2012 4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
The Kia Sorento had very good seating positions in the front for a very tall person, I'm almost 6'5" and was able to fit with the sunroof / panaramic roof. You get a feeling of control and confidence. You do loose about 1" or so with the see full Kia Sorento review

Need 7 passenger seating and the Sorento has delivered. Used 3rd row quite a few times with children AND adults. No complaints, although 3rd ride was usually no more than one hour. see full Kia Sorento review

The engine performs well see full Kia Sorento review
2012 4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6

The V6 is strong. The 6 speed automatic shifts smoothly and seemlessly. see full Kia Sorento review
2012 4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Quick acceleration (3.5L V-6), relaxed high-speed highway cruising; 6-speed, manually-shiftable automatic is unobtrusive and always in the right gear; automatic AWD can be locked in 4WD for maximum grip. see full Kia Sorento review

6-speed manual FWD
Excellent Next-Generation 4-cylinder that offers performance equal to many 6-cylinders but with the smoothness and refinement that is really unbelievable. The manual 6-spd trans is also amazing and fun. see full Kia Sorento review
2011 4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
V6 very powerful. Passing at highway speeds downright fun. Engine is smooth and very quiet. Efficient on the highway sips the fuel even with the full time AWD. Live at 7000 ft. so high elevation and mountainous terrain driving are common. see full Kia Sorento review

The 4 cylinder is okay but I'm used to manual transmission sports cars so it feels a bit slow, especially up hills. I think the sound of the engine makes it seem slower than it actually is. see full Kia Sorento review

Occasional jerkiness in shifting, but with 100K warranty on drive train, I'm not concerned. see full Kia Sorento review
