kia's new sorento has arrived, and we now have pricing for the redesigned mid-size suv. the 2021 kia sorento starts at $30,560 for the base lx model, representing an increase of $2450 compared with the 2020 model's base price. because the previous sorento's lowest-priced l trim level is no longer part of the lineup, though, prices for equivalent models are more in line with last year's. the new sorento hybrid starts at $34,760 and the top sx prestige x-line model with awd and a more powerful turbocharged engine is $43,760.
the 2021 sorento's lower models, the lx and the s ($33,060), come standard with front-wheel drive and a 2.5-liter inline-four with 191 horsepower. the ex ($36,160) has a turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-four with 281 horsepower, as does the top sx ($39,160). all-wheel drive is an $1800 option on all of these models, and the sx model offers a $2600 prestige package with desirable features such as cooled front seats, a heated steering wheel, and an upgraded audio system. the sx also offers a rugged-looking x-line appearance package on awd models.
a hybrid version of the sorento is new for 2021, and it starts at $34,760 for the s trim level and $37,760 for the better equipped ex. it's offered only with front-wheel drive and is rated to deliver 37 mpg combined by the epa.
all 2021 sorentos come standard with a third row of seats; the seven-passenger lx and s have a second-row bench, while the six-passenger ex and sx have second-row captain's chairs. all sorento hybrids have the captain's chairs.
