The 2018 Kia Sorento has seven different trim levels that offer a wide range of features. These features include style, high-end technology, and power to drivers. The trim levels available include the L, LX, LX V6, EX 2.0T, EX V6, SX, and the SX Limited. Here are some features that you can look forward to finding in the different trim levels.
Power
The Kia Sorento comes standard with front-wheel drive but has the option of getting all-wheel drive on all the trims except the L trim.
There are three different engines that you can get with the different trims. The first engine is a 2.4-liter DOHC with 16 valves and four cylinders. This engine gets 185 horsepower and comes with the L and LX trims. The 2.4-liter engine gets approximately 21 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway. The all-wheel-drive (AWD) mileage is 21 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway.
The next engine that is available with the Kia Sorento is a V6 3.3-litre DOHC engine with 24 valves. It gets 290 horsepower, and its mileage is 18 mpg in the city and 21 mpg on the highway. This engine is on the LX V6, EX V6, SX, and SX Limited trims. The mileage for the AWD is the same for the LX V6 and EX V6 trims, but changes to 17 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway on the SX and SX Limited trims.
Finally, the EX 2.0T trim has a turbocharged 2.0L DOHC with 16 valves and four cylinders. The horsepower is 240, which puts you right between the 2.4-liter and 3.3-liter for power. The mileage is 20 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway for the front-wheel-drive (FWD) and 19 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway for the AWD.

High-End Technology
A UVO with a seven-inch touchscreen display infotainment system comes standard with EX 2.0T and EX V6 trims. There is also an option to add this system to the LX and LX V6 trims.
