The refreshed Sorento is currently undergoing rigorous testing on the alpine roads of Colorado, showcasing its enhanced capabilities to the media. With models like the Sorento X-Line and the more rugged X-Pro equipped with torque vectoring AWD and a center-locking diff, the crossover proves its mettle in challenging terrains.
Priced above the LX, S, and EX models at $41,690 excluding destination charge, the X-Line EX AWD boasts a turbocharged engine delivering 281 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque, a significant increase from the naturally aspirated models. Alongside the power boost, it features a dual-clutch transmission, enhancing performance.
Adding to its appeal, the X-Line EX AWD offers Snow Mode, high-utility roof rails, open-pore woodgrain trim, gloss-black alloys, and a panoramic sunroof, making it a compelling option for off-road enthusiasts.
Notably, its improved approach and departure angles further underscore its capability compared to other models in the lineup.
