An optional all-wheel drive will be available for those who want the upgrade.
Interior
Expect plenty of space in the 2021 Kia Sorento. The cargo volume is approximately 32% larger than before and when you get the hybrid trim, you can expect to find it resting under the floor. This decreases the sound inside.
