South Dade Kia is dedicated to providing the best automotive experience in the industry. We understand that investing in a new car isn’t easy. There are many things to consider including size, MPG, and pricing. So do research, visit the dealership, and schedule a test drive of the new 2020 Kia Sorento.

Sorento V6 Towing Capacity

One of the Sorento’s most notable features is its towing capacity. This feature refers to the maximum weight your vehicle is able to pull while towing, such as a boat, trailer or even another vehicle. This requires a tow hitch which can be easily attached to your Sorento! The V6 tow package includes 290 hp and 252 lb-ft of torque, standard front-wheel drive, and has a towing capacity of 3,500 with FWD or 5,000 with AWD.

Kia Sorento LX Towing Capacity

According to the trim of your Sorento’s model will be how much towing capacity it will have. Standard equipment for the LX trim level is 185 horsepower and a 178 lb-ft of torque. This calls for an electronically controlled 6-Speed Automatic Transmission with Front Wheel Drive. This 2.4L 4-Cylinder engine attains a fuel economy of 22 MPG City/26 MPG HWY. This engine provides the Sorento with a 2,000-pound maximum towing capacity.

Kia Sorento Tow Package

If you are towing, you’re going to need a powerful engine. Some of the few advantages of a Kia Sorento lie not only within its aesthetics but functionality as well.

The Sorento has a locking center differential with every towing package which “lock” an axel in order to maximize traction. This forces your wheels to rotate at the same speed allowing for better mobility. This is perfect for those long road trips in the mountains or taking the boat out to the water. Available on all models, except the baseline Sorento L, Torque Vectoring Corner Control will change the way you drive. This feature optimizes torque, which is delivered to each wheel, ensuring superior control when you’re towing around a curve. This is vital to towing heavy objects and maintaining traction on the road.

4-Wheel Disc Brakes offer vehicles with a combination of disc and drum brakes, the Kia Sorento ensures more reliable performance by equipping disc brakes to all four wheels. This is vital to a vehicle with this much towing capacity because the weight of heavy objects makes it difficult to quickly come to a full stop.

The Kia Sorento tow packages were created with your adventures in mind. Tow thousand pounds worth of boat, trailer or even another vehicle, making the trip to your next destination a safe one!
