==Hybrid Models==
There are currently no [[hybrid]] models of the Sorento in production.

==Unique Attributes==

==Resale Values==
According to [http://www.kbb.com Kelley Blue Book,] "the Sorento is expected to hold about the same resale value as its closest competitors, at or just a few percentage points below the values projected for the [[Jeep Liberty]], [[Hummer H3]] and [[Nissan Xterra]]. With an expected 53 percent value retention rate at 24 months, the Sorento beats the [[Nissan Pathfinder]], [[Ford Explorer]] and [[Mitsubishi Endeavor]] in resale value."

==Criticisms==
*"The ride is okay, based on our few-hour drive, though in 2wd the rear tires got skittish on gravelly curves at modest speed." - AutoWeek
*"The EX has splashes of 'woodgrain' trim, which is plastic doing a poor job imitating wood." - New Car Test Drive
*"The two-wheel drive Sorento models are powered by their rear wheels and don't offer the level of traction in ice, snow or mud provided by the front-wheel drive competitors. The V6 performs well but is only mediocre on fuel economy." - Kelley Blue Book

==Generations==

==Current Generation: (2010–Present)==
[[Image:151642small.jpg|right|frame]]
{{stub}}
The Kia Sorento will be redesigned for the 2010 model year, and it is possible it might be a rebadged [[Hyundai Santa Fe]] on the [[Hyundai Sonata|Sonata]] platform.
{{-}}

===First Generation/Origins (2003-2009)===
[[image:2007_Sorento_purpleleft.jpg|right|thumb|450px]]
The Sorento has two transmission options: a 5-speed [[manual transmission|manual]] or 4/5-speed [[automatic transmission]] (pre-2005 models have a 4 speed [[Automatic transmission|automatic]], whilst 2005 Sorentos come with a 5 speed tip-tronic style [[Automatic transmission|automatic]] transmission). Sorentos are equipped with a Hyundai-manufactured 3.5L 24-valve [[Overhead Camshafts|DOHC]] [[V6|V6]] producing 192 [[HP|Horsepower]] at 5500 rpm, producing 217 ft·lbf of torque @ 3,000 rpm. The Sorento is very capable off-road, with an [[Automatic transmission|automatic]] 4-wheel drive system featuring low range gearing. A sport package is available for the LX base model which adds a 5 speed manual transmission, fog lamps, alloy wheels, step bars, a leather wrapped steering wheel, a roof rack and remote keyless entry. All American Sorentos also come with dual front airbags and dual side-curtain airbags in the front and rear. The [[Four Wheel Drive|4x4]] system is a shift-on-the-fly nob located usually on the lower panel to the left of the steering column. Three modes available are Two-Wheel Drive, Four-High, and Four-Low. On-dash indicators show when the Four Wheel Drive System is active.

Common features of the Sorento family are 4 wheel [[4-wheel disc brakes|disc brakes]] (standard on all models) Optional [[Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS)|ABS]] Braking System, and a 21.1-gallon fuel tank. Also standard is a battery saving feature which prevents wearing out the battery by leaving your headlights turned on (a shutoff engages when the key is removed from the ignition, even if the lights were left turned on). The chassis of the vehicle is also based on a ladder frame design which is more often used in building trucks. This lends a rigidity to the Sorento that other vehicles in its class lack, even at the same price point. (See Also: unibody)
