I’ll give Kia this: They are not slow learners. After the runaway success of the Kia Telluride, the company wasted no time adding more classic SUV designs, more off-road capability, more passenger room, flexibility for kids car seats, passenger comforts and powertrain options. The latest iteration is the updated 2024 Kia Sorento. I spent a week in the X-Pro edition with family filling every seat. Even with a full load, this 6 or 7 passenger SUV, priced from about $32,000 (our test model came in at $49K), the 2024 Kia Sorento is easy to drive and lovely to spend time in.

The 2024 model year was updated pretty quickly following a full redesign in 2021—that not learning slowly thing, perhaps?—to show more of the Telluride’s DNA. And then, there are 8 gas-powered versions to choose from, 2 hybrid versions and 2 plug-in hybrid electric versions, giving buyers a good number of choices.
