Five Features You’ll Love About the Kia Sorento

Ever since it first hit the road, the Sorento has been proving itself year after year as one of the most impressive SUVs on the road. With its bold, beautiful style, remarkable power and performance, spacious and beautifully appointed interior, and terrific safety systems, the Sorento brings together everything we look for in a vehicle like this.

As your Kia dealer near Sevierville, you know we’re excited about the whole Kia lineup, but there’s something about the Sorento that grabs our attention a little faster. Let’s look at five of our favorite things about the 2025 Sorento, and you’ll see that these are the kinds of features you’ll love getting to make the most of each day.

#1 – An Incredibly Spacious Interior

There’s no better place to start with the Sorento than its interior. This is a three-row SUV, so you get a tremendous amount of room inside for a growing family or a big group of friends. Depending on how the seating is configured, you get seats for six or seven passengers (thanks to a pair of captain’s chairs or a bench in the second row). Everyone has plenty of room to stretch out in, too, with more than 41 inches of legroom for both the first and second row, plus nearly 30 inches of legroom in the back.

The 2025 Sorento’s spacious design is also ideal for loading up with everything you need to take with you before hitting the road and getting around Sevierville each day. You get more than 12 cu.ft. of rear cargo volume, nearly 39 cu.ft. of cargo space behind the second row, and more than 75 cu.ft. of total cargo room behind the front seats.

This makes it easy to have your whole family pile in, toss some stuff in the back, and get on the road without any extra hassles. The Sorento even has 2,000 lbs of standard towing capacity (or up to 4,500 lbs when properly equipped), so you can haul a trailer or boat behind you, too.

#2 – Rugged Power and Performance

That impressive towing potential doesn’t just happen by accident; it’s thanks to the powerful engine and rugged engineering that went into making this SUV. The engine in a vehicle like this might not be the first thing you look at, but it’s quite important since so much of your overall driving experience depends on it. Kia understands this, which is why they’ve given the 2025 Sorento a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine that provides 191 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. Of course, this is just the standard engine and the Sorento has more than that to offer.

If you go with a higher trim, you get a turbocharged version of this engine that boosts performance up to 281 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque. That’s a significant difference, which is why we suggest this available engine for our customers. It can improve your time driving around Sevierville daily.

While standard front-wheel drive is great, we particularly like the available torque vectoring all-wheel drive system and the incredible driving experience it provides. This is the perfect way to stay in control when driving on dirt and gravel roads or dealing with rain and other weather.

#3 – Fantastic Safety Technology

Having six people along with you when you hit the road is great; knowing that all of your passengers are protected by impressive driver-assistance technology is fantastic. Standard features for the 2025 Sorento include Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian, Cyclist, and Junction Turning Detection to help you avoid collisions and protect everyone else on the road. You get Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist standard, along with Lane Keeping Assist, Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go, and even a Blind-Spot Collision Warning to help keep you and your passengers safe.

Numerous available features let you take things even further, and you’ll find these on many trims, not only the highest level. These include a Blind-Spot View Monitor for added warnings about folks lurking in your blind spot, Front and Rear Park Distance Warnings, and Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist to help make getting in and out of parking spots easier. You can get a Surround View Monitor for enhanced visibility while maneuvering at low speeds, and Highway Driving Assist to make your daily commute and long road trips less stressful. All of this comes together beautifully to create a remarkably safe SUV.

#4 – Great Comfort and Convenience Features

When looking for a vehicle, you deserve to get something you’ll enjoy driving around Sevierville each day—comfort and convenience features make a huge difference. Standard features for the 2025 Sorento include push-button start with a Smart Key system that makes it easy to get in and get going, heated and power-adjustable side mirrors with turn signals incorporated into them, and air conditioning.

Most models come with dual-zone auto climate control to keep your passengers more comfortable, and you can get a 14-way driver’s seat with four-way power lumbar, ventilated front seats for added comfort, and interior LED lighting. Add in available genuine leather seating, leather-wrapped steering wheel, and shift knob, and you’ve got an SUV that you’ll look forward to hopping into each day.

#5 – Interior Tech to Take You Further

Along with those impressive comfort and convenience features, Kia gives you several other pieces of technology to enhance your time on the road. Standard features include a gorgeous 12.3-inch infotainment display that’s incredibly easy to use, letting you make the most of numerous apps, with support for over-the-air updates, plus wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Kia Connect is standard, giving you Remote Start functionality and even Pre-Cooling to ensure your Sorento is comfortable in the summer before you hit the road. The standard six-speaker sound system might not be cutting edge, but it still sounds great.

If you want to take things further, Kia delivers many available tech features on higher trims that can enhance your time behind the wheel. For example, you can get a remarkable 12.3-inch curved instrument display with that massive infotainment screen, making it easy to keep track of important data while you drive.

An available wireless phone charger is perfect for hectic mornings when you’re trying to get out the door and realize you forgot to charge your phone overnight. In contrast, the available 12-speaker Bose Premium sound system can fill your Sorento with rich, beautiful audio to help you relax (or get you pumped up).
