When you buy a Kia Sorento you’ll have two engine choices. Take a look at their specifications and see how the Kia Sorento towing capacity can vary, and how it works with your fuel economy on Flowood streets. 

2.5L DOHC 4-Cylinder Engine: 

  • 191 horsepower
  • 181 lb-ft of torque
  • 8-speed automatic transmission
  • EPA-estimated combined fuel economy of 26 mpg (FWD) & 24 mpg (AWD)

Turbocharged 2.5L DOHC 4-Cylinder Engine:
