Joe Myers Kia is moved to be the premier site for the Kia Sorento in Texas. Joe Myers Kia is a Houston Kia dealership and carries a huge inventory of New Kia Sorento and top quality, high value used Kia Sorentos and other cars & trucks.
When shoppers compare the
Kia Sorento to other makes like the Ford Explorer, Buick Enclave, Mazda CX-9,
and Chevy Traverse, the 2012 Kia Sorento shines as the most fun-to-drive.
Starting with the 2011 Kia Sorento, owners found this affordable SUV's crisp
handling and lively acceleration to be reason enough to choose.
Beyond its dynamic construction, a 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder comes standard on this 2010 IIHS Top Safety Pick. Models also come available with the advanced engineering of Kia's 3.5-liter V6 engine, along with its six-speed electronically controlled automatic Sportmatic transmission. The engine is transverse, and the suspension is all-independent. Front and rear suspensions have Dual Flow Damper (DFD) Shock Absorbers. Netting 276 hp and 248 lb/ft of torque, the Sorento seamlessly combines modern technology with powerful force. Additionally, Sorento's steering is rather quick ? 3.0 turns lock-to-lock ? and ensures there is little slop off-center. Combine that with an available all-wheel drive and you'll find an engine that allows for fuel economy ratings of up to 29 mpg. Five-passenger Sorentos can handle up to 37 cubic feet with all seats up and 73 cubic feet with the second row folded. As for the larger model, no seven-passenger SUV costs less or nets more miles per gallon than the Sorento. Test drive one today at Joe Myers Kia in Houston.
With a starting MSRP starting
at $19,995, the Sorento's long list of accolades are impressive. Sorento uses
Kia's new corporate grille, known as the bowtie. Even base models (LX) come
with air conditioning, Bluetooth, USB and auxiliary input jacks, CD/MP3/Sirius
sound system, with steering wheel-mounted controls. Available seating for seven
and its exterior size say midsize SUV, but its price and standard four cylinder
engine say compact SUV. Along with its reasonable price, the Consumer Digest
Best Buy also comes with a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain
warranty.
EX and EX V6 offers up more high-tech features, including navigation system with real-time traffic updates and an optional 10-speaker premium Infinity surround sound system.
