2027 Sorento Trim Lineup at a Glance in Hamburg

Trim-by-Trim Breakdown

Sorento LX: $32,590 starting MSRP

Front-wheel drive; 17-inch alloy wheels; cloth seat trim.

LX puts three-row seating and the 12.3-inch touchscreen at the lowest Sorento starting price. Its 186-hp engine and eight-speed automatic suit ordinary passenger travel. Seven seats are standard, so a household gains the extra second-row position without moving up to an EX. The 2,000-lb maximum tow rating applies when properly equipped.

Sorento S: $35,490 starting MSRP

Front-wheel drive or available AWD; 18-inch alloy wheels; SynTex seat trim.

S keeps the seven-seat bench and 186-hp powertrain, while adding heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control and wireless phone charging. Its 235/60R18 tires differ from the LX’s 17-inch setup. The available AWD system adds a drivetrain choice for buyers who want seven seats with the naturally aspirated engine.

Sorento EX: $38,690 starting MSRP

Front-wheel drive or available AWD; 20-inch alloy wheels; seven seats standard.

EX brings 274 hp and 311 lb-ft from the turbocharged 2.5L engine, paired with an eight-speed wet dual-clutch automatic. A second-row bench is standard. Its Premium Package offers captain’s chairs and six seats. A properly equipped EX is rated to tow up to 3,500 lbs, giving it a different role from the lower-powered seven-seat models.

Sorento SX: $42,490 starting MSRP

Front-wheel drive; 20-inch alloy wheels; six seats.

SX combines turbo power with a panoramic sunroof, captain’s chairs and expanded display equipment. It emphasizes cabin comfort and technology within a front-wheel-drive layout. The manufacturer’s 2027 trim chart lists its maximum towing at 2,000 lbs when properly equipped, so its rating is identified separately from the EX and X-Line models.

Sorento X-Line EX AWD: $42,990 starting MSRP

Standard AWD; 20-inch alloy wheels; six seats.

X-Line EX AWD combines the turbo engine and captain’s chairs with X-Line styling, Terrain Mode and a listed 8.2 inches of ground clearance. Its panoramic sunroof and Bose premium audio support the comfort side of the trim. Maximum towing is 3,500 lbs when properly equipped. This is the X-Line starting point for a buyer focused on AWD and a six-seat cabin.

Sorento X-Line SX AWD: $44,290 starting MSRP

Standard AWD; 20-inch alloy wheels; six seats.

X-Line SX AWD joins the X-Line chassis and exterior treatment with SX-level technology and comfort. It retains the 274-hp turbo engine, eight-speed wet dual-clutch automatic and Terrain Mode. Its 3,500-lb maximum tow rating requires the correct equipment. The move from X-Line EX to X-Line SX adds equipment within the same AWD and six-seat layout.

Sorento X-Line SX Prestige AWD: $46,990 starting MSRP

Standard AWD; 20-inch alloy wheels; six seats with leather trim.

X-Line SX Prestige AWD has leather seat trim, heated second-row seating and driver’s memory settings, alongside Blind-Spot View Monitor and Surround View Monitor. The turbo engine still produces 274 hp and 311 lb-ft, and properly equipped maximum towing is 3,500 lbs. It serves the buyer seeking the richer interior with the X-Line’s road-focused wheel package.

Sorento X-Pro SX Prestige AWD: $47,990 starting MSRP

Standard AWD; 17-inch alloy wheels and all-terrain tires; six seats with leather trim.

X-Pro SX Prestige AWD adds its own wheel-and-tire package and a maximum 4,500-lb tow rating when properly equipped. Its 235/65R17 all-terrain tires differ from the X-Line Prestige’s 255/45R20 tires. The cabin retains Prestige equipment, including leather and heated second-row seats. X-Pro is the Sorento choice for the higher trailer rating and the smaller-wheel all-terrain setup.

Sorento Hybrid EX: $39,090 starting MSRP

Hybrid EX pairs a turbocharged 1.6L engine with electric assistance for 232 hp and 270 lb-ft combined. Front-wheel drive is standard and AWD is available. It has 19-inch wheels, heated front seats, a power driver’s seat, a Smart Power Liftgate and navigation. Seven seats are standard; the Premium Package offers six-seat captain’s chairs. This is the Hybrid starting point for households that want the bench seat.

Sorento Hybrid X-Line EX AWD: $43,090 starting MSRP

Hybrid X-Line EX AWD includes all-wheel drive, Terrain Mode, six seats, a panoramic sunroof, SynTex upholstery and Bose audio. Its 232-hp system uses a six-speed automatic rather than the gas turbo model’s dual-clutch transmission. EPA combined economy is 34 mpg. It combines the X-Line appearance and captain’s-chair layout with the Hybrid powertrain.

Sorento Hybrid X-Line SX Prestige AWD: $47,590 starting MSRP

Hybrid X-Line SX Prestige AWD adds leather seat trim, heated second-row seats, driver’s memory settings and the dual-display arrangement. Blind-Spot View Monitor and Surround View Monitor are included. It has six seats, AWD, 19-inch wheels and a six-speed automatic. The extra cabin and camera equipment is the main step beyond Hybrid X-Line EX AWD; combined system output remains 232 hp.
