When cold won't start right away

Kia Sorento 2013 Automatic 65000 miles
When first attempting to start in cold weather the engine will not engage. All lights are on and ready to go. After turning the key many times it will eventually engage the engine.
I've had it checked out but because it starts perfectly after it's warmed up I can't find anything wrong. Could it be a bad ground?

Same issue here. Will not start when weather is in 30’s-40’s. All dash lights come on. Battery fine.
As soon as weather warms up to 60’s, starts right up.

I’m having the same issue with my 2011 Sorento. It only happens on the first start of the day in cold weather. Any ideas?
