Why it stands out

The 2023 Kia Sorento stands out as a midsize SUV that blends family-friendly space with a broad range of powertrains and features. By this point in the Sorento’s fourth generation, the model had grown into a three-row SUV with enough room to comfortably accommodate adults, while also adopting a more aggressive, sporty design and a more luxurious cabin treatment with wood-grained trim and quilted leather upholstery. It also offered a comprehensive suite of safety features, which helps explain why it appeals to shoppers looking for a practical family vehicle with a more upscale feel.

For 2023, Kia added the blind-spot monitor and rear automatic braking to the base LX model, along with a few minor feature shuffles between trim levels. That makes the entry point more appealing without changing the Sorento’s basic formula. The lineup also remained notable for its variety, including a standard 191-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine on the LX and S trims, a 281-horsepower turbocharged upgrade on the EX and SX trims, and a hybrid option with a combined 227 horsepower. Fuel economy was a strong point for the hybrid, which was EPA-estimated at 39/35 mpg city/highway, while the base four-cylinder returned 24/29 mpg city/highway and the turbo option was rated at 22/29 mpg city/highway.

The 2023 Sorento is also attractive because it balances everyday usability with available capability. Standard features on the base LX included a smart key with push-button start and smart cruise control, while higher trims could add items such as second-row captain’s chairs, a blind-spot monitor, rear parking sensors, adaptive cruise control, rear automatic braking, and a surround-view monitor. At the same time, the Sorento was not without drawbacks: the blind-spot view camera was described as more distracting than helpful, especially at night. Even so, the 2023 Sorento’s mix of space, efficiency, safety equipment, and trim-level variety makes it a compelling choice for buyers who want a well-rounded three-row SUV.
