Shawnee Mission Kia welcomes you to find out what the 2022 Kia Sorento engine specs are.

Sorento Engine Performance

There’s not a vehicle that offers more for drivers than the Kia Sorento. None could offer the standard features it brings to its variety of models, but what makes the Kia Sorento shine even more, is the optional amenities that can be added to personalize the SUV. Beginning with the cabin layout, if you’d like a little more storage space more than a third row of seating, you can get that. However, if you wouldn’t mind selecting the third row, the standard folding seat feature will add up some more storage room so you’ll be fine. Then there’s a host of Kia Drive Wise safety features that comprise of optional Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Technology, Blind-Spot Detection, Blind-Spot View Monitors, and Surround View. Inside, you could also enjoy the available 10.25-inch display, 12.3-inch Digital Instrument Cluster, and Bose Premium Audio features, so the tunes won’t stop.

Sorento Top Speed

What is the Top Speed of the Sorento?

Gorgeous in motion, the Sorento has an estimated maximum speed of 135 miles per hour. Driving to new locations isn’t a surprise for the Kia Sorento, but driving the SUV to unsafe speeds should always be avoided. Following local driving laws should remain the top focus behind the wheel, and testing out the Kia Sorento’s max speed wouldn’t fall in line with that. But it’s always fun to push your Sorento a bit, but you need to do it in a safe situation.

Kia Sorento 0-60 Time

0-60 of the Sorento

The Kia Sorento takes only an estimated 6.3 seconds to accelerate from 0-60 miles per hour. It’s easy to say this estimated 0-60 mph time is tied to the Turbo 2.5L engine because it produces the most horsepower. But not one of the Sorento engines lack power when driving on any highway. Whether it’s the fuel-powered powertrain choices or the duo of Hybrid powerplants, no obstacle is too much for any Kia Sorento engine.
