2021 Kia Sorento Skyrockets to Success in Tampa Bay
The 2021 Kia Sorento has hit every mark on shoppers’ wish lists. The powerhouse SUV doesn’t just offer unique style on the road and the latest features, but its two hybrid powertrain options will appeal to the masses. The Kia Sorento can now be powered by one of two traditional gasoline powerplants, a traditional hybrid powertrain, or a plug-in hybrid powertrain (set to arrive in early 2021.)
When looking at the base 2021 Sorento in comparison to the 2020 Nissan Murano lineup, the competing Nissan offers an extra boost of power. The entire Murano lineup is fitted with a 260-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 engine, limiting the choices of Tampa Bay shoppers. The 2021 Kia Sorento, on the other hand, is powered by a standard 2.5-liter engine with 191 horsepower on tap. The base power of the Sorento falls short of the Murano, but the Sorento can also be fitted with a 2.5-liter GDI 4-cylinder turbo engine mated to a segment-exclusive 8-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, delivering 281 horsepower and blowing away the Murano lineup.
