2016 Kia Sorento SXL (Limited) AWD V6 Review & Test Drive - Automotive Addicts
One of the latest redesigned models, the all-new for 2016 Sorento crossover, continues Kia’s insurgence among its competition that stretches to many different segments. Fresh off of the heals of the outgoing second generation Sorento, the new third generation 2016 model captivates potential consumers in more ways than one. Mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission and a sophisticated all-wheel-drive system in my SXL (Limited) AWD-trimmed Sorento V6 test vehicle, the formula remains simple. The 2016 Kia Sorento plays along to the tune for what growing and large American families desire in a versatile package. The large 19-inch wheels and meaty all-season tires do their job to keep the Sorento planted and relatively capable for a large crossover. Fuel consumption estimates for the Sorento SXL AWD are somewhat dismal on paper with 17 mpg city, 23 mpg highway, and 19 mpg combined. To the benefit of the new Sorento SXL AWD 7-passenger, I am at bay to say those figures are rather conservative as I saw much better results, getting nearly 26 mpg on the highway and a consistent 18. 7 mpg around town in stop-and-go traffic.
