How the 2021 compares with nearby years
Against the 2022 Sorento: the two manuals do not print the same part types, so there is nothing to compare line by line.
Shared with other 2021 models
- Oil viscosity 0W20: 4 other 2021 models in this site's data print the same, including Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, Toyota Tacoma, Toyota Tundra.
- PY28/8W (front turn signal lamps (type a)): no other 2021 model this site has read lists it.
- P21W (rear turn signal lamps (type a) and back up lamps (type b)): 1 other 2021 model lists it, including Ford Transit.
- W5W (rear side marker lamps (type a, bulb) and license plate lamps): 15 other 2021 models list it, including Ford Escape, Ford Explorer, Ford F-150, Ford Transit, Mazda CX-5, Nissan Altima.
- W16W (back up lamps (type a)): 7 other 2021 models list it, including Ford Transit, Nissan Kicks, Nissan Rogue, Nissan Sentra, Toyota RAV4, Toyota Sienna.
A shared number means the same replacement part fits both cars, so one spare can cover two cars in the household.
What the manual does not print
The 2021 Kia Sorento owner's manual does not list wipers, battery and filters sizes; for the battery, read the label on the battery fitted to the car, then check the size against the BCI group chart; for wipers, measure each blade end to end and buy the nearest whole-inch size.
16 positions are listed as LED in this manual. LED lamps have no separate replacement bulb; the lamp assembly is replaced.
Buying the parts for a 2021 Sorento
- Small bulbs: this manual names 6 replaceable bulb positions. Wedge bulbs such as W5W and 194 differ from twist-socket bulbs such as 7443 or 3157, so match the full number, including suffixes like NA (amber).
- Oil: Smartstream G2.5 GDi: Full synthetic SAE 0W-20, API SN PLUS/SP or ILSAC GF-6; Smartstream G2.5 T-GDi: Full synthetic SAE 0W-30, API SN PLUS/SP or ILSAC GF-6. Use the grade printed for your engine if the manual lists more than one.

Trim, engine and lighting package change some of these parts, so match the row that names your engine or trim. Before you buy, compare the number printed on the old part with the table above. See how this site reads manuals.
