The 2022 Kia Sorento SX is a "right-sized" three-row SUV that bridges the gap between a compact crossover and the massive Telluride. In the SX trim with the 2.5L Turbo, you're getting the most spirited performance available in the Sorento lineup a setup that feels remarkably agile on El Pasos expansive highway system. Here is how this 281-horsepower machine handles life in the Sun City. The Turbo Advantage: El Paso sits at an elevation of roughly 3,700 feet. Naturally aspirated engines lose about 3% of their power for every 1,000 feet of elevation. Because this Sorento is Turbocharged, it forces air into the engine, effectively "negating" the thin mountain air. You'll have the full 311 lb-ft of torque available for passing slow-moving trucks on the climb up Transmountain. The 8-Speed DCT (Dual-Clutch Transmission): Unlike a standard automatic, the DCT shifts lightning-fast. Its designed for driver engagement. Whether you're merging onto the Loop 375 or navigating the "Spaghetti Bowl" downtown, the power delivery is nearly instantaneous. FWD Dynamics: While AWD is popular, the Front-Wheel Drive configuration is actually more fuel-efficient for the average El Pasoan who stays on the pavement. It reduces vehicle weight, allowing for a snappier feel and better MPG during long hauls to Las Cruces or San Antonio. The SX trim is where the Sorento enters luxury territory, which is essential when you're spending 45 minutes in cross-town traffic.
Panoramic Sunroof: It comes standard, giving the cabin an airy, open feel. However, with our Texas sun, you'll appreciate the power sunshade that completely blocks out the heat when parked at the Cielo Vista Mall. SynTex Seating: The SX features high-end synthetic leather that is specifically engineered to be more UV-resistant than organic leather meaning its less likely to dry out and crack after years of El Pasos intense sun exposure.
10.25-inch Touchscreen: This wide display features navigation with real-time traffic updates, a must-have for navigating around the constant I-10 construction. Highway Driving Assist: Combines adaptive cruise control and lane centering perfect for the long, straight stretches of Horizon City or Anthony. LED Projector Headlights: The SX trim upgrades to "Reflector" LEDs, providing incredible visibility for dark desert roads where streetlights are sparse.2nd Row Captains Chairs: Provides easy access to the 3rd row and gives your passengers more "personal space" crucial for keeping the kids cool and happy in the summer. Smart Power Tailgate: Hands-free opening for when youre loaded down with groceries or gear for a UTEP tailgate.The Transmission Feel: The 8-speed Dual-Clutch (DCT) can sometimes feel a little "creepy" or jerky in bumper-to-bumper traffic compared to a traditional automatic. Its built for performance, so it likes to move. If you do a lot of stop-and-go on Mesa Street, it takes a week or two to get used to the pedal feel.
Low-Emission Vehicle (ULEV70): Its an ultra-low emission vehicle, which doesn't just help the environment; it typically means the engine is highly efficient, keeping your fuel costs down even with 281 horses under the hood.The 2022 Kia Sorento SX FWD is the "Sport Sedan" of SUVs. Its for the El Paso driver who needs a third row for the family but doesn't want to drive a "mom-taxi." It has the turbo-moxie to handle our elevation and the tech-forward interior to make the desert commute feel like a premium experience.
