Best Custom Engine Block Heater For 2020 Kia Sorrento 2.4L l4 Engine

Question:

Do you sell a block heater for a 2020 KIA Sorento 2.4L I4 engine? As well, do you have any information of where the port is to install it? I watched your video but it was not specific to the engine model. Any information of location would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello Paul, thanks for reaching out. Yes, we do have a custom engine block heater for the 2020 Kia Sorento 2.4L l4 engine. For that you will need the following:

- Kat's Heaters Custom Fit Engine Block Heater - Cartridge Style - 120V - 400 Watts # KH11812

On a 2020 Kia Sorento with the 2.4L engine, the cartridge-style block heater installs in a factory freeze-plug port located low on the exhaust side of the engine block, usually toward the rear/driver side just above the oil pan rail.

Hey Paul, how did the install go with the Kat’s cartridge-style block heater on your Sorento? It’d be great to hear if the location info matched what you found on your engine. Your update could make it easier for others working on the same setup.

@JesseM No my mechanic ended up getting the part from the KIA dealership unfortunately and the location was apparently not correct though I they did not provide a follow up on the location. Thanks
