2011 Kia Sorento EX - Click above for high-res image gallery

Kia loves America - more specifically, Georgia. Not only did the automaker just open a new manufacturing facility there last fall, but it chose the illustrious Atlanta Auto Show to debut the latest addition to the 2011 Sorento line, the SX trim. We won't have official photos for another couple of days (enjoy our gallery of the EX model in the meantime), but the SX will feature a slightly more aggressive design elements over the lesser Sorentos - things like revised front and rear fascias, new 18-inch wheels, a chrome exhaust tip and LED taillamps. SX-trimmed Sorentos will be nearly half an inch lower to the ground, as well.



The SX will come standard with the Sorento's 276-horsepower, 3.5-liter V6, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission - optional on LX and EX models. The only other major mechanical change is the addition of DFD (Dual Flow Damper) shock absorbers, which should provide better handling characteristics.



Inside, the SX comes standard with features that are optional on the EX model, such as leather-trimmed seats (heated up front), voice-activated navigation with a back-up camera and an Infinity audio system. Other changes to the cabin include a unique metallic gauge cluster with standard accent illumination and stainless steel pedals. Nifty.



Pricing for the Sorento SX has not yet been released, but we'd expect it to fall in the low-$30,000 price range. (By comparison, a similarly equipped EX model retails for just over $32,000.) SX models will start arriving at Kia dealers this Summer. Click through the jump to read the official details in Kia's press release.
