Why is my Kia Sorento hesitating when accelerating?

I've noticed that when I press down on the gas pedal, my Kia Sorento hesitates before accelerating. What could be causing this issue and how can it be fixed?

It could be a sign of a clogged air filter. I suggest checking the air filter and replacing it if necessary.

You may also want to check the fuel injectors. If they are dirty or clogged, it can cause hesitation when accelerating. Try using a fuel injector cleaner or have them professionally cleaned.

Low transmission fluid can also cause hesitation in acceleration. Check the transmission fluid level and top off if needed.
