Standard Kia Sorento Towing Capability

Standardly, the 2020 Kia Sorento is equipped with a 2.4L DOHC I-4 engine that works together with an Electronically Controlled 6-Speed Automatic Transmission. With this standard powertrain configuration, you'll get 185 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque.

With this power, and other necessary equipment, you'll be able to move up to 2,000 pounds of trailer weight in the Kia Sorento. That's more than enough towing capability to move lightly loaded utility trailers, pop-up campers for weekends in solitude, and even small boats and ultra-light jet skis.

Kia Sorento Maximum Towing Capacity

The 2020 Kia Sorento can be equipped with a more powerful 3.3L DOHC V6 engine that pumps out an impressive 290 horsepower and 252 lb-ft of torque.

When you pair this powerful engine with the standard front-wheel drive system, you'll be able to move up to 3,500 pounds of trailer weight. With 3,500 pounds of towing capability, you'll be able to move:

• All your large toys, like dirt bikes, ATVs, and snowmobiles
• Flatbed trailers piled high with home improvement project supplies
• Box trailers packed with boxes and small furniture for moving

For even more capability, pair the available V6 engine with the available all-wheel drive system. Together, these elements make it possible for the 2020 Kia Sorento to move up to 5,000 pounds of trailer weight. With this towing capacity, you can move small hard-side RVs, smaller recreational boats, travel trailers full of camping supplies, and much more.

Kia Sorento In-Cabin Hauling Capability

On top of everything you'll be able to move behind the 2020 Kia Sorento, you'll be able to move all kinds of cargo items inside the cabin. Behind the third row of seats, you'll have just over 11 cubic feet to work with. For a little more space, fold down the third row, which will give you 38 cubic feet of cargo space as well as five seats.

For the most cargo space possible inside the Kia Sorento, fold down all five rear seats, which will give you a whopping 73 total cubic feet of cargo space inside the cabin. Use this cargo capability to move items like ski equipment, camping supplies, full-size suitcase, and much more.
