Price of the Kia Sorento: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Incentives are enticing 0% financing and very competitive lease options
2011 4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 For the price, you get a very well made car
2011 4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Very competitive pricing compared to like size and equipped vehicles.
2011 4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 I bought pre owned and I couldn't find another brand SUV with the same features for the same price. Definitely a fan of the low price.
2008 4dr SUV turbocharged 168hp 2.5L I4 Diesel
5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range		 Our year old range topping Sorento XT auto cost £17000. The eqivalent VW, Audi, Land Rover etc start at £30000+ for the base models.
2007 4dr SUV 262-horsepower 3.8L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range		 For a 4wd with pretty much every option and being a 07 left over paying $20K for it was a pretty sweet deal.
2005 4dr SUV 192-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range		 Best price for what you get on the market today. EX model 4x4 for 25K. No other manufacturer can match it.
2003 4dr SUV 192-horsepower 3.5L V6
4-speed automatic AWD w/low range		 Because of the relatively rapid depreciation, it is a great value as a used car.

YearBody/PowertrainComment
2012 4dr SUV 191-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Not a terribly expensive vehicle, and a good value, but in comparison to the Dodge would be significantly more expensive to get anything close to the feature set the AVP Journey has
