	Kia Sorento - Kia Motors America
		The Sorento boasts an impressive list of standard features like a powerful V6 engine, air conditioning, ample storage and seating space, power everything, side-curtain airbags and an 8-speaker CD stereo system.
		It's easy to see why the Sorento is a great value and miles ahead of the competition.
		Kia reserves the right to make changes at any time without notice, and without incurring any obligations as to vehicle availability, colors, materials, specifications, features, accessories, packages and models.

	2006 Kia Sorento - Ratings & Reviews - Dan Jedlicka - MSN Autos (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The attractively priced Kia Sorento has many of the best features of midsize sport-utility vehicles, and is the first fairly large sport ute from this South Korean automaker.
		The Sorento is about the size of smaller midsize sport utes such as the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Toyota Highlander, rather than larger ones in that category such as the Chevrolet TrailBlazer and Ford Explorer.
		The Sorento is no lightweight at 4,057 to 4,255 pounds, so fuel economy is mediocre: an estimated 15 mpg in the city and 18 on highways with 4-wheel drive and 15 and 20 with rear-drive.

	usnews.com: Auto reviews: 2003 Kia Sorento (5/2/03)
		The Sorento is the right height, tall enough for kids to have an enhanced view from the back seat but not so towering that toddlers need help getting in.
		Given all this, I was about as trusting of the Sorento as a woman who finds foreign lipstick stains on her husband's shirts.
		On curves, the Sorento felt nimble and controllable without lots of braking, a pleasing contrast to some SUVs that feel like they throw their weight from side to side every time you turn the steering wheel.

	cars.com:
		Kia chose the 2002 Chicago Auto Show as the host site of its newest model introduction for the U.S. market: the 2003 Sorento.
		The Sorento is “a tough, true sport utility vehicle” that is “significantly larger and more powerful” than the Sportage, said Chief Operating Officer Peter Butterfield during the vehicle’s unveiling.
		Kia claims the Sorento’s 107-cubic-foot interior volume is 7 cubic feet greater than that of the Grand Cherokee.

	2006 Kia Sorento SUV Review - Edmunds.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		A 192-horsepower, 3.5-liter V6 propels every Kia Sorento, and buyers have their choice of two-wheel drive (rear-wheel drive, that is) and four-wheel drive.
		However you equip it, the Sorento has adequate power in most situations, though with a curb weight of over 4,200 pounds in 4WD form, don't be surprised if it feels a bit taxed when you load up the family for a road trip.
		Overall, the 2006 Kia Sorento is a well-rounded effort that, apart from its thirst for fuel, has a lot going for it.

	2003 Kia Sorento Road Test
		Kia has taken all the experience it gained form the Sportage and "super sized" it to a mid-size.
		Sorento is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 that is rated at a modest 192 horsepower.
		Sorento is built on a ladder frame with nine crossmembers, making for a rigid structure.

		I remarked to the salesman that the Sorento rode as if it had a live rear axle (a heavy, solid axle with integral differential connecting the two wheels), like a truck.
		The cargo area in the Sorento is similarly compact.
		The Sorento's closest competitors are the Jeep Liberty and 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara.

		Sorento offers a wide track design, responsive steering and sophisticated suspension, ABS braking, powerful ventilated disk brakes with twin callipers up front plus driver and passenger air bags.
		The ladder chassis extends to the extremities of the vehicle and works with the body shell’s front and rear crumple zones to absorb impact while the passengers are surrounded by a safetycell compartment.

	Kia Sorento 1000km car review - Motoring - MyNRMA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		A compass/altimeter/barometer/thermometer is fun to monitor; the audio head unit is designed for countries where the driver sits on the left, so the main volume/frequency controls are too far away and the rest of the buttons are too small to easily hit.
		The Sorento has not yet been crash tested, but it has plenty of crash protection features, including tilt-adjustable head restraints on the front seats, pretensioner/load limiter equipped seat belts and airbags which deploy at a variable rate, determined by the size of a front seat occupant.
		The Kia Sorento shapes up strongly in terms of performance, equipment and off-road ability, but it is let down by poorly tuned suspension and uncomfortable seats, both of which you have to live with on every drive.

	Driving and crashing a Kia Sorento in Central Australia
		Driving a Kia Sorento in Australia is a privilege that few have had.
		The fact is that the Kia's undercarriage is quite low to the ground (compared to most other 4WD) and because the ruts in the sand were deep, the undercarriage was pushing against the sand.
		As the left wheels of our Kia Sorento entered the water and mud, the drag on the left side of the Kia went through the roof.

		Sorento, which is set to become Kia’s top-of-the-range prestige product, shares similar dimensions to cars such as the Lexus RX300 and BMW X5.
		Sorento is Kia’s first all-new 4x4 since the 2.0-litre Sportage was launched in 1995.
		Kia Sorento will be offered with a 2.5-litre Common Rail Turbodiesel and a choice of a 4 cylinder 2.4-litre or 3.5-litre V6 petrol engines.

	2003 Kia Sorento Car Reviews - The Car Connection
		Kia has elected to build a truck-based SUV whose rigid ladder frame gives it the ruggedness to tackle fairly significant off-road challenges.
		The EPA rates Sorento at 15 mpg city, 18 mpg highway, whereas the Liberty posts 16/20; and both of these are shamed by the CR-V's 22 mpg city, 26 mpg highway figures (albeit from a 2.4-liter in-line four making 160 hp).
		The Sorento has the looks to turn heads, the power to be credible, the versatility to be truly "sport/utilitarian." It even has an almost over-eager warranty of five years or 60,000 miles (ten years/100,000 miles for the powertrain alone), and includes five years of roadside assistance.

	Opinion - Kia Forum Kia Forums on the Sportage, Sorento, Rio, Spectra
		In my service book from Kia for my 03 sorento with V6 engine it states inspect at 30K (replace at 60K) also noted is it's not required for Sorentos in Calif. This should send a message that the 60K change is just a real waste of money.
		If Kia has to back up a broken timing belt without it being changed at 40k in Cal., but doesn't have to in the other 49 states and rest of the world, something is radically wrong here.
		I had reported that Kia was still using the 40k mark to change timing belts as this was still in the documentation I checked.

		On the other hand, Sorento is about all that most folks need in an SUV, for $10,000 less than the other guys charge.
		Sorento shamelessly presents itself as a handsome, American-style SUV, with styling hints of the Lexus RX300 for a luxury look.
		Sorento is 179.8 inches long, 74.2 inches wide, 71.3 inches tall on a 106.7-inch wheelbase.

	Kia Sorento EX - Reviews / Road Tests - Car and Driver - December 2002
		Dimensionally, the Sorento trades two to five inches in length for one to four inches in width relative to those trucks.
		As a result, passenger space, especially for three abreast in the rear seat, is better than average for the class, but the maximum cargo capacity of 66 cubic feet makes it one of the smallest in the class (blame the RX300-ish bobbed tail).
		The Sorento's three main rivals employ unibody construction, but Kia follows the GM and Ford approach and mounts the body to a rigid frame of fully boxed section side rails and nine crossmembers.

		As a result, seating is exceptionally roomy, especially for three abreast in the rear seat, but the maximum cargo capacity of 66 cubic feet ties the Pathfinder as one of the smallest in the class (blame the stylishly bobbed RX300-ish tail).

	CanadianDriver: Preview - 2003 Kia Sorento
		After a flurry of Kia vehicle introductions in the past couple of years, such as the subcompact Rio RX-V wagon, the compact Spectra sedan/hatchback, the mid-size Magentis luxury sedan, and the Sedona minivan, Kia is about to enter the mid-size SUV market with the new Sorento.
		The Sorento bears an uncanny resemblance to the new Honda Pilot SUV (see CanadianDriver's Preview of the Honda Pilot) — in fact if you were to remove the Sorento's side body-cladding, you could be forgiven for not being able to tell the two apart.
		Like other Kias, the Sorento will be covered by what is currently the best bumper to bumper warranty available on a non-luxury automobile brand: 5 year/100,000 km for the whole vehicle, not only the powertrain.
