Pricing for the 2011 Kia Sorento has been revealed through Kia’s consumer website. It turns out that it’s actually not as expensive as it was initially estimated to be. For a starter model that is priced at $19,995 (plus $795 in destination charges), you’ll get a five-seat unibody crossover with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a manual transmission standard. The starter model’s engine is able to produce 175hp and 169 lb-feet of torque.
This engine is actually also what goes in the uplevel LX and EX models but these get automatic transmissions. At the very top, Kia offers the EX V6, with a 3.5-liter V6 that can generate 276hp and 248 ft-lb. All of the variants except the base also come in either front-drive or all-wheel drive variants. A seven-seat version is also available. A grips-at-all-fours EX V6 will ultimately be priced at $28,895. According to Kia, the Sorento is intended to “significantly increase [Kia's] share of the utility vehicle market.” At this price and with these specs, it looks promising.
