jack, iPod interface, and USB ports.

Along with that, the top trims adds a much better 10-speaker Infinity surround-sound system along with HD radio. The multimedia can also be controlled through voice commands which is a pretty good touch.

Exterior
6.5/10


The exterior design of the 2013 Kia Sorento is as attractive as the interiors. The modern design of the Kia looks attractive and unique with its honeycomb grille in the front with the LED headlights placed around it.

The Sorento weighs around 3,845 pounds which is comparatively lighter than the rivals. It gets heated mirrors, automatic headlights, and LED tail lights among many other features that make the exterior attractive.
