The 2016 Kia Sorento grows and moves more upscale, for a price - WTOP
WASHINGTON — The first car I ever tested was the 2014 Kia Sorento, and I found it to be a nice crossover that was packed with cool features for a decent price. Kia must have thought the same thing because the 2016 Kia Sorento has grown up and is more in line with what people are considering when looking for a midsize crossover. You can now equip some models with a third row of seats, making room for seven. If you want that third row, you’ll need to choose a V6 engine as the turbo four-cylinder models only come with five seats. Prices for a Kia Sorento start at around $25,000, and there are five trim levels, which means you can work yourself quickly toward $45,000 for the fully loaded Limited with AWD model that I spent a week with recently. The 2016 Kia Sorento has a new exterior look — it’s more modern than before, and it looks like it costs more than it does. It looks like a bigger, more substantial vehicle when compared to the last Sorento. I didn’t get to sample a seven-seat version but the five-seater has plenty of room — I’m not sure why the turbo four-cylinder can’t be equipped with a third row. The top trim levels come with heated and cooled front seats, rich-feeling Napa leather and a heated steering wheel. Source: wtop.com
