Kia Sorento for Sale Near Oak Ridge

Why the Kia Sorento Is a Great SUV

As mentioned, the Kia Sorento initially debuted in 2003. It has undergone extensive changes since then, including adding a full-time third row in the 2019 model year. All those changes have led to what is now a dynamic SUV option, whether you're looking for more space for passengers or cargo, want to haul a camper on the weekend, or simply want the flexibility it offers to go wherever and whenever you want in the Oak Ridge area.

When looking at the Sorento, you will quickly see there are several trim levels to choose from, which is another reason why having our team by your side is a good idea. Some of these trims are designed for hitting the trails, while others provide you with luxury materials as well as state-of-the-art tech and safety features. We can walk you through the differences between these trims in person.

Regarding size, the Sorento fits between the smaller Sportage and the slightly larger Telluride. Its well-designed interior layout offers ample headroom and legroom in all three rows, so spaciousness is definitely not a concern. Plus, you will find that both the second and third rows fold down, expanding the cargo space that is already offered when both rows are upright. The interior also gets high marks for comfort and convenience; even lower-level trims come with a long list of amenities that simply make the drive more engaging, including some you would only expect to find at the top of another model's trim lineup.

The Sorento also delivers when it comes to connectivity and safety. While the top trims offer the most amenities, the lower trims also meet many of the needs of today's drivers. For instance, you will find a large, easy-to-use infotainment screen front and center, ensuring you can access the tools and apps you use most while remaining focused on the road. This keeps you and your passengers connected and entertained during the drive. On the safety side of things, you will find available and standard features that keep you centered on the road and alert you to changes in traffic flow, among other things.

Finally, the Sorento delivers in terms of power and performance, even giving you the option to choose all-wheel drive if you want to prioritize traction. Our team can explore this further with you, including taking a closer look at the off-road-ready trims that were mentioned above. At the same time, we can also review some of the accessories you can add to customize your Sorento and ensure it's ready to go when you are.

Check Out a Pre-Owned Kia Sorento

While many of our Oak Ridge drivers are looking for a new SUV for their travels, even more are opting for pre-owned models. This makes sense for a variety of reasons. For one, choosing from our used inventory gives you a chance to find a top-tier model with all the bells and whistles within your budget when it might not have been if you purchased it new.

Second, buying used is often a smart investment, especially when it's a vehicle that's known for reliability, such as the Sorento. In addition, insurance premiums are often lower for used vehicles, which saves you even more money. Lastly, since new vehicles tend to lose a large percentage of their value in the first few years, you conserve more of the value during your ownership.

Find Financing for Your Next Sorento

We know that financing is often the most stressful part of the car-buying process, which is why we've taken steps to make it much easier. For example, you can start the process from the comfort of your home—or wherever you are—by filling out the application here on our website. You can also check out our online payment calculator and have your trade-in valued while you're there. Once the application is submitted, our team will take a look and contact you with your options. Of course, you can also wait until you're at our dealership if you wish.

We have worked hard to develop relationships with a variety of lenders, which means we might be able to find approval for you even if you've previously been told no due to credit issues or other factors. Either way, we will make sure your questions are answered to ensure you fully understand our options.

Another thing to consider when it comes to financing, specifically if you're purchasing a new car, is getting a lease rather than a loan. Leasing is a great way to get the latest advancements every few years and is perfect for drivers who tend to travel mainly in town. If you think leasing is something you might consider, we can show you the terms, which usually last for 24 or 36 months, as well as the mileage requirements to see if leasing is a good fit. Additionally, for our customers choosing a new Sorento, we will review any current rebates or incentives and factor that into your purchase.
