The all-new 2022 Kia Sorento is such a complete departure from the previous generation that you'd think it was built by a different company. With its mix of quality, practicality and available performance, the Sorento is an enticing option if you're looking for a small SUV with above-average versatility. Only the elevated price tag on the top-of-the-line model could be a deterrent.

Pros
- Impressive number of standard and optional features
- Lots of second- and third-row legroom for the class
- Sharp-looking and easy-to-use infotainment system
Cons
- Not as compact (or wallet-friendly) as the last-generation model
What's new
- X-Line appearance package now available on S and EX trim levels
- Minor additions to standard features on certain trim levels

Overview
The 2022 Kia Sorento is a small SUV that is one of the few in its class to offer three rows of seating. In that sense it's an intriguing pick if you want something that's more versatile than Kia's Sportage small SUV but not as big or as expensive as the three-row midsize Telluride.

Kia fully redesigned the Sorento for 2021, and the model's new styling is certainly inspired by its Telluride sibling. The Sorento offers four powertrain choices, including a hybrid and a new-for-2022 plug-in hybrid. Also this year, many trims gain additional equipment, such as the 10.25-inch touchscreen that now comes on all levels except the base model. Buyers looking for an affordable yet expressive SUV can now spec the spiffy X-Line appearance package further down the trim ladder. (It was previously only optional for the range-topping SX Prestige model.)
Overall, we give the 2022 Sorento high marks for its appealing mix of comfort, utility and value. Check out our Expert Rating below to read our test team's full report.
What's it like to live with?
The Kia Sorento is the versatile, smaller sibling to our Edmunds Top Rated SUV, the Kia Telluride. How much does its lack of size and premium finish hurt it when used as a daily driver? We wanted to find out, so we added one to our long-term test fleet. Our Sorento is a 2021 model, but a lot of the advantages and drawbacks will hold true for the 2022 model as well. Check out our experiences with our 2021 Kia Sorento X-Line AWD here.
Edmunds Expert Rating
edmunds TESTED
by the Edmunds Experts
Great
8.2
out of 10
We drove the 2022 Kia Sorento on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.
Performance
8/10
How does the Sorento drive? The Sorento with the optional turbocharged engine is downright quick for a small SUV. And it wasn't just the sprint to 60 mph in a mere 6.7 seconds that impressed us but also the way the power continues to build at higher speeds. For comparison, this Sorento is nearly 3 seconds faster than the similarly sized Volkswagen Tiguan and a tick faster than even the V6-powered Honda Passport. Highway merging as well as passing is not a problem in the Sorento. Just as impressive is the new eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, which is capable of near seamless shifts in slow-moving traffic or full-throttle merging.
Slowing the Sorento can be done with confidence thanks to the nicely balanced and intuitive brake pedal. Stopping from 60 mph, the Sorento showed only a little nosedive and braked in just 121 feet, which is better than average for the class. Handling is similarly confidence-inspiring, but we wish for a little more accuracy in the steering.

Handling is similarly confidence-inspiring, but we wish for a little more accuracy in the steering.
Comfort
8/10
How comfortable is the Sorento? All three rows of seats provide better-than-expected comfort for a small SUV. The front seats on our top-of-the-line test vehicle offered heating, ventilation and a good range of adjustment. The second-row captain's chairs (a bench seat is standard on lower trim levels) were firm but more comfortable and supportive than bench seats found in other SUVs. The third-row seats are small and low to the floor but still offer enough support for adults. The dual-zone climate control is efficient and easy to use even if the touch-sensitive buttons aren't as responsive as traditional buttons.
Ride comfort isn't quite as impressive, and a steady stream of jitters heads into the cabin at lower speeds. The large 20-inch wheels of the Sorento we tested may have been the culprit, and their low-profile tires caused elevated road noise at freeway speeds. On the highway, the Sorento's ride is well controlled, imparting confidence and a sense of stability.

On the highway, the Sorento's ride is well controlled, imparting confidence and a sense of stability.
Interior
8.5/10
How’s the interior? Contrary to its small SUV classification, the Sorento offers ample space for adults in all three rows. You'll even find more legroom in the second row than in dedicated two-row SUVs such as the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V. Taller adults will have plenty of space. Even the third row is hospitable for adults, though it's a bit of a squeeze to get back there. Getting into the Sorento is otherwise an easy affair.
The Sorento carries over many of Kia's user-friendly attributes, and buyers new to the brand will have no problem getting a handle on the interior. Visibility is also quite good thanks to ample-size windows and good sight lines throughout the cabin. The optional surround-view camera system offers high-definition images and proves helpful in tight situations.

Technology
8.5/10
How’s the tech? Our top-of-the-line test vehicle came decked out with a 10.25-inch touchscreen with navigation, an upgraded Bose audio system and a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel. The graphics are crisp and creative, but we found some on-screen buttons a bit on the small side. The Bose audio system was slightly less impressive, and we never really found a sweet spot over a wide range of music. The merely average voice command system is the least impressive tech in the Sorento. It lacks natural language recognition and flexibility.
With multiple USB ports as well as a wireless charger, passengers won't lack power for their devices. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone compatibility is standard, though wireless connectivity is not offered with the larger screen. The Sorento's advanced driver aids are impressive not only in scope but in application. We encountered no false alarms, and with the exception of an overly cautious rear cross-traffic warning system, we had no complaints.

We encountered no false alarms, and with the exception of an overly cautious rear cross-traffic warning system, we had no complaints.
Storage
8/10
How’s the storage? With the third-row seats up, there's only 12.6 cubic feet of cargo capacity, which equates to a row of about five grocery bags. Its closest competitor, the Volkswagen Tiguan, offers only 12 cubes, and the larger Subaru Ascent offers up to 17.8 cubes. With the third row dropped, the Sorento offers between 38.5 and 45 cubic feet, depending on how far forward you slide the second-row seats. That's more than the roomy Toyota RAV4 (up to 37.6 cubic feet) and the larger Honda Passport (41.2 cubes). With all the seats down, the Sorento holds 75.5 cubic feet, which is on par with the Honda CR-V.
Interior storage is another Sorento strong suit. Though it lacks the cleverness of Honda's CR-V and Passport, there's ample, well-thought-out storage options in all three rows. Towing capacity for this new generation of Sorento is a fairly standard 3,500 pounds (the last-generation capacity stood at 5,000 pounds). Sorentos without the turbocharged engine can tow up to 2,000 pounds.

Sorentos without the turbocharged engine can tow up to 2,000 pounds.
Fuel Economy
8/10
How’s the fuel economy? The EPA estimates the all-wheel-drive Sorento with the turbocharged engine returns 24 mpg combined (22 city/27 highway), and we got a 25.2 mpg average over our 115-mile mixed-driving evaluation loop. As an added bonus, the turbocharged Sorento doesn't need premium gasoline. The Sorento is not as frugal as the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4, but it exceeded the mpg numbers we got for the similarly powerful Honda Passport and Subaru Ascent on our eval route.
Value
8.5/10
Is the Sorento a good value? As we've come to expect from Kia, the Sorento is well equipped and well built. Even with bits of hard plastic scattered about the cabin, the Sorento features thoughtful detailing and premium touches throughout. Even in a SX Prestige X-Line optioned up to $44,290, the Sorento still manages to look and feel like a good value for the money, though that price tag puts it closer to larger, more capable SUVs.
Kia warranties are class-leading, and the Sorento comes with five-year/60,000-mile bumper-to-bumper and 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranties. Roadside assistance is more standard at five years/60,000 miles.

Wildcard
8/10
When equipped with the optional 2.5-liter turbocharged engine, the Kia Sorento is just about as much fun in a straight line as a small SUV can be. Not only is the impressive power addictive but so is the smoothness with which the Sorento goes about gathering speed. As for the rest of the Sorento experience, if you can imagine a baby version of the popular Telluride, you're not very far off.
The previous Sorento was always a bit of a compromise and left us thinking it was being asked to do too much. The new Sorento is a revelation as an impressive and versatile small SUV.

2022 Kia Sorento trim level differences
The 2022 Kia Sorento is a three-row small SUV available in five trim levels: LX, S, EX, SX and SX Prestige. There is also an X-Line appearance package available on S, EX and SX Prestige models. All trims come with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. There's also a Sorento Hybrid and Sorento Plug-In Hybrid, both of which are reviewed separately. Highlight features for the Sorento's trims include: Compare the 2022 Kia Sorento trim levels in-depth.
Which Sorento trim does Edmunds recommend?
We think the sweet spot in the 2022 Kia Sorento lineup is right in the middle. The S trim packs a lot of features, especially with this year's addition of the larger touchscreen and navigation system. It's definitely the way to go for value. But if you want more power, the EX is a modestly priced upgrade that adds the turbocharged engine plus a lot more goodies.

My Kia Sorento S is a LEMON!!
1 out of 5 starsWalterst, 07/12/2021
2021 Kia Sorento S 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl 8A)
Long story short…..DON’T BUY A KIA!!!
I bought my brand new 2021 Kia Sorento S on May 1st. Not even a week after buying it, the brakes have been non stop squealing every time I brake. I took it in to have them look at it, the tech said he found nothing wrong with it, didn’t hear anything and lubed the brakes and they sent me on my way. Didn’t even get down the road and heard the … same squealing as soon as I left the lot. I immediately called them back and was scheduled another week out. A different tech looked at it and said that my car had 2 defective leaking front brake calipers (on a brand new car). They scheduled to have it serviced and they were both supposedly “replaced” only to drive it the next day to hear squealing once again. I called to let them know about the issue and they couldn’t even get me in for another 2 weeks just to look at it again…..I brought it in, they now say the back brakes are overheating for some reason and they don’t know why. So they said they were going to replace the brake pads and rotors. Well, this morning I go to start my car up with push to start, it acted like it didn’t want to start and hesitated….I think to myself “maybe that was just a one time thing”. Well as I drop my son off at daycare and begin my drive to work through Delaware, I notice the transmission is not wanting to shift and will not go into 3rd gear. If it does, it will jerk really hard and then rev up again. I get further down the road and it is very slow to accelerate and will not let me go past 40mph. You better believe after all the issues with the brakes I DROVE THAT CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM TO KEEP IT! I already have a case open with Kia consumer affairs and I’m in the process of requesting a buyback. As a mother and work a full time job I do not have the time to keep bringing a new car in to be serviced every week! When you buy a new car, you expect to not have these very issues! I have tried to be very patient and understanding but at this point I am just frustrated!!! Will never buy another Kia.

2021 Kia Sorento S 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl 8A)
Got the model S 2021, it's a nice looking SUV, nice leather seats and spacious, the moonroof is great. Also good mileage.
But, and this is a big one, the SUV is new and already had check engine light issues twice, the safety system shout down on my completely yesterday, lights turn on by themselves, the seat heating turns on by itself. The thing is going bananas. Why would I have to be … struggling like that with a car I just got 3 weeks ago? it's super annoying and now I regret buying it.

I only have 2200 miles and my blind spot monitoring system went out and 3 days or so later the transmission failed...wouldn't switch to second gear without redlining. Engine light and service message came on and now it's been sitting in the Kia dealership lot for weeks because they are so backed up...stay far away from the 2021 Sorento.
2021 Kia Sorento is Nice, BUT a sour Lemon
1 out of 5 starsJohn L. Kearney III, 06/25/2021
2021 Kia Sorento SX Prestige X-Line 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 8AM)
I traded my 2019 Kia Optima Sport in for a 2021 Kia Sorento SX X-Line Prestige AWD on 1/1/2021. 2 weeks ago tomorrow will make 2 weeks that my truck is in the shop. Walked outside one morning on my way to work. Started my truck up like normal and put it in drive. It wouldn't move. Put it in reverse. It wouldn't move. After about 15 minutes, it started driving. I work out of town and … depend on my vehicle. Took it to the shop, they dropped me off at work. They wouldn't even give me a loaner because they said they were out of then. I reserved a rental. Long story short, I ended up having to purchase a second vehicle because it didn't make sense to continue to pay put of pocket for a rental. But 13 days later, they say they need to replace a pump and if that doesn't work, then they will replace my transmission. On a 2021 Nice SUV that WASN'T CHEAP!??? Make it make sense! I loved Kia and I still think they're nice vehicles, but this will be my LAST Kia I purchase. The new Sorento's are nice, but please wait a few years before you buy this vehicle. From reading other reviews as of today, this body style has too many transmission issues.
12/25/21 update----My original post was above. It has been an ongoing mess with Kia motors company and a nightmare. To summarize and make a long story short, Kia originally had my truck in the shop literally for 4.5 months. I had to purchase a second vehicle because they didn't have any loaner vehicles. The replaced three transmissions while it was in the shop. I dealership could only do what they could, but I am really disgusted with the corporate office. They are so unprofessional and un-empathetic. I had to get the Attorney General office involved. When they "finally" said I could do the buy back option, that was Sept 9th when I completed and faxed back and confirmed they got my paperwork. They told me 60 days for buy back. Well....Danielle G, the escalated case manager who was working my case didn't get it turned in til the end of the month and told me the buy back would take place by end of November. I feel like she kept blowing smoke up me because she would give me the run around---ALL the time and that's when she answered the phone for me. Danielle G wouldn't answer or return my calls. I called her one day from my office phone (different area code) and SHE ANSWERED! I was so pissed. I nicely told I called from my personal number and she wouldn't answer, but when I call from a different area code, she's answers and SHE LAUGHED! I told her how unprofessional that was and she apologized. But as far as the truck, I ended up getting it back 4.5 months later...drove it for 2 weeks and it cut off on me. Got it to the dealership and they had it for another week. They called me to pick it up. I asked them what was wrong with it? They said that it wasn't throwing any codes that they needed to fix, so they reset the check engine light. Excuse me? You reset the check engine light because you couldn't figure out why it cut off? I told them to keep the truck until the buy back was over. I'm done with Kia. Actually, the dealership were the nice people out of this, but Kia motors corporate ain't worth a penny. I feel bad for other people who spend their hard earned money on this beautiful truck and once that transmission goes out, it's a done deal. The 3rd party company called Morley emailed me this week. I'm just awaiting the surrender date to give them my part of the buy back money and so I can be done with these folks. I know this may not make sense, but---as long as you don't need Kia's services other than routine maintenance, you'll probably be okay. But let something mess up and you'll be screwed. PLEASE SAVE YOURSELF AND JUST LEAVE KIA ALONE! I brought this $50k truck January 1st 2021 and it has been in the shop for over half the time that I've had it.

Safety
Our experts like the Sorento models:
- Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go
- Speeds up and slows the car automatically, keeping a user-defined distance between the Sorento and the car in front.
- Lane Following Assist
- Keeps the Sorento in the middle of its lane at low speeds. The upgraded Highway Driving Assist does the same at higher speeds.
- Blind-Spot View Monitor
- Projects an image of the Sorento's blind spot to the digital instrument panel when the turn signal is flipped on.
