2021 Kia Sorento Trim Levels in Charlotte NC

2021 Kia Sorento Overview

The Kia Sorento is actually one of the earliest versions of the modern SUV, and in its early years of sale, shoppers were suspicious of its low price. Slowly but surely, however, it became obvious that the folks at Kia were able to produce a well-rounded, small-sized family transport that was loaded with convenience features. Over the years, the Sorento got upgrade after upgrade, and none of the improvements resulted in a steep price hike. Today, this three-row crossover sits in a rather unique spot in the SUV class, somewhere in the shadowed region between compact and mid-size. The 2021 Kia Sorento trim levels include a base model boasting a large screen display, selectable drive modes, and heated outside mirrors, a mid-level trim that comes with a powerful turbocharged engine, and a range-topping trim that includes ventilated leather seating and a panoramic sunroof.
