Upscale Creature Comforts combined with Technological Enhancements
With both five and seven passenger seating configurations, the Sorento personifies versatility. With 4,035 liters of interior volume when equipped with five seats or 4,230 liters with seven, Sorento offers considerably more space than the previous version's 3,894 liters. With approximately 140 liters more in cargo capacity, the new generation effortlessly accommodates both passenger and cargo needs, from those simple trips to the grocery store to those weekend commutes to the cottage.
Sorento ride comfort is enhanced by an impressive array of standard technological features, including AM/FM/CD/MP3 audio system with SIRIUS(R) Satellite Radio capabilities and three months complimentary service(1), auxiliary and USB input jacks for connecting personal MP3 players and Bluetooth(R) wireless technology connectivity with steering wheel-mounted controls to enable hands-free operation for all compatible mobile phones. All EX models offer as standard, rear-view camera, automatic climate control, while available navigation and premium audio complete the contemporary, high - tech driving experience.
Upscale comforts can be found throughout, including heated front seats, air conditioning, windshield wiper de-icer, power-heated outside mirrors, a tilt and telescopic steering wheel with integrated audio and cruise controls and trip computer. In addition to those features, all automatic transmissions come standard with EcoMinder(TM) Indicator to assist with fuel efficient driving habits. Progressing to the EX trim provides even more well-appointed standard features including leather seating, dual automatic temperature control, power driver's seat and leather - wrapped steering wheel and shift knob.
Advanced Safety Features
Like all Kia's vehicles, the 2011 is equipped with a wide range of standard safety features. All trims come equipped with driver and passenger advanced front airbags, front seat-mounted side airbags, side curtain airbags and front active headrests, four-wheel Antilock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD). Hill Start Assist Control (HAC) and Downhill Brake Control (DBC) also come standard on all models, the former assisting in preventing the vehicle from rolling backward when trying to pull away from an uphill gradient, while the latter helps keep the vehicle moving straight and steady down steep grades.
Kia is committed to all aspects of pedestrian safety. For the 2011 model year the hood of the Sorento has been designed to crumple and flex strategically so as to absorb and disperse the shock of collision with a pedestrian, aimed at decreasing the level of potential injury.
