Kia Sorento Horsepower by Year
Kia Sorento horsepower ranges from 175 to 290 hp across the catalog years 2003-2022. The figures are a range for the model, not one rating that applies to every Sorento. The specific horsepower depends on the year and engine, so use the matching year and engine information in the catalog when comparing vehicles.
A lower or higher figure reflects differences in the listed Sorento configurations over those years; it does not mean every trim within a year has the same output. The range does not identify which horsepower figure belongs to a particular year, engine, or trim. If you need the rating for a specific vehicle and it is not listed, confirm it on the door jamb or in the owner's manual.
