2016 Kia Sorento: A Masterful Remake - The Epoch Times
Kia has redone its award winning (J. D. Power 2015 IQS) mid-sized Sorento crossover for the 2016 model year. The consensus—Kia has done a masterful job in updating its popular SUV from the standpoint of styling, performance, technology and interior enhancements. The new Sorento has a 3-inch longer wheelbase, it’s slightly wider, and it’s a bit lower. Overall, it looks sleeker, the hood looks longer and it actually appears lower than the one half-inch that Kia claims. The interior has also been reworked as Kia tries to lift it into the ranks of premium utility vehicles. The new Kia comes in five trim levels starting at $25,795—L, LX, EX, SX, and SX Limited, two-or three row seating configurations, and with three engine choices including one new for 2016. Standard in the L and LX is the 2. 4 L 4-cylinder that... A new 240 hp turbocharged 2. 0 L 4-cylinder is standard on the EX and SX Limited, and the carryover 3. 3 L V6 making 290 hp and 252 lb-ft of torque is standard on the SX and available on the EX and SX Limited. But all-wheel drive can be added to any trim level or engine configuration for $1,800. We’ve driven the V6 in years past and found it among the class leaders in performance.
