The 2019 Kia Sorento will have remote start as a standard feature on specific models, including the EX V6, SX, and SX Limited. If you own a lower-tier trim model, you can have remote start added as an extra option that would have been bought separately from the dealership. If your vehicle did not originally come with remote start, you also have the option of installing an aftermarket kit which costs between $120 to $250 and can be installed within a couple of hours.
Instructions on utilizing the remote start feature on my Sorento EX.
I recently bought a 2019 Sorento SX Limited, but it did not come with the Remote Start key fob. Despite finding guides on how to activate remote start using the standard 4-button remote, all it does on my car is open the rear hatch. The dealer, after checking my VIN, stated I must purchase a $375 Kia kit to enable Remote Start. Your article suggests that remote start is already included in my car! How can I confirm this and obtain the necessary remote fob to utilize it? The situation is causing me both frustration and confusion.
Can I remote start my 2019 Kia Sorento v6?
The 2019 Kia Sorento offers remote start only in select models. The Kia Sorento EX V6, SX, and SX Limited include remote start as a standard feature, while the L, LX, LX V6, and S V6 do not. However, because all Kia Sorento models share the same base, it is feasible to have an aftermarket OEM remote start system added.
My Sorento, which is a 2019 Sorento SX V6, does not come equipped with remote start functionality.
If you own a 2019 Kia Sorento in the EX V6, SX, or SX Limited models, your car will come with remote start as a standard feature.
You are mistaken. The 2019 Sorento EX V6 that I have does not include remote start as a standard feature.
