2004 Kia Sorento Overview

Introduction

The Kia Sorento is a mid-size SUV that packs a big V6 engine.It seats five with lots of elbow room.It's built like a truck, with a separate truck-style frame.It will go most anywhere its rivals can off road.Yet the Sorento maintains a civil attitude on the pavement.Its long wheelbase and wide stance give it stability at high speeds and in corners.

What sets the Sorento apart is its price: $5,000 to $6,000 less than comparable SUVs.Yet it comes loaded with standard features.

For 2004, Kia has made the Sorento more appealing to enthusiast drivers.A manual transmission is now available and a new Sport Package adds Michelin tires, alloy wheels, fog lights, step bars, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a roof rack, and remote keyless entry.On the road or off, it is nimble and comfortable.Read full review
