2012 Kia Sorento EX AWD
2012 Kia Sorento EX AWD - Editors' Notebook - Automobile Magazine
The Sorento is a respectable but not outstanding three-row crossover.

Here's an example of when not to pick the smaller engine. Compared to the V-6-powered example we drove last summer, this four-cylinder Kia Sorento feels lethargic in urban driving. There's plenty of power for merging onto a highway, but the lack of torque is notable in the city. Because the all-wheel-drive Sorento is relatively heavy (3737 pounds) and the engine doesn't make that much low-end torque (181 lb-ft at 4250 rpm), the automatic transmission hunts up and down with annoying frequency.
