"The Sorento is the brand's best-selling vehicle..."
A 2012 Sedona is also arriving at dealers now, but there arenРІР‚в„ўt many changes for the model.
New seat fabric materials (same as the SorentoРІР‚в„ўs)
Uvo system now optional in EX and SX trims
17-inch alloy wheels are now standard on LX trim
The Sportage gets some similar updates, but no on-sale date was given.
New backup warning and sonar available on all trims (LX optional, EX/SX standard)
A heated steering wheel with wood trim and upgraded cloth pillar trim standard on SX
New three-position heated seats optional on LX and EX, standard on SX
Cooled seats standard on SX trims, available on EX trims
Third-row seating is no longer standard on LX V-6 trims, but itРІР‚в„ўs still an option
Availability of the new Uvo hands-free entertainment system
New cloth seat fabric materials that supposedly reduce staining and static electricity
New dual exhaust system with four-cylinder powertrains
Available power folding side mirrors on all trims
New direct-injection 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, similar to the one found in the 2011 Kia Optima
The Sorento is the brand's best-selling vehicle, so the new engine should be a welcome change. The current 2.4-liter engine returns a respectable 21/29 mpg city/highway with front-wheel drive. We'd expect the direct-injection version to get better mileage. We're unsure if Kia will continue to keep the current 2.4-liter as a bargain model alongside the new engine and the optional V-6. The 2012 Sorento should be reaching dealers now, the Sportage will go on sale in late June. More updates for the Sorento and Sportage are below.
Kia has made some alterations to its midsize and compact crossovers, the 2012 Kia Sorento and Sportage. The most notable of them is a new 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine for the Sorento.
