The 2021 Sorento's AWD system features torque-vectoring tech and a center-locking differential, and AWD models also get a Snow driving mode. There's no word yet on whether the plug-in hybrid Sorento coming next year will be available in X-Line form, but the standard hybrid is a no-go as it is front-drive. Kia says the X-Line is only available with all-wheel drive, and the sole engine option is the Sorento's up-level turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-four that makes 281 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque. The X-Line has more ground clearance than the regular Sorento. The X-Line gets an inch more ground clearance than the standard Sorento for a total of 8.3 inches, about half an inch less than a Subaru Outback, and Kia says the X-Line also has better approach and departure angles. Visually differentiating the X-Line from normal Sorentos are chunkier-looking bumpers with faux skid-plate elements, dark gray 20-inch wheels, "bridge-type" roof rails and some exterior badges. Kia's tiny Soul was the first to offer an X-Line trim, and it seems like a sure bet similar packages will become available on Kia's other crossovers as well - in fact, Kia showed off a pair of Seltos X-Line concepts at last year's LA Auto Show. This new appearance package offers rugged styling, a higher ride height and some other special features. Kia made a lot of noise yesterday with the US debut of the 2021 Sorento crossover, and there was one specific model we hadn't seen when the global Sorento was revealed earlier this year: the Sorento X-Line.
