Non-offensive styling
Sorento is handsomely styled, based on a school of design that Kia says celebrates, “the simplicity of the straight line.”
I like it, but it wouldn’t necessarily jump out at me, in a line of other handsomely styled CUVs, in the Wal-Mart parking lot.
Competitive Pricing
In the end, the Soretto will find lots of happy owners, because it has few faults, a model for everyone, and keen pricing.
The base four-cylinder model (LX) with manual transmission and FWD is $23,995.
Four-cylinder models are not available in 7-seater versions.
AWD models are only available with automatics, starting at $28,495.
The V6 is exclusively mated to the automatic, starting at $29,095.
The 7-seat AWD V6 LX is $30,995.
The EX range begins with the FWD V6 at $31,795, and tops out with the 7-seat AWD Luxury trim model at $39,195
