If you’re in the market for a new SUV, the 2021 Kia Sorento makes for a pretty get pick. It’s stylish, fun to drive, and its base price is pretty affordable. But those aren’t the only reasons that you need the Kia Sorento in your life.

You’ll enjoy driving the 2021 Kia Sorento

At the heart and soul of this year’s new Kia Sorento is a 191-hp 2.5-liter inline-four-cylinder engine. This year’s model is also available with a hybrid engine, and a turbocharged engine if you’re looking for even more power under the hood. But no matter which engine you choose? CarBuzz reports that the 2021 Sorento is pretty fun to drive. “Everything from the suspension to the steering feel is calibrated better than most midsize crossovers. In fact, there are a number of German luxury automakers that could learn a thing or two from how the Sorento handles around a corner,” CarBuzz explains.

The 2021 Kia Sorento offers three-row potential

According to CarBuzz, the 2021 Kia Sorento is categorized as a “tweener” among its segment. It competes with vehicles like the Chevy Blazer, Ford Edge, Honda Passport, Nissan Murano, and the Volkswagen Atlas CrossSport. But, unlike some of its competitors, the 2021 Kia Sorento offers three rows of seating. Now, that third-row only offers 29.6 inches of legroom, so you shouldn’t expect it to be the most spacious. But in a pinch? The Kia Sorento’s third-row will definitely do.

The 2021 Kia Sorento is perfect if you need a ton of space

This year’s new Kia Sorento doesn’t just offer the possibility of a third row. It also offers up plenty of cargo space, making it the ideal fit for growing families. Behind its third-row of seating, this year’s model offers 12.6 cubic feet. Fold that third-row down, and the Sorento’s cargo area opens up to 45 cubic-feet of space. And if you fold down all rows of seating? The 2021 Sorento’s available cargo space swells to an impressive 75.5 cubic-feet of space, which should be more than enough space for you and your brood.

It comes stocked with the latest tech-savvy features

The 2021 Kia Sorento is no stranger to tech-savvy features either. This year’s model comes standard with an 8-inch touchscreen display featuring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It’s also standard with six USB outlets but is available with eight charging ports and wireless charging. And if those tech features aren’t quite enough for you?

With a base price of $29,390, the 2021 Sorento is cheaper than competitors like the Ford Edge and the Honda Passport.
