The redesigned 2016 Kia Sorento midsize SUV has a longer wheelbase and stiffer body with stronger shoulders and longer hood than its predecessor. A new turbocharged 2.0-liter engine is available as are more high-tech features. Built in the United States, the Sorento is Kia’s second best-selling model.


Here are five fast facts about the 5-passenger 2016 Kia Sorento:

1) The Sorento is available in five trim levels: L, LX, EX, SX, and SXL or Limited, and 2- and 3-row configurations. The upscale SX and Limited include heated adjustable seats and steering wheel, keyless ignition, and a power liftgate. The Limited comes with leather interior and advanced safety systems. Four new alloy wheel designs are available. Overall cargo volume expands to 74 cu. ft. with the second- and third-row seats folded.
2) The most fuel-efficient version of the Sorento is the front-wheel-drive (FWD) 4-cylinder model, which is EPA-rated at 21 mpg city and 29 mpg highway. All-wheel-Drive (AWD) variants are less efficient.
