Which Sorento trim does Edmunds recommend?
We think the sweet spot in the 2022 Kia Sorento lineup is right in the middle. The S trim packs a lot of features, especially with this year's addition of the larger touchscreen and navigation system. It's definitely the way to go for value. But if you want more power, the EX is a modestly priced upgrade that adds the turbocharged engine plus a lot more goodies.
