Colors like Road Rider Brown and Jungle Green reinforce their adventurous demeanor, ensuring they stand out on or off-road.

The Sorento offers a range of powertrains tailored to diverse driving needs. The standard 2.5L 4-cylinder engine delivers 191 hp and 181 lbs.-ft. of torque, balancing efficiency with responsive acceleration. For more muscle with a kick of acceleration, the turbocharged 2.5L engine generates an intense 281 hp and a whopping 311 lbs.-ft. of torque, ensuring the power to conquer highways or tow up to 4,500 lbs. confidently.
