So, Kia just pulled the curtain back on the 2024 Sorento for the U.S., and well, it’s kind of like déjà vu. You see, Kia spilled the beans that there are just minimal changes, and to add a dash of irony, the press photos showcase a color that’s no longer in the menu – Runway Red, we’ll miss you. Now, they’re throwing in Gravity Blue instead, paired with a Navy interior for that extra flair. Oh, and the headliner went from black to gray. Riveting stuff, right?
Now, on the tech side, don’t hold your breath for any jaw-dropping updates. The Sorento Hybrid is sticking to its 1.6-liter gas engine and electric motor combo, dishing out the same 227 horsepower. Prices? Well, the base Sorento EX FWD now starts at $38,015, throwing in an extra $130 compared to last year. And if you’re eyeing the fancier hybrid model, get ready to part ways with at least $43,815.
But wait, there’s more! The plug-in hybrid is in the mix too, flexing a 1.6-liter turbo-four and a beefier electric motor, rocking a total of 261 horsepower. Pricing? It starts at $51,315, and you guessed it – an extra $130 from last year. Consistency is key!
Now, here’s the plot twist – next year, Kia’s planning a facelift for the Sorento in the U.S. So, if you’re feeling a bit meh about the 2024, maybe hold onto that excitement. They’re teasing us with T-shaped headlights, a logo relocation, a fresh grille, and some interior tweaks.
