Trim level differences
The 2024 Kia Sorento is a small three-row SUV available in five main trim levels: LX, S, EX, SX and SX Prestige. X-Line and X-Pro versions of certain trim levels are also available. There's also a Sorento Hybrid and Sorento Plug-in Hybrid, both of which are reviewed separately on Edmunds. Keep reading for our breakdown of the Sorento's most significant standard and optional features.
Which Sorento trim does Edmunds recommend?
While the top-tier X-Pro model still offers solid value for the price, we think the EX trim in the middle of the lineup is the way to go. It's well equipped with features like a turbocharged engine, heated seats and 20-inch wheels as well as an appealing mix of in-car tech.
