2008 Kia Sorento Review
| "Sorento is the only under-$30,000 SUV with standard front and rear side-curtain airbags." (Source: AutoWeek) |
|
|
| "With all the available seat adjustments, such as front- and rear-cushion tilt, it's a breeze for short and tall drivers alike to get comfortable behind the wheel." (Source: Edmunds.com) |
|
|
| "The engine is smooth and powerful, barely perceptible at idle but producing a velvety roar at full throttle." (Source: New Car Test Drive) |
|
|
| "$5,000 to $6,000 less than comparable SUVs. Yet it comes loaded with standard features." (Source: New Car Test Drive) |
|
|
| "At the test track the Sorento ran to 60 mph in 9.3 seconds and took 17.1 ticks to run down the quarter-mile. These figures actually place the Kia near the front of the pack when compared to rivals such as the Ford Escape V6, Jeep Liberty and Hyundai Santa Fe." (Source: Edmunds.com) |
|
|
| "The Kia Sorento is a roomy vehicle, offering slightly more headroom and equal front shoulder room to that of the Jeep Grand Cherokee." (Source: New Car Test Drive) |
|
|
| "Just a few years ago, Kia was as anonymous as a wanna-be rock star at karaoke night." (Source: Edmunds.com) |
