The base L trim comes with a functional equipment group that includes its 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine (185 horsepower, 178 pound-feet of torque), 17-inch alloy wheels, 40/20/40-split second-row seats (fold, slide and recline), Bluetooth, a USB port and satellite radio. It is also five-passenger-only.
If you go with the LX, the Sorento will also come standard with automatic headlights, a rearview camera, a 4.3-inch touchscreen and two extra USB ports. It also opens the door to the Convenience package that includes rear parking sensors, an eight-way power driver seat, heated front seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. The third-row seat can be added to this package.
The EX includes the Convenience package along with 18-inch wheels, dual-zone climate control and leather upholstery. You can have either a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine (240 hp, 260 lb-ft) or a 3.3-liter V6 engine (290 hp, 252 lb-ft of torque) with this trim. The EX opens the door to two feature-rich packages. The Premium package includes a hands-free power liftgate, keyless ignition and entry, second-row sunshades and a blind-spot warning system. The Touring package adds the Premium content along with popular items that include a panoramic sunroof, an 8-inch touchscreen interface, a navigation system and an Infinity sound system.
Near the top of the model range is the SX. It comes standard with the Touring/Premium packages, the V6 engine and seven seats. Key additional items include 19-inch wheels, sportier steering, driver seat memory functions and fancier trim inside and out. The SX Limited can be had with either the turbo-4 or the V6, but as the most luxurious trim, kicks things up a few notches with upgraded leather upholstery, ventilated front seats and heated second-row seats. It can also be equipped with a Technology package that includes xenon headlights, a multi-angle parking camera, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning and a forward-collision warning system.
