A surprising winner is our Best Mid-Size Sport Utility Vehicle, the Kia Sorento. A real step forward for this up-and-coming Korean brand, the Sorento is an honest-to- goodness truck-framed SUV, that feels as tough and capable as anything built in America.
The engine is a strong, 192-horsepower 3.5-liter V6, which drives either the rear wheels or a choice of full-or-part-time 4-wheel-drive systems.
Ride and handling are on par with much more expensive domestic and import designs, while the cabin is roomy, well designed, and shows big leaps forward in fit and finish for Kia. And with prices for this mid-size SUV starting at a compact-size $19,995, maybe the Kia Sorento isn't such a surprise winner after all!
