Used 2020 Kia Sorento SUV Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2020 Kia Sorento is a seven-seat SUV that is available in five trim levels: L, LX, S, EX Sport and SX. The L and the LX are reasonably well equipped, while the S and the EX add more convenience features. The SX trims top the range with more luxury-oriented features.
Which Sorento trim does Edmunds recommend?
The base four-cylinder engine will likely struggle with the Sorento's weight, which is why we suggest stepping up to the V6. Go for the EX Sport trim that gets you the V6 plus extra niceties and advanced safety features.
