Sorento (update)
The 2017 Kia
Sorento is now available for order with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
compatibility. The automaker also offers two new options to its
best-selling CUV, the Advance Touring and Advance Technology packages, available
on lower trim levels.
These are
joined by the additional safety features such as autonomous emergency braking,
advanced smart cruise control, forward collision warning, rear cross-traffic
alert and dynamic bending lights, available at no extra cost on the
range-topper SXL, which can be had from US$ 43,900 in FWD and US$ 45,700 in AWD.
Powering the
L and LX is the same 2.4-liter I-4 engine, rated at 185 HP and 241 Nm of torque, returning 21/28/24 mpg (11.2/8.4/9.8 lt/100 km) in
FWD (city/highway/combined) and 21/25/22 mpg (11.2/9.4/10.7 lt/100 km) in AWD.
The EX
continues to be offered with a 2.0-liter turbo, producing 240 HP and 353 Nm of torque, EPA-rated at 20/27/23 (11.8/8.7/10.2 lt/100
km) in FWD and 19/25/22 (12/9.4/10.7 lt/100 km) in AWD.
The
range-topping mill remains the 3.3-liter V6, with its 290 HP and 342 Nm of torque, offered as standard on the SX and SXL and
available as an option on the LX and EX. The first two return 18/25/20 mpg
(13.1/9.4/11.8 lt/100 km) in FWD and 17/23/19 mpg (13.9/10.2/12.4 lt/100 km) in
AWD, while the latter are rated at 18/25/20 mpg (13.1/9.4/11.8 lt/100 km) in
