Cypress Kia Dealer

 

With so many crossovers available to buy, it’s difficult for any model to stand apart from the crowd. One crossover that distinguishes itself from the competition is the 2020 Kia Sorento. This three-row midsize SUV features plenty of space for families that need to transport more passengers than the typical five-seat crossover. It’s the perfect alternative to driving a minivan. Some of the reasons the Sorento is such a popular model at dealerships like the Cypress Kia dealer are its comfortable interior, its wealth of standard features and Kia’s outstanding warranty.

The Kia Sorento seats seven and is offered in five trim levels: L, LX, S, EX Sport and SX. The L and LX get a nice set of features. Step up to the S and EX Sport trims and you’ll be treated to many convenience features. The SX provides luxury features that make the 2020 Kia Sorento even more rewarding. All trims get standard front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is optional on all models except the base L. We’ll take a look at the Sorento’s trim levels and go over the features of each model.
