The Kia Sorento is going back to its roots … a little.

The three-row midsize SUV has been given a mid-cycle refresh for 2024 that includes the addition of a new X-Pro model with added off-road capability.

The original 2002 Sorento was a body-on-frame SUV.

The Georgia-built crossover of today features a cosmetic overhaul that brings it more inline with the Kia lineup’s latest look, and will initially offer a choice of two engines.

The Sorento’s interior is new and the dashboard looks like a shelf with wide frame placed on it, which houses the dual digital displays that serve as the gauge cluster and infotainment system interface.

The driver aids include Smart Cruise Control-Machine Learning, which is a kind of AI that can learn the driver’s style and adjust to it.
