Bill Bryan Kia would like to introduce you to the 2011 Kia Sorento. The Kia Sorento is available in three trims - LX, EX, and SX. The Kia Sorento has come a long ways over the years. The 2011 Kia Sorento was completely redesigned for 2011. While previous looks were subtle, and nondescript in both styling and attitude this new 2011 Kia Sorento is bursting with style, power and tons of value. Major changes include a switch to car-like unibody construction, more powerful engines and a new third-row seat!
The all-new redesigned 2011 Kia Sorento is based on a car-like unibody construction which subsequently gives it a car-like ride. The new Sorento also offers a choice between a four and six cylinder engine, while most competitors only offer a four-cylinder. Not to mention it has near-midsize dimensions and capitalizes with an optional third-row seat.
Safety
The 2011 Kia Sorento comes standard with antilock disc brakes, stability control, hill-start assist, hill descent control, front-seat side airbags, full-length side curtain airbags and front active head restraints. In Edmunds brake testing, both four- and six-cylinder Sorentos came to a stop from 60 mph in 120 feet, which is very good for this class.
Reliability
Kia has worked hard to ensure the reliability of all their vehicles. All six new models for 2010 had average or better reliability, an impressive first-year showing.
