About 2022 Kia Sorento


4.1

Overall Rating

Coming fresh off a massive facelift from last year, the 2022 Kia Sorento returns with some small tweaks to make it more feature-loaded than ever. The 2022 Sorento gets a new PHEV sibling that is also a part of the 2021 Rebelle Rally. With prices starting at $29,490 for the base LX trim with FWD and topping out at $43,090 for the range-topping X-Line SX-P AWD, the 2022 Sorento locks horns with the likes of the Hyundai Santa Fe, Toyota Highlander, and Volkswagen Tiguan.

Coming fresh off a massive facelift from last year, the 2022 Kia Sorento returns with some minor tweaks for this year. The 2022 Sorento gets a new PHEV sibling that is also a part of the 2021 Rebelle Rally. In terms of the other changes, the 2022 Sorento gets a standard 10.25-inch touchscreen with navigation and telematics on all models above the S trim. The X-Line appearance package makes its way into the EX and S trims. The SX-P trim gets the most changes as it gets standard memory seats with 14-way power adjustment, thigh extender, and rear heated captain’s seats.

Mechanically speaking, the Sorento remains unchanged from last year and you will still see a variety of powertrain options on offer. The Sorento continues to come with a 3,500 lbs towing capacity and gets no further changes neither on the inside nor on the safety front. With prices starting at $29,490 for the base LX trim with FWD and topping out at $43,090 for the range-topping X-Line SX-P AWD, the 2022 Sorento locks horns with the likes of the Hyundai Santa Fe, Toyota Highlander, and Volkswagen Tiguan.

Amongst the various trims on offer, we recommend you going in for the EX trim, as it gets a powerful engine and also adds a lot of features to the list. Also, its interiors feel more upmarket when compared to the lower trims. Hence, it offers the best balance between price and features when you talk about a mid-size seven-seater carrier.

Pricing and Features
8.5/10


The 2022 Kia Sorento is available in the same 5 trims as last year but in 2 of its trims, the EX and S trim, get the X-Line appearance package. The 2022 Sorento lineup starts from $29,490 for the base LX trim with FWD and tops out at $43,090 for the range-topping X-Line SX-P AWD. The five trim levels for the non-hybrid model include - LX, S/X-Line S, EX/X-Line EX, SX, SX-P/X-Line SX-P. All the X-Line models come standard with AWD.

The SX-P trim is the one that benefits this model year as it now comes standard with memory seats with 14-way power adjustment, thigh extender, and rear heated captain’s seats. All trims above the S variant also get a standard 10.25-inch touchscreen with navigation and telematics as well. All prices mentioned below exclude a  $1,175 destination fee that Kia charges separately.

Engine and Performance
8.0/10


 The Sorento's powertrain is a bit of a mixed bag, but the driving dynamics are solid - Road Show.

The 2022 Kia Sorento remains mechanically unchanged from last year and which is why, you will find a 2.5-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine as standard, instead of the 2.5L naturally aspirated one. Nevertheless, this mid-size crossover ought to have a bigger V6 engine for the impressive capabilities it offers. The turbocharged unit puts out 281 hp and 311 lb-ft of torque, which when mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission sends all of the power to the front wheels, or in some trim cases, all the wheels.

Apart from this, the 2022 Kia Sorento also comes in with a hybrid powertrain and a newly introduced PHEV model. Powering it through is a 1.6L turbocharged hybrid unit capable of putting out a measly 180 hp. In lieu of these latest engines, the Sorento also faces flak when it comes to towing capacity, as the 2022 Sorento now only has 3,500 lbs of towing capacity.

The power unit of the Kia Sorento seems to be potent enough firstly, for itself and secondly, to stand up against the competition it faces in the market. Acceleration-wise too, the Sorento does the 0-60 MPH run in just 7.2 seconds. In terms of competition, the Volkswagen Tiguan with the least power figures of the lot is also evidently the slowest of the lot from 0-60 MPH.

Fuel Economy

Kia and Hyundai offerings are more often than not known for their fuel efficiency. Since engines powering the 2022 Kia Sorento are the same as that of last year's model, fuel efficiency will be the least of your concerns.

Considering the remaining three vehicles, the Tiguan is the most frugal SUV of the segment, as even though it delivers the same 25 MPG combined figure, the 15.9-gallon fuel tank takes it across the line. It leaves behind the Toyota Highlander and the Korean siblings, grabbing first place with a decent margin.

The Kia Sorento might not have the best ground clearance in its segment but this can also be seen as an advantage as the loading height for cargo is optimum at its given height. The makers of this vehicle have also kept in mind that the Sorento is more of a family SUV rather than an off-roader, hence we can cut it some slack for its not-so-bad ground clearance.

Both the Santa Fe and the Sorento are Korean cousins and share a lot in common. Both cars have a lot of similarities but their target audiences seem a bit different. This can be seen in the luxury offered to the build, fit, and finish of the cars. But the Santa Fe provides more interior space than the Sorento while the Sorento is a better car to drive than Santa Fe. The Sorento is based on a new platform that will drastically improve the dynamics of the car which might mean an all-around package for the owners. 

2022 Kia Sorento vs 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan

The Volkswagen Tiguan is also a very close match to the Kia Sorento in terms of everything but the Kia manages to outpace the VW in everything for the current generation. The Tiguan is meant relatively for some spirited drives and the power delivery is very linear. The steering is responsive and the body roll is controlled very well by the suspension. The newer Sorento is expected to outshine the VW in every way possible! However, the Tiguan is expected to receive a major update as well to rival its competitors.
