Tuesday, December 7, 2010

Kia has launched its Kia Sorento SX. The new top-level model joins its LX and EX stablemates as a new sheriff in town, with more features, aesthetic distinctions, and one prominent suspension difference.

Restyled front and rear fascias, stainless-steel skidplates, LED taillights, chrome roof rails, and mirror-finish 18-inch alloy wheels are included with the higher cost of acquisition. The fresh sheetmetal getup gives the already crisp Sorento a subtle touch of class and blends exceptionally well with the Bright Silver paint choice.

The seats are comfortable, spacious, and oriented in a predictably commanding position, giving the Sorento a lofty driving feel. Feature standard heated leather seats, 10-speaker Infinity surround sound system with navigation, stainless-steel pedals and door sill plates, and a SX-specific gauge cluster and stitched cluster housing. When the seat upright, it leaves little cargo space for items larger than a backpack.
