Yes, every Kia Sorento comes standard with three rows of seating. Base LX and S trims feature a 7-passenger layout with a second-row 60/40 split-folding bench, while EX, SX, X-Line, and X-Pro models include second-row captain’s chairs for a dedicated 6-passenger cabin.
The maximum towing capacity of the Kia Sorento is 4,500 pounds on the X-Pro SX Prestige AWD trim when properly equipped. Turbocharged EX, SX, and X-Line models deliver up to 3,500 pounds of towing capacity, while naturally aspirated 2.5L models are rated up to 2,000 pounds.
The primary difference centers on wheels, tires, and towing capability. Both trims feature 8.2 inches of ground clearance and torque-vectoring AWD with a center-locking differential, but the X-Pro equips 17-inch wheels with BFGoodrich all-terrain tires and an upgraded cooling system enabling 4,500 lbs of towing, compared to the X-Line’s 20-inch alloy wheels and 3,500-lb limit.
