| In addition to the Kia Sorento's standard 175hp, 2.4L four-cylinder engine with DOHC and Dual CVVT for the LX (29mpg highway), Kia now offers the option of a 191hp model featuring a Gasoline Direct Injection Fuel System for 2012 (32mpg highway), a feature standard on the EX. Of course, the LX and EX (as well as the SX) are also available with a 276hp, 3.5L V6 engine with DOHC and Dual CVVT for even more power under the hood (26mpg highway). The Kia sports an electronically-controlled 6-speed automatic transmission featuring overdrive with Sportmatic, and all models are available with optional Full-Time AWD with locking center differential. A MacPherson-strut front-suspension system and independent rear suspension provide precise handling, and all trim models feature Kia's Dual Flow Damper shocks for a smoother ride. |

The 2012 Kia Sorento features advanced active safety systems as standard equipment, with each one designed to help you maintain control, even in harsh road conditions and some emergency situations. Electronic Stability Control monitors your Sorento's response during emergency maneuvers, then controls the engine and brakes to help keep you on course. The Traction Control System senses wheel spin during acceleration, then uses engine power and brake force to transfer power to the wheels that have the most traction. The Brake Assist System applies full braking force in instances where emergency braking is detected, helping to shorten your overall stopping distance. Electronic Brake-force Distribution adjusts the front-to-rear balance of brake pressure to help maintain more consistent braking as vehicle loads and weight distribution change. And Hill-start Assist Control and Downhill Brake Control are there to assist you in negotiating steep inclines and declines.
The 2012 Kia Sorento features unibody construction to help provide a smooth, quiet ride. Its stylish exterior is especially pronounced on the SX, where unique design details includes stainless-steel front and rear accent plates, body-color bumpers and a lower stance. The expansive interior of the Sorento has exceptional head- and legroom, with room for up to seven passengers thanks to available split-folding third-row seats. Additional interior options include an eight-way power adjustable driver's seat with lumbar support, memory driver's seat and mirrors, an air-cooled driver's seat, four-way power front passenger's seat and an ionized air-filtration system. SX models offer standard leather-trimmed seats, stainless-steel pedals and a stitched dash visor. |

All Sorento models offer power windows and locks; an audio system with AM, FM, CD, MP3 and SiriusXM-ready capability; USB auxiliary input jacks; Bluetooth wireless technology; and a tilt and telescopic steering column with steering wheel-mounted audio, Bluetooth and cruise control buttons. New for 2012 with EX models is Kia UVO Powered by Microsoft, a voice-activated system that lets you manage music conveniently and enjoy hands-free use of your phone, with an intuitive touch screen and Microsoft advanced voice-activation technology that actually recognizes your speech pattern and voice inflection.
