Kia Sorento SUVs in Kamloops – Information & Prices

The Kia Sorento’s history starts in 2002 with the first production models. The first Kia Sorento was built using the same body-on-frame construction common to trucks, which gave it excellent off-road capability when combined with shift-on-the-fly four-wheel drive. The first generation’s design continued from 2002 to 2009 when the second generation was introduced.

The Sorento has always offered excellent reliability, and the second-generation 2011 Sorento was awarded the maximum safety rating by a number of safety experts including the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in the U.S. and the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP) and the Australasian New Car Assessment Program overseas.

For improved fuel efficiency, second-generation Sorentos and other Kia SUVs were built with a unibody construction as opposed to body-on-frame. Available in the new 2016 Sorentos is the 3.3-L GDI V6 engine, 2.0 L T-GDI 4-cylinder, or the standard 2.4L GDI 4-cylinder, along with a redesigned interior, and a variety of new features throughout.

Available in your choice of five and seven-passenger configurations, the 2016 Sorento offers one of the most spacious cabins in its class, so you can fit more people and luggage on your next road trip. The new Sorento offers more leg room for second-row passengers, an ultra-quiet cabin, and unique features like retractable sunshades in the rear doors. When the drive is this good, the destination doesn’t matter.

The 2016 Kia Sorento is equipped with a full suite of infotainment features sure to transform the daily commute into carefree ride. New features include the Microsoft UVO eService with Voice Command Navigation, vehicle diagnostics, and safety features like 911 Connect.

The 2016 Sorento provides your choice of three GDI (Gasoline Direct Injection) engines: the standard 2.4L four-cylinder engine with 185 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque; the new 2.0L T-GDI with 240 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque; or the 3.3L V6 that boasts 290 horsepower and 252 lb-ft of torque for excellent performance. A 6-speed Steptronic automatic transmission offers smooth shifting for great fuel efficiency as well as performance on demand. The Sorento’s fuel economy ranges from 8.2/11.1 liters per 100km (highway/city) for FWD models to 9.2/11.4 L/100km for AWD models.

The 2016 Sorento was born under the design philosophy of “Core future growth engine,” and includes more aggressive European styling elements. Aside from Sorento’s seductive lines, you will notice new reinforced sub-frames and rigid body, which improves handling and liquid smoothness over rough roads. With available full-time AWD, the Sorento is ready to take on tight turns, making you feel more than confident this winter season./div>
