All-new last year, the 2022 Kia Sorento brings some major additions that make an already-compelling vehicle even better. A small-ish midsize, three-row SUV, the Sorento has lately been overshadowed by Kia’s larger (and wildly popular) Telluride, but it offers plenty of virtues of its own and a few things the big guy does not. For 2022, that includes hybrid and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) drivetrains and expanded availability of the off-road-themed X-Line package.

At 189 inches long, the Sorento’s size places it neatly between larger midsizes like the Telluride or Toyota Highlander, and compact crossovers like the Volkswagen Tiguan and Mitsubishi Outlander. All offer three rows standard, but like the Tiguan, the Sorento’s wayback is strictly for kids. Because of the Sorento’s style and practicality beyond offering all those seats, and its quartet of available powertrains, some buyers might also consider two-row alternatives, like the Toyota Venza or Ford Edge.

Sorentos range from $30,845 for the base LX to the loaded $49,345 SX Prestige PHEV, and some versions are priced uncomfortably close to, or even higher than, the Telluride. Beyond three rows in a smaller footprint, the Sorento offers pleasing style, lots of passenger room in the first two rows and good driving dynamics. It can also return much better fuel economy than any other three-row thanks to the hybrid and new-for-2022 PHEV options, which can return 34 to 37 mpg combined.

On the road, the Sorento is a pleasant companion with capable handling and a smooth ride. The hybrids aren’t as quick as the optional 2.5-liter turbo models, but they’re not slow either. If there’s a weakness, it’s that the PHEV makes only 90 horsepower in full-electric mode, which isn’t much fun. Though all AWD models are okay on light dirt or gravel, the X-Lines get an extra 1.3 inches of ground clearance and a variety of other tweaks that both look good and markedly improve off-road ability.

The Sorento’s cabin is as stylish and tasteful as the exterior. While some materials are lower-grade plastic, the look, and available palette of colors, on higher trims is almost premium. The third row is tight, yes, and there’s not much room behind it for cargo, but when folded the Sorento’s hold behind the second row is cavernous. Similarly, the other two rows are huge, with legroom front and rear that puts smaller SUVs, and a few larger ones, to shame.

Many of the Sorento’s nicest options are held back for the higher trims, including heated seats and a variety of active-safety features beyond the basics. Happily, even the lower mid-range models come well equipped with many more features, like adaptive cruise and Kia’s UVO infotainment system, and all pack Kia’s longest-in-the-industry warranty. It isn’t as high-profile as the Telluride, but the Sorento is a solid choice that splits the difference between two fiercely competitive ends of the SUV spectrum.

The non-hybrid Sorento offers two powertrains, starting with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine producing 191 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque driven through an eight-speed automatic on the LX and S trims. EX, SX and SX-P models get a turbocharged version of the 2.5 with 281 horsepower and 311 pound-feet and an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic (DCT). The DCT shifts faster, but the Turbo also makes its power lower in the rev band than the base engine for even better responses.

The Sorento Hybrid and PHEV mate a 1.6-liter four-cylinder gas engine with an electric motor and both use a six-speed automatic. In the Hybrid, which is front- or AWD, the system makes 227 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of system torque. In the AWD-only PHEV, horsepower rises to 258, but in fully-electric mode there are only 90 horses, and its much larger battery makes it slower than both the hybrid (about 8.5 seconds to the hybrid’s low 8.0-second range) or the 2.5 Turbo (7.4).

The X-Line package, available only with the gas engines, adds AWD and raises ground clearance from 6.9 inches to 8.2. This lift greatly improves the Sorento’s off-road ability, though even the regular AWD models can handle light off-pavement duties and aren’t unpleasant on long journeys over gravel or dirt. The X-Line isn’t a 4Runner, but in our testing handled deep moguls and ruts pretty well for a modest crossover. On pavement, the Sorento is a capable handler, composed and quiet with a smooth ride.

With up to 39 mpg city, 35 highway and 37 combined, the front-drive Sorento Hybrid is the star of the show on fuel economy, though AWD Hybrids lose about 2 mpg in each measure. The Hybrid Sorento is the most miserly three-row on the market that isn’t an EV, but both the Toyota Venza and Honda CR-V hybrid are a little more frugal.

The PHEV turns in a combined 34 mpg, which is also impressive, and boasts a 32-mile all-electric range, though its tepid performance as a full EV, it isn’t that easy to return such a mileage. The Sorento PHEV defaults to mixed operation where it does well around town. Over long distances, there’s less of a difference between it and the regular hybrid. On a 100-mile trip in plug-in mode, fuel economy bordered on 50 mpg. The supplied plug-in charger is 120 volts, so allow 12 hours for a full charge or get a 240-volt home EV charger.

The purely gas-powered Sorentos return between 22 and 24 mpg city, 25 to 29 highway, and 24 to 26 mpg combined, with AWD X-Lines at the low end and front-drive model at the high. Since the Sorento fits between a bunch of competitors in size, it compares pretty well to the smaller Volkswagen Tiguan while besting the Honda Passport and Ford Edge.

For 2022, the Kia Sorento earns four stars overall from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and a Top Safety Pick rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). IIHS’ rating only applies to models above the EX grade, however, which have superior projector-beam headlamps.

Kia makes a great many active-safety features optional, but only a few are standard: automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning with lane keep assist, lane following alerts, automatic high beam assist and a driver attention monitor. Many more systems arrive on the S and higher trims, including blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alerts, exit warnings and parking distance warnings. Still higher trims, EX, SX and SX-P get niceties such as adaptive cruise control with stop and go, and cyclist and junction assist or their forward collision avoidance systems.

At 189 inches long, the Sorento is small for athree-row SUV, and the wayback is a thinly padded, rather upright domain best inhabited by little kids. The Sorento offers a little more leg room back there than its closest smaller competitor, the Tiguan (29.6 inches to the VW’s 26.9), but the difference is hard to notice in person. Both are small. Some not-much-larger SUVs, like Kia’s own Telluride and VW’s Atlas, offer a lot more third-row room.

With 41.4 inches of front legroom and 41.7 in back, however, the Sorento offers a lot of room to stretch out in its other two rows. Drivers and front-seat passengers will find the seats softly padded but supportive, with plenty of leg and head room. The optional second-row captain’s chairs improve both third-row access and comfort, but the Sorento’s standard second-row bench isn’t bad either. Heated and ventilated front seats, and heated rears, are optional.

The base-model LX gets an 8-inch infotainment screen with all the usual functions, including voice commands and bluetooth, and wired or wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. There’s also a six-speaker audio system and USB, Aux and iPod jacks. Every other trim gets a much more visually pleasing 10.3-inch center touchscreen with pretty visuals and an easy-to-understand interface. Kia’s UVO system really is world-class, and it doesn’t come on the 8-inch unit. Strangely, however, CarPlay and Android Auto require cords on this larger screen.

The top three trims have wireless phone charging. The very-top SX-Prestige has a 12-speaker Bose surround audio system and even more USB jacks, including the sides of the front seatbacks. The SX Prestige has a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel with extensive information; the others get a 4.2-inch LCD flanked by traditional dials.

Like smaller three-row SUVs, the Sorento offers really fantastic amounts of space behind the second row when the third-row is stowed, but fares poorly when it’s in use. Without it, there are 38.5 to 45.0 cubic-feet depending on the configuration, but with the wayback occupied there are only 12.3, which makes bringing much luggage a challenge. With the towing package, 2.5 turbo models can lug up to 3,500 pounds, but most Sorentos will be carrying a rooftop box if the third row is regularly used.

While some larger midsize three-rows don’t offer much more, the Sorento is among the smallest overall and in cargo space behind the third row. Only compact three-rows, like the Mitsubishi Outlander really offer less. Volkswagen’s smaller Tiguan is only 0.3 cubic-feet shy of the Sorento when the third row is in use. With all the seats folded down, the Sorento opens up to 72.6 cubic-feet, which isn’t bad, but not as much as the Subaru Outback and only fractionally more than the Toyota RAV4.

Kia’s exterior designs seem to go from strength to strength. The Sorento is a good deal more subtle than its big brother the Telluride but it cuts a handsome profile and never hesitates to reference the “tiger nose” and related design language Kia has been evolving over the past decade. Even in lifted X-Line form it looks low-slung and sleek, almost Acura-like from some angles, and quite a bit sharper than Hyundai’s related Santa Fe.

Every Sorento is a roomy and useful machine, but the base engine is underpowered and some of the best gear requires upgrading to the mid-range or higher-spec trims.

The Turbocharged EX gets much of the best gear and the most powerful engine for a starting price of $36,745 (all prices include a $1,255 destination fee), but the Hybrid EX ($37,345) also makes a very compelling case thanks to its excellent fuel economy, which comes with only a modest loss in performance.

Adding AWD lifts gas EX’s price quite a bit as it comes only as the X-Line ($40,445), but the hybrid only adds $1,800 for AWD. The X-Line is a worthwhile addition for outdoorsy folks, because the Sorento really can acquit itself well in light off-roading. The Hybrid doesn’t do too bad on dirt either, but the lower ground clearance means exercising lots of caution.

The top-spec SX Prestige comes with just about every extra and system Kia offers, but at $49,345, it’s $5,000 more than the Telluride SX, which is quite an ask. The Sorento’s main opposition is that very popular in-the-showroom sibling, but it does not offer a hybrid or PHEV option, and won’t get an X-Line version until 2023.

The Kia Sorento costs more to insure than most of its competitors, but not by much. According to our data, a typical 30-year-old female driver with a clean record can expect an average annual premium of $1,988, though this averages all 50 states. That compares to $1,658 for the Volkswagen Tiguan, $1,970 for the Toyota Highlander, $1,770 for the Ford Edge and $1,779 for the Hyundai Santa Fe.
