Designed with great attention to detail, the Sorento incorporates the little extras that appeal to most SUV buyers that include plenty of storage space throughout the vehicle, an underbody-mounted full-size spare tire, a flat cargo floor, a handy split-opening rear hatch, under seat storage box, eight cup holders and more. Inside, the Sorento will seat five passengers comfortably with generous head and legroom. It boasts an interior volume, including cargo space of 3,919 litres (138.4 cubic feet), that?s more than five cubic feet larger than the Jeep Liberty and the Ford Escape. The 60/40-split rear seats easily flip and fold for a smooth, flat cargo area. In addition to hauling cargo, the Sorento will be able to tow up to 7,700 kgs (3,500 pounds), and will come pre-wired for trailer lights.

Like all Kia models, the Sorento will be covered by Kia?s industry leading 5-5-5 Extra Care Warranty, a five year / 100,000 km comprehensive warranty, five year / 100,000 km powertrain and a five year / 100,000 km Extra Care Roadside Assistance program which includes 24-hour roadside assistance across North America plus limited food, lodging and transportation coverage should repairs take more than 24 hours.
