Kia Applied Cars- The Sorento

2012 kia sorentoused automobiles like there Sorento SUV was introduced for the North American auto space back in 2003. This can be a mid-size SUV that stands out because it is 1 of a handful of SUVs in that segment on the auto business that will not use a car or truck platform to base its design on. The Kia Sorento competes against the likes on the Nissan Pathfinder, Honda CR-V and also the Toyota RAV4 just to name a handful of. My analysis will be on the Kia Sorento as a used car to have a look at.

This mid-size SUV holds five people-plus two. The speedometer and engine gauges are simple to use too because the climate controls, audio method, and navigation method from the center console. Some of the safety characteristics that come normal with all Sorento models are anti-lock brakes, stability manage and hill help manage (this assists to prevent the car from rolling back). Other safety characteristics are frontal and side influence air bags for front row seats and curtain airbags for second row seats. The SX model gives a rear view camera for backing up too. General the Kia Sorento is perfect to get a tiny family members.

There had been two distinct fuel statistics for the distinct engine sizes that the Sorento offered from 2003 to 2011. The older models had a 3.5- litre engine and this had a fuel rating of 16-litres, per 100km, for city driving and 11-litres, per 100km, for highway driving. Newer models either had the 3.eight litre or 3.3 litre engine. Both had equivalent fuel ratings of 14-litres, per 100km, for city driving and 10-litres, per 100km for highway driving.

There are many distinct engines sizes the Sorento had from 2003 and on. In 2003 the Kia Sorento had a V6, 3.5-litre engine and this2012 kia sorentoproduced 192 horsepower with 217 pounds, per feet of torque. In 2007 it changed it engine size to a V6, 3.8-litre engine and this produced 262 horsepower with 260 pounds, per feet of torque. In 2008 it added a V6, 3.3-litre engine for the line up.

Let's have a look at some pros and cons on the kia Sorento as a used car:

1- A web-based top customer watchdog reports that older models have mechanical complications and some drive method complications.

2- Kia Sorentos from all years are prone to having the brake rotors warping.

3- The National Highway Targeted traffic Safety Administration gave a 4 star rating to get a frontal crash test performed to it. I used the 2012 Kia Sorento for a test drive. It runs smoothly.
