All models come paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. As tested, the EX edition came with the V-6 and I must say it delivers excellent performance. The V-6 delivers 290 horsepower and 252 foot-pounds of torque. The new engine provides middle of the model range performance - the base 2.4-liter, four-cylinder engine makes 185 horsepower and 178 foot-pounds of torque. Three Engine Choicesįor 2016, the Sorento gains a third engine choice - a 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder making 240 horsepower and 260 foot-pounds of torque. You can choose two- or three-row models among the eight trim levels available. Although it shares its platform with the Hyundai Santa Fe, the Sorento is sold only in a longer wheelbase configuration. This model is all new and begins the third generation for this five- or seven-passenger model.

Indeed, nearly every model put forth by Kia has been lauded for its outstanding style, generous standard equipment, and superior build quality.
