If you are planning a spring break trip down to the Panhandle, the Kia Sorento is your ultimate travel companion, delivering the perfect balance of rugged capability, passenger comfort, and efficient performance. Whether you are cruising I-10 toward Destin or taking the scenic route to St. George Island, the right SUV completely transforms your vacation.

Here at Werner Kia, we have spent years equipping Tallahassee families for their coastal getaways. As veteran automotive professionals, we know exactly what a vehicle needs to endure salt air, sandy gear, and long stretches of highway. We have seen families try to squeeze into undersized crossovers, only to end up with cramped legs and ruined moods before they even cross the county line. That is why we consistently recommend the Kia Sorento for adventures.

Built for Florida Highway Cruising

When you load up the family for a week at the beach, you need an engine that can handle a full payload without struggling to pass on the highway. The Sorento offers robust powertrain options, including a potent turbocharged engine that makes merging onto busy coastal highways effortless.

Space for the Whole Crew

The magic of the Kia Sorento lies in its incredibly versatile cabin layout. It offers standard third-row seating, which is a massive advantage when your kids want to bring a friend along for the trip.

  • Smart Cargo Solutions: With 50/50 split-folding third-row seats, you can easily customize your cargo area. Fold them down to fit oversized coolers, beach umbrellas, and luggage.
  • Captain’s Chairs: Available second-row captain’s chairs provide premium comfort, offering passengers personal space and easier access to the third row.
  • Hidden Storage: Under-floor storage compartments are perfect for tucking away valuables while you are out enjoying the waters.
If you want to see exactly how much gear you can fit into this exceptional cabin, we invite you to explore our new Kia Sorento inventory and find the trim level that matches your family’s needs.

Advanced Tech for Unpredictable Weather

Spring in Florida means sunny mornings can quickly turn into torrential afternoon downpours. The Sorento’s available torque-vectoring all-wheel drive (AWD) actively monitors road conditions and distributes power to the wheels with the most traction, keeping you planted on rain-slicked roads.

Furthermore, keeping the family entertained during those sudden rain delays is simple. The intuitive infotainment system features seamless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration, ensuring your navigation and road trip playlists are always ready to go. Multiple USB ports spread across all three rows mean every passenger can keep their devices charged.

Before you load up the family and hit the road this spring, it is crucial to ensure your current vehicle is road-trip ready. We highly recommend having our expert service department check your tire tread depth, brake pads, and fluid levels. A quick pre-trip inspection is the best way to prevent unexpected breakdowns that could derail your vacation.
