2011 Kia Sorento 4-door SUV

The New 2011 Kia Sorento For Sale In Orlando, Florida

The new Sorento 2011 is a bit longer and lower than its predecessor and includes three rows of seating for up to seven passengers. We have to mention that Kia has worked real hard to find the "ideal" size of a family car for couples between 25 and 39 with children under 15 years.

With regards of the Kia Sorento SUV safety features we have to say that it includes all the basics: 6 airbags, ABS, TCS, EBD and ESC. The front exterior has also been studied in the outside front to reduce the impact on pedestrians in case of any unwanted violations.

The exterior design highlights the front grille which extends to incorporate the light clusters and Kia has also added flashing lights to the mirrors converting this year SUV to have a more modern design than all its past models.

Among the technological functions are included a standard sound system with six speakers, SIRIUS satellite radio, iPod connectivity, USB, Bluetooth and activation controls on the steering wheel.

The Sorento also offers two types of engine: a 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 172 horsepower and a 3.5-liter V6 with 273 horsepower.

We've seen both versions already on sale in a couple of car dealers around Central Florida and Orlando to be specific and noticed that these new KIA SUVS come with a new six-speed automatic transmission, designed to improve efficiency and you can choose between front-wheel drive or full.

BAD ...
The 4-cylinder engine is clearly insufficient for an SUV of this size and weight. Furthermore, it only offers one extra mile per gallon of gasoline vs. the V6 engine, so we see little reason for anyone to choose the former 4 cylinder.

IT IT WORTH IT? .....
This crossover or CUV is the first Kia car produced in the United States and continues to this manufacturer's plan to renew its model line in search of more modern designs and quality improvement that will raise Kia's image.
