Kia Sorento Parts And Accessories

Sorento: a Kia Parts and Accessories Buyer's Guide for Canada

Your Sorento is a mid-size SUV unmistakably Kia in its upscale interior, features galore, efficient use of fuel and, perhaps most of all, its enjoyable ride.

Not every trim's created equal, though; LX and S, for instance, are quite different from the SX Prestige AWD and X-Line SX Prestige AWD -- and there's plenty in between, from X-Line S AWD and EX to X-Line EX AWD and SX.

In other words, if you're shopping Kia parts online in Canada, there are some things you'll need to keep in mind. That crossover you love -- for one, it has key feature differences (important to know when, say, customizing -- adding Kia accessories). Secondly, it's also got a few common problems you might run into (for which you'll need genuine OEM parts).

Good thing you came to us at Canada Kia Parts; we've got all the info you've been looking for.

Kia Sorento Overview

The latest 2023 Kia Sorento offers a choice of three powertrains: a 191-horsepower, in-line, four-cylinder engine with an eight-speed automatic transmission, an available 281-horsepower, inline-four turbo, and a 227-horsepower hybrid. Front-wheel drive comes standard, all-wheel drive (AWD) is available, and there's seating for up to seven in either leather or leatherette, with optional heating up front.

Popular standard and optional features include:

Common Problems with Sorento

Faulty Headlights

If you're driving a Sorento from between 2003 and 2016, it's got 130,000 kilometers or so on the odometer, and it's having headlight problems, they may burn out prematurely. Check any warranty your SUV still has left; you may have coverage for blown headlights. If you don't, though; you'll have to replace them. That can run $220 CAD or so, on average.

Bad Crankshaft Pulleys

Sorento models with 3.6-liter V6 engines from between 2003 and 2013 -- those with average odometer readings of 187,000 km or so these days -- have a known issue where they have trouble starting. If the engine vibrates or rattles to boot, most likely, the cause is a failed bolt on the crankshaft pulley. You'll have to replace it -- luckily, often for a little cheaper than the $181 CAD a pulley replacement can cost on average.

Faulty AC

If the air conditioning in your Sorento is overly noisy or vibrating, usually, it's because the AC compressor clutch assembly's defective. This was a known issue on models from between 2003 and 2014, with around 157,000 km clocked these days. The assembly will have to be replaced. Fortunately, it shouldn't cost as much as a complete (and usually, in this case, unnecessary) AC compressor replacement -- something that often runs anywhere from $1,153 to $1,325 CAD on average.
