Kia Sorento
The largest SUV in the Kia family offers a nicely rounded package esthetically as well as performance-wise. Two powertrains are available, a 190-hp four-cylinder and a 290-hp V6. Whatever the engine choice, the Sorento is a front-wheel drive vehicle with optional all-wheel drive. The only transmission available is a six-speed automatic and, with nearly identical fuel consumption, increased towing capacity favours the V6.
