PROS
CONS
The Kia Sorento midsize crossover has been completely redesigned for 2011, now using a car-like unibody construction. The Sorento is available in front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive and in 5 or 7-seat configurations. Engine options include a 175-hp 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a 276-hp 3.5-liter V6. Fuel economy is decent for the segment, but suffers with all-wheel drive models. Base front-wheel drive models use a 6-speed manual transmission, while all others use a 6-speed automatic transmission.
Traction control, stability-control, four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, overhead curtain airbags, anti-whiplash head restraints and ignition disable are just a few of the standard safety features offered. Interior upgrades include dual-zone automatic climate control, satellite radio, heated front seats, a navigation system and a rearview camera.
