2011 Kia Sorento - Click above for high-res image gallery
The 2012
Kia Sorento will be available with the company's hands-free UVO infotainment system, and its brand-spanking new GDI direct-injection four-cylinder engine. With those new features, the big
Kia crossover can really dance with the big guns from the likes of Ford.
Other available options include Kia's YES Essential seat treatment, which makes the seats resistant to stains and static electricity and includes an anti-bacterial chemical. That, along with an entertainment system to be reckoned with, should keep the young family demographic very happy.
The Sorento's new engine uses the same GDI setup as the upcoming
2012 Rio, but this time it sees duty atop a 2.4-liter version of the brand's Theta II architecture. Thanks to GDI, the 2012 Sorento should closing in on 200 ponies, as opposed to the old engine's 175.
For those who aren't looking to upgrade to the Sorento just yet, the new options are also available on the
2012 Sportage. Click past the break to see Kia's full press release.
