The 2019 Kia Sorento has had a mild redesign, gets a new eight-speed automatic transmission, and comes with now-standard third-row seating. Edmunds special correspondent Elana Scherr loaded up the Sorento with gear and friends to find out how useful that third row is and where the Sorento lands on the three-row SUV shopping scale.

Q: What engine is in the 2019 Kia Sorento?
A: The L and the LX come with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine (185 horsepower, 178 pound-feet of torque) and a six-speed automatic. A 3.3-liter V6 (290 hp, 252 lb-ft) with an eight-speed automatic is optional on the LX and standard on the EX, SX and SX Limited. All but the L can be equipped with all-wheel drive.

Q: Can you get Apple CarPlay or Android Auto in the 2019 Kia Sorento?
A: Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across all trims. The technology in the Kia Sorento is one of its strengths. The SX Limited trim offers nearly every modern driving aid available, and everything is easy to figure out and worked well.

Q: How much cargo space is in the 2019 Kia Sorento?
A: The 2019 Kia Sorento offers plenty of storage space for personal items, with a specific pocket for wireless phone charging. There is only 11.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, which is the trade-off for the smaller exterior size, but with that row down, the Sorento offers 38 cubic feet. The power tailgate is a plus.
