The 2015 Kia Sorento remains a formidable
competitor in the crossover utility vehicle segment, offering equal measures of
value and sophistication.
Available
in four trims — LX, EX, SX and SX Limited — the 2015 Sorento is offered with an
all-aluminum 3.3-liter GDI V6, which produces a smooth 290 horsepower at 6,400
rpm and a stout 252 lb.-ft. of torque at 5,200 rpm, and a fuel-sipping
2.4-liter GDI four-cylinder engine — enhanced for 2015 to provide greater fuel
efficiency — producing 191 horsepower at 6,300 rpm and 181 lb.-ft. of torque at
a low 4,250 rpm.
Power
is routed to either the front wheels or, optionally, to all four using an
enhanced Torque On Demand all-wheel drive system that seamlessly directs power
to the tire with the most traction and now includes Torque Vectoring Cornering
Control for added stability under certain driving conditions.
The 2015 Sorento comes standard with a
smooth-shifting six-speed automatic transmission. Also standard is Electric Motor Driven Power
Steering for improved efficiency. The steering also features an available Flex
Steer system that offers drivers a choice of three steering modes: Comfort,
Normal and Sport.
The
2015 Sorento
sports dynamic and sophisticated design elements, inside and out. Aggressively
styled front and rear fascias enhance the Sorento’s road
presence with a lower, broader appearance up front and a visually wider stance
at the rear.
For 2015, the signature Kia grille is enhanced with an
anodized silver metal or black mesh appearance, and the lower valance has been
opened to expose an aggressive cross-hatched intake. Front LED positioning
lamps create dramatic eyebrows while projector-style headlights peer from
behind tapered clear lenses. The Sorento
rides on handsomely designed 17-, 18- and available 19-inch wheels.
