2025 Kia Sorento Hybrid SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2025 Kia Sorento Hybrid is a three-row compact SUV that seats up to six passengers (the second row features captain's chairs). It's available in EX and SX Prestige trim levels. Both are powered by a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine paired with hybrid componentry and a six-speed automatic transmission. Combined output is 227 horsepower. The EX comes standard with front-wheel drive and offers optional all-wheel drive. The SX Prestige comes standard with AWD. Keep reading for our rundown of the Sorento Hybrid's significant features and options.

EX
Comes well equipped with:

  • LED headlights
  • Hands-free liftgate with height adjustment
  • Keyless entry with push-button start
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Synthetic leather upholstery
  • Heated front seats
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration
  • Navigation system
  • Six-speaker audio system
  • Wireless phone charger

Standard advanced driver aids include:

  • Forward collision warning with automatic braking (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Blind-spot intervention (automatically steers the car back into its lane if you try to change lanes while a car is in the vehicle's blind spot)
  • Rear cross-traffic warning with automatic braking (warns you if a vehicle behind you is about to cross your path while you're in reverse and can brake for you if needed)
  • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
  • Front parking sensors

SX Prestige
Adds to the EX's long list of standard equipment with a few more features, such as:

  • Leather upholstery
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Power-adjustable passenger seat
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Bose premium audio system
  • Household-style power outlet
  • Blind-spot camera (displays an image of the vehicle's blind spot in the instrument panel when you activate a turn signal)
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Sorento Hybrid and its surroundings for tight parking situations)

Both trims of the Sorento Hybrid offer an optional panoramic sunroof.

Which Sorento Hybrid trim does Edmunds recommend?

The EX trim comes with enough standard features to satisfy most buyers, including navigation and wireless phone charging. And it offers all-wheel drive as a stand-alone option, diminishing the need to step up to the SX Prestige trim, which has standard all-wheel drive.
