2025 Kia Sorento X-Pro 

in Brockville 

The 2025 Kia Sorento X-Pro is expected to be a more rugged, off-road-oriented version of the popular Sorento SUV. This trim level will likely be geared towards those who need an SUV that can handle tougher terrains while still offering comfort, advanced features, and modern technology.

Here's what we can expect from the 2025 Kia Sorento X-Pro based on previous models and typical upgrades for the X-Pro trims:

Powertrain & Performance
Engine Options:

2.5L Turbocharged Inline-4: Likely to deliver 281 hp and 311 lb-ft of torque for a more robust performance on and off-road.

Hybrid Option: Expect 227 hp combined from a 1.6L turbocharged engine and an electric motor, but it will be tuned for better fuel economy rather than raw power.

Transmission: 8-speed automatic (likely paired with AWD as standard).

Drivetrain: All-Wheel Drive (AWD) will be standard, with the X-Pro focused on better handling in off-road environments.

Towing Capacity:

Likely to be around 3,500 lbs (with trailer brakes) for the turbocharged gas model.

Hybrid versions may have slightly lower towing capacity, likely around 2,000 lbs.

Fuel Economy:

Turbocharged Gasoline Engine: Around 22-24 MPG city / 29-30 MPG highway (approximate).

Hybrid Engine: Around 39-40 MPG city / 35-37 MPG highway (depending on configuration).

Interior & Comfort
Seating Capacity:

Up to 5 passengers in the X-Pro trim, though a 7-passenger configuration may be available in certain trims.

Premium Cloth or Synthetic Leather seating (with the possibility of upgraded materials like Nappa leather on higher trims).

10.25-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility (wireless)

Wireless phone charging and multiple USB ports (USB-C included for faster charging)

Heated front seats and dual-zone automatic climate control

Panoramic sunroof for a more open, airy cabin experience

Spacious cargo area, with 12.6 cubic feet behind the third row (if equipped), and 75.5 cubic feet with both rows down.

Standard Safety Features:

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) with pedestrian detection

Off-road driving aids (likely specific to the X-Pro trim to assist in navigating difficult terrains)

Pricing & Availability
Estimated Starting MSRP:

The 2025 Kia Sorento X-Pro is expected to start around 43,000 USD for the base configuration. This can increase depending on the selected options and packages.

Availability:

Expected to be available at Kia dealerships in North America and possibly other global markets by the end of 2024 or early 2025.

Driving Experience
The Sorento X-Pro will likely offer an upgraded, off-road-ready suspension system with improved ground clearance, making it better equipped for rugged trails and dirt roads. It might also include special terrain modes (such as Snow, Mud, or Sand) that adjust the vehicle's driving dynamics for different off-road conditions.

The AWD system will be optimized for better traction in slippery or uneven terrain, and the off-road-ready tires will further enhance its ability to handle rough environments.

For everyday driving, it will still maintain the smooth, comfortable ride expected of a modern midsize SUV. The turbocharged engine will provide plenty of power, especially when accelerating on highways or when towing heavier loads.

Overall
The 2025 Kia Sorento X-Pro will be an excellent choice for those who want a versatile SUV that can handle both family needs and weekend adventures. It combines the rugged capability needed for off-road driving with the comfort, style, and tech features that make the Sorento a great all-around SUV.
