00:02 I'm Alex with Motor Trend,
00:07 and we're here today with the 2024 Kia Sorento.
00:10 Kia just updated the Sorento three-row SUV for 2024,
00:13 including this new X-Pro version,
00:15 which as maybe you can tell by the dirt
00:16 down the side of the car,
00:18 is the most adventurous, rugged,
00:20 and exploration-ready version of the Sorento yet.
00:23 So does the 2024 Sorento X-Pro have what it takes
00:25 to let us have fun out here in snowy Colorado?
00:28 Follow along with us today and find out.
00:30 This generation of Sorento
00:35 is unquestionably the best-looking ever,
00:37 and Kia's given it some design updates for 2024.
00:40 The larger, more upright grille
00:42 aids the X-Pro's rugged impression,
00:44 while full LED headlights have amber accents
00:46 that won't be confused for something else
00:48 in the rear-view mirror.
00:49 New Road Rider brown paint, seen here on the X-Pro,
00:53 looks outdoorsy whether it's spotlessly clean
00:55 or covered in dirt.
00:57 Another nice upgrade for 2024
00:58 is Kia's latest CCNC infotainment suite,
01:02 which combines two 12.3-inch digital displays
01:05 ahead of the driver.
01:06 It's a lot faster, a lot more user-friendly,
01:08 and much more responsive than Kia's outgoing system.
01:11 Just how off-road capable is the Sorento X-Pro?
01:16 Think less Jeep Rubicon and more Honda Trail Sport.
01:19 X-Pro's spec equips the SUV with 17-inch wheels
01:23 wrapped in BFGoodrich Trail Terrain tires.
01:26 Those provide more traction on dirt
01:28 thanks to their tread pattern
01:29 and more impact absorption on pavement
01:31 due to their taller sidewall.
01:33 Otherwise, the X-Pro has the same 8.2 inches
01:36 of ground clearance as any other
01:37 all-wheel-drive-equipped Sorento,
01:39 although the X-Pro has a higher towing capacity
01:41 at 4,500 pounds.
01:43 Wrapping up a day of snowy fun in the 2024 Kia Sorento,
01:47 and what I've found is that it's just as competent
01:50 of a three-row family crossover as it was before,
01:52 but in this new X-Pro trim,
01:54 it's now more adventure-ready than ever.
01:56 So for all the specs info you need on the 2024 Sorento,
02:00 head to MotorTrend.com.
