Glassman Kia – 2025 Kia Sorento Snow Mode and Winter Features Serving Auburn Hills, MI

Winter driving in Michigan is unpredictable, and few vehicles are as well prepared for the challenge as the 2025 Kia Sorento. If your daily journeys or family adventures frequently take you between icy roads in Auburn Hills, scenic routes in Troy, or snow-drifted lanes in Waterford, you can count on the Sorento’s winter features to deliver safe and reassuring performance. A highlight of the 2025 Sorento is its available Snow Mode, built into the vehicle’s drive mode selector and engineered to optimize traction, stability, and confidence in slippery conditions. With torque-vectoring all-wheel drive available on several trims—including rugged options like the X-Line and X-Pro—Sorento drivers benefit from real-time power distribution among the wheels, reducing wheel slip during acceleration and helping maintain seamless control during sudden changes in traction.

During Michigan’s challenging winters, safety is paramount. That’s why the 2025 Kia Sorento integrates several standard and available technologies to keep your journey secure. Heated outboard mirrors with integrated LED turn signals and an optional heated steering wheel ensure increased comfort during frigid mornings. The available heated and ventilated front seats, combined with heated second-row seats in upper trims, mean both driver and passengers are protected from the elements all season long. Advanced driver-assistance features, such as Auto Emergency Braking with Evasive Steering Assist and Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, provide a critical layer of confidence when visibility drops or roads become slick.

Snow Mode: Instantly adapts engine, transmission, and traction settings for enhanced stability and controlled starts on snow and ice.
Heated Technology: Heated front and outboard rear seats, heated steering wheel, and available heated windshield wipers for frost-free driving.
Torque-Vectoring AWD: Available all-wheel drive automatically responds to changing traction, keeping you moving safely through snow and slush.
High Ground Clearance: Up to 8.2 inches on X-Line and X-Pro trims helps clear deep snow and protects the underbody.
Remote Start and Climate Prep: Set your ideal cabin temperature remotely before venturing out, so you’re never met with a cold car in the morning.
