How much cargo space does the 2019 Kia Sorento have?

Most people looking at big SUVs like the Sorento have a lot in mind when they make their purchase. Not only do you want to be sure that you can fit your whole family, which is a topic we will cover, but you also want to make sure that you have enough cargo room. How much cargo space does the 2019 Kia Sorento have? We’ll provide answers.

2019 Kia Sorento three rows of seating in black leatherHow many people fit in the Kia Sorento?

In years past, the Kia Sorento was available with a third row, but for 2019, that third row comes standard. This means that no matter what Kia Sorento model you choose, you can seat up to seven passengers with two in the front and rear and three in the second row.

Do the seats fold down in the Kia Sorento?

All those passengers can mean little room for cargo, but you don’t have to worry because you can fold the seats down. The third row has a 50/50 split down the middle and the second row has a standard 40/20/40 split allowing you to accommodate many combinations of cargo and passengers.

Before we get to the max cargo room, let’s look at the standard cargo room. Behind the third row, you have 11.3 cubic-feet of cargo room. This is comparable to many sedans except that you get to travel with seven people in the car.

If you just fold down the third row, then your cargo area expands to 38 cubic feet, and you are still accommodating up to five people in the interior. When you maximize cargo room and fold down both the second row and the third row, then you get an astounding 73 cubic-feet of cargo room while still providing comfortable seating for the driver and the front row passenger.
