Looking for a Kia Sorento in Indianapolis, IN? At Ray Skillman Northeast Kia, we carry the versatile midsize SUV that has become a favorite among drivers who want three rows of seating without the full-size footprint. The Sorento gives you space, capability, and smart technology in a package that fits daily life.
With trims ranging from the well-equipped base model up to the off-road-ready X-Pro SX Prestige AWD, there is a configuration that matches how you actually drive. Whether you are hauling kids to school, weekend gear to the lake, or a trailer out of town, this SUV has the flexibility to handle it.
The Kia Sorento gives you two gas engines to choose from, and the right one depends on how you use your vehicle. The standard 2.5-liter four-cylinder produces 191 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque, paired with a smooth eight-speed automatic transmission. It is tuned for efficient driving around town and on the highway, with EPA estimates reaching up to 26 mpg combined in front-wheel-drive configurations.
For drivers who want more muscle, the available turbocharged 2.5-liter engine delivers 281 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. That extra power also brings up to 3,500 pounds of towing capacity on most turbo trims, and up to 4,500 pounds on the X-Pro SX Prestige AWD when properly equipped. All-wheel drive is available on most trims and adds terrain modes for snow, sand, and mud.
If saving on fuel sits at the top of your list, the Kia Sorento Hybrid is worth a serious look. It pairs a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine with an electric motor for a combined 227 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, giving you confident acceleration whether you are merging onto I-465 or pulling out of a school pickup line. The EX FWD configuration earns an EPA-estimated 37 mpg combined, and with a 17.7-gallon tank, you can stretch a single fill-up to roughly 655 miles. That kind of range turns weekend road trips out of Indianapolis into a much simpler affair.
You still get three-row seating and the same family-friendly layout as the gas Sorento, plus the option to add all-wheel drive on the EX AWD or step up to the X-Line SX Prestige AWD for added grip on rougher roads. Regenerative braking helps keep the hybrid battery charged as you drive, and Kia covers the battery pack under a 10-year/100,000-mile limited warranty, which makes long-term ownership feel a lot easier on the mind. Stop by Ray Skillman Northeast Kia and we will walk you through how the hybrid stacks up against the gas trims so you can pick the option that fits your daily routine.
Every Sorento comes standard with a 12.3-inch touchscreen display, giving you a clear view of navigation, music, and phone controls. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are built in, so your phone connects the moment you sit down. Try the SX and higher trims, and a second 12.3-inch curved display replaces the gauge cluster, creating a connected, panoramic look that is easy to read at a glance.
A 12-speaker Bose premium audio system is available on upper trims, turning the cabin into a concert hall on long drives. You will also find wireless phone charging, USB charging ports in all three rows, and available features like a 360-degree surround-view monitor that makes parking in tight spots much less stressful.
Safety is built into every Sorento from the start. Forward collision-avoidance assist with pedestrian and cyclist detection, blind-spot warning, lane keeping assist, and rear cross-traffic collision-avoidance assist all come standard. Nine airbags, including second-row side airbags, provide an additional layer of protection for your passengers.
Higher trims add Highway Driving Assist, which helps maintain lane position and distance from the vehicle ahead on long trips. The top trims include Highway Driving Assist 2, surround-view cameras, evasive steering assist, and a full-display digital rearview mirror. It all adds up to a driving experience that lets you focus on the road with greater confidence.
The Sorento is offered in eight trims, each one building on the last with upgraded features, power, or capability. Here is a quick look at how four popular trims stack up:
