Frequently Asked Questions
What size wiper blades does a Kia Sorento take?
Wiper blade sizes for the Kia Sorento depend on the generation. Driver side blades are 24 inches (600mm) on the BL and XM series and 26 inches (650mm) on the UM and MQ4 series, while passenger side blades range from 16 inches (400mm) to 20 inches (500mm). Owners should check the table above for their specific model year.
Does the Kia Sorento have a rear wiper?
Rear wiper fitment on the Kia Sorento depends on the generation. The BL series uses a 14 inch (350mm) rear blade and the XM series uses an 11 inch (275mm) rear blade. The UM and MQ4 series do not have a rear wiper, fitted with two front wiper blades only, which can be confirmed in the specifications on the product page.
What wiper connector does the Kia Sorento use?
The Kia Sorento uses a J-Hook style wiper connector across all generations sold in Australia, from the original BL series through to the current MQ4 series. This connector type is compatible with the click-and-go adaptors supplied with Wiper Blades Direct replacement blades.
Why did Kia remove the rear wiper on later Sorento generations?
Kia moved away from a rear wiper on the UM and MQ4 generation Sorento as part of a broader styling shift toward a more sloped rear windscreen and tailgate design, which reduces the build up of road grime compared to earlier boxier generations. This is a common trend across many mid-size SUVs of similar age.
How often should I replace Kia Sorento wiper blades?
Most Kia Sorento owners should replace their wiper blades every 12 months, or sooner if streaking, smearing or noise becomes noticeable during use. As a popular family SUV often used for longer trips, the Sorento's blades can wear faster with regular highway use and sun exposure.
