The DYNAMAX automatic full-time AWD system works continuously with Drive Mode Select w/Terrain Mode, allowing you to tailor traction to varying road conditions and rough surfaces. Built on an independent strut front and multi-link rear suspension with gas-pressurized shock absorbers, the Sorento delivers a controlled, smooth ride quality. Underbody protection is enhanced with 2 underbody skid plates, while 20 x 8.5-inch black aluminum wheels wrapped in P255/45HR20 all-season tires provide a confident footprint. Despite its robust performance capabilities, the Sorento maintains balanced efficiency with an EPA-estimated 20 city MPG and 27 highway MPG.
