The ride is okay, based on our few-hour drive, though in 2wd the rear tires got skittish on gravelly curves at modest speed.

Sorento is the only under-$30,000 SUV with standard front and rear side-curtain airbags.
New Car Test DriveMost Liked
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.
One Liner
Just a few years ago, Kia was as anonymous as a wanna-be rock star at karaoke night.
Comparison
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.
Model ReviewsMost Liked
The engine is smooth and powerful, barely perceptible at idle but producing a velvety roar at full throttle.
Least Liked
The EX has splashes of 'woodgrain' trim, which is plastic doing a poor job imitating wood.
The Sorento is Kia's entrant in the SUV market. It is a mid-size SUV with rugged body on frame construction. The Sorento is available in rear-wheel drive Base, LX and EX trims, or as a four-wheel drive LX or EX trim. The Base and LX trims come standard with a 242-hp 3.3-liter V6 engine while the EX models are powered by a 262-hp 3.8-liter V6 engine. A five-speed automatic transmission with manual sequential shifting mode is the only transmission offered. Standard safety features include side curtain and knee airbags, four-wheel disc anti-lock brakes, active front head restraints and an electronic stability system.EX trims receive leather seating for 2009.
