The 2021 Kia Sorento SX-Prestige is the top-tier trim of the fully redesigned Sorento, offering a luxury-level experience and advanced driver assistance that rivals more expensive brands. It is a strong choice for those wanting a feature-packed, three-row SUV that is smaller and more maneuverable than the larger Kia Telluride.
Luxury Interior & Comfort
The SX-Prestige transforms the Sorento cabin into an upscale environment with premium materials and exclusive seating upgrades.
Premium Seating: This trim features embossed and perforated genuine leather upholstery with a quilted design.
Advanced Climate Control: Both front seats are heated and ventilated, and the steering wheel is heated. Second-row passengers benefit from heated captain's chairs and integrated sunshades.
Spacious Versatility: Reviewers from Edmunds note that all three rows provide better-than-expected comfort for a small SUV, with more second-row legroom than dedicated two-row rivals like the Toyota RAV4.
High-End Technology
As the flagship trim, the SX-Prestige includes exclusive tech features not found on lower models.
Digital Displays: It features a sharp 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10.25-inch touchscreen with built-in navigation.
Immersive Audio: A 12-speaker Bose premium sound system is standard, providing significantly improved audio quality over the base six-speaker system.
Connectivity: The cabin includes eight USB ports spread across all three rows, ensuring every passenger has access to power.
Advanced Safety & Driver Assist
This trim maximizes safety with the full suite of Kia's Drive Wise technology.
Blind-Spot View Monitor: When you activate a turn signal, a live camera feed of your blind spot appears directly in the digital instrument cluster.
360-Degree Surround View: A high-definition monitor provides a bird's-eye view of the vehicle, making parking in tight spaces much easier.
Enhanced Protection: It includes forward and reverse Parking Distance Warning and Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist (Reverse), which can automatically apply brakes if an obstacle is detected while backing up.

The SX-Prestige is powered by a potent 2.5L Turbocharged engine producing 281 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque.
