2017 Kia Sorento Enters Second Model Year With New Tech

The 2017 Kia Sorento is now available for order with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.

On top of that, the automaker offers two new options to its best-selling CUV, the Advance Touring and Advance Technology packages, available on lower trim levels.

These are joined by the additional safety features such as autonomous emergency braking, advanced smart cruise control, forward collision warning, rear cross-traffic alert and dynamic bending lights, available at no extra cost on the range-topper SXL, which can be had from $43,900 in FWD and $45,700 in AWD.

Powering the L and LX is the same 2.4-liter I-4 engine, rated at 185 HP (188 PS) and 178 pound-feet (241 Nm) of torque, returning 21/28/24 mpg (11.2/8.4/9.8 lt/100 km) in FWD (city/highway/combined) and 21/25/22 mpg (11.2/9.4/10.7 lt/100 km) in AWD.

The EX continues to be offered with a 2.0-liter turbo, producing 240 HP (243 PS) and 260 pound-feet (353 Nm) of torque, EPA-rated at 20/27/23 (11.8/8.7/10.2 lt/100 km) in FWD and 19/25/22 (12/9.4/10.7 lt/100 km) in AWD.

The range-topping mill remains the 3.3-liter V6, with its 290 HP (294 PS) and 252 pound-feet (342 Nm) of torque, offered as standard on the SX and SXL and available as an option on the LX and EX. The first two return 18/25/20 mpg (13.1/9.4/11.8 lt/100 km) in FWD and 17/23/19 mpg (13.9/10.2/12.4 lt/100 km) in AWD, while the latter are rated at 18/25/20 mpg (13.1/9.4/11.8 lt/100 km) in FWD and 18/25/21 mpg (13.1/9.4/11.2 lt/100 km) with AWD.
