This Year's Model Updates:
The Sorento is an all-new SUV from Kia. Larger and more powerful than the pint-size Sportage (which is expected to return for 2004 after a 2003 hiatus, by the way), the Sorento straddles the emerging middle ground between small SUVs and midsize SUVs. And it does so while offering interested buyers true off-road ability. Key competitors are the Ford Escape, the Honda CR-V, the Jeep Liberty, the Nissan Xterra and the Toyota Highlander.
Pros:
- Great value, class-leading warranty coverage, long list of standard features, solid construction, true off-road capability.
Cons:
- Engine needs more power, subpar fuel economy, seat upholstery could stand improvement.
