Review Kia Sorento The Best Midsized SUV
Review Kia Sorento The Best Midsized SUV
Review
As Malcolm prove the holder, it can be difficult to be in the middle. But the Kia Sorento has been doing very well occupy an intermediate position between compact and midsize SUV. The completely redesigned 2016 Sorento continues this tradition, but now her needle swing slightly out of the center of one side to the other.
Look, the previous generation Sorento might be considered a little more for a compact SUV like the Toyota RAV4, with quality and a set of driving dynamics similar domestic alternatives. 2016 Kia Sorento, on the contrary, literally and figuratively grown into more than one alternative from the smallest to the biggest crossover of the family, the most sophisticated such as the Toyota Highlander. And take into account the configuration with five and seven seats available, it is closer to the middle row crossovers like the Ford Edge doubles while the price of an understatement.
These changes go beyond 2016 for more interior space and cargo. In fact, this increase is not significant compared to the increased interior refinement and driving. In short, the 2016 Sorento is a superior vehicle. cabin material leaving little (or not) with the more expensive competitors, the function of the content embodies the word "generous" and even more exciting style inside and out. mechanical improvements include a reinforced structure, improved suspension and better handling, which together create a driving experience that is larger, more comfortable and fairly smooth. A four-cylinder engine with a turbocharger also join the lineup into their own environment between the base four-cylinder V6 engine power and thirsty, but was offered two rows of seats, strangely appears.
Overall, we were impressed with the 2016 Kia Sorento. This Kia is a solid alternative to a five-passenger crossover value rich as the Ford Edge, Hyundai Santa Fe Sport and the Jeep Grand Cherokee, and seven-passenger models such as the Hyundai Santa Fe and Toyota Highlander. It may still be stuck in the middle, but it was pretty good.

As with all Kia Sorento, front-wheel drive and standard six-speed automatic, while the four-wheel drive is optional. EPA fuel economy estimates are 24 mpg combined (21 city / 29 highway) with the front wheels and 23 mpg combined (21 city / 26 highway) with all wheel drive. Towing capacity of 2,000 pounds.
The EX and SX Limited is available with four-cylinder engine turbocharged 2.0-liter that produces 240 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. machine. In Edmunds testing, an all-wheel drive with limited SX turbo engine of progress to 60mph in 8.7 seconds, slow performance because these figures sound output. fuel economy is EPA-estimated 23 mpg combined (20/27) with wheel drive before and 22 mpg combined (19/25) with all wheel drive. Towing capacity of 3,500 pounds.
A 3.3-liter V6 SX is mandatory and is available on EX and SX Limited. 290 horsepower and 252 lb-ft of torque produced. In Edmunds testing, a SX all-wheel drive to reach 60 mph in 7.6 seconds, enough samples to cross from the V6 engine in this class. The EPA estimates fuel economy at 21 mpg combined (18/26) with front wheel drive and 19 mpg combined (17/23) with all wheel drive. Towing capacity of 3,500 pounds with front wheel drive and 5,000 pounds with all-wheel drive.
In particular, limited SX turbo 23.6 mpg in our circle drive 120 miles a standard, while the SX-V6 motivated returned 23.3 mpg. These results indicate that the real-world advantages turbo engine in fuel economy could be lower than the EPA estimates show.
