When you're shopping for a three-row, mid-sized SUV, utility is a key consideration. A vehicle's cargo capacity and ability to tow can often determine how useful it will be in practical situations and how well it's adapted for trips with the family. So, let's explore the tough and capable 2024 Kia Sorento and see just what it can do for your family's next adventure. 2024 Kia Sorento Towing Capacity Towing Capabilities Driven by a 2.5L, 4-cylinder engine, the 2024 Sorento offers a range of trims with a range of capabilities. LX and S trims, for example, lack the turbocharger of higher-tier options, maxing out their towing capacity at 2,000 pounds when properly equipped. EX trims and above add a turbocharger to that engine, increasing maximum towing capability up to 3,500 pounds. But the 2024 Sorento's X-Pro SX Prestige AWD trim adds another half-ton of trailer capability, maxing out the range at 4,500 pounds and letting you bring almost any boat, camper, kayak, ATV, or other essential when you’re heading on your next trip. Cargo Capacity The 2024 Sorento offers the ability to prioritize passengers, maximize cargo, or find a happy medium. With three rows on board and seating for seven, the Sorento offers up to 12.6 cubic feet of cargo capability with all three rows upright. Fold the back bench down, though, and capacity expands significantly, offering 38.5 cubic feet of space in that configuration, which is plenty of room to bring everyone's luggage and toys along for the trip. Of course, sometimes you need to maximize what you can carry in a load. When moving cargo is your goal, the Sorento offers 75.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the first row. That's plenty of room to bring home furniture, weekly grocery shopping hauls, and even home improvement supplies. (And that's without using the Sorento's available high-utility roof rails.) Adventure-Ready Technology With the 2024 Sorento, how far you go is up to you. With available All-Wheel Drive technology, the Sorento is ready for bad weather and uneven terrain, which means you can take your family further off the beaten path. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are wireless on every trim, with the Kia Connect system able to connect your compatible smart devices to take connectivity to the next level. Infotainment comes on a massive 12.3-inch touchscreen, and premium audio is available, too. With proven capability, a flexible and high-utility design, user-friendly technology, and the peace of mind that comes from buying an IIHS Top Safety Pick, the 2024 Sorento should top your list of family-friendly vehicles to explore. Bring the kids and test drive the Sorento at DARCARS Kia of Temple Hills.
