Somewhere between a small crossover and a mid-sized SUV lies
the 2018
Kia Sorento. This right sized vehicle allows it to be city friendly
while offering storage, features, and accommodations reserved for much larger
SUVs.
The base model Sorento is equipped with a 185-hp 2.3 liter four-cylinder
engine and front wheel drive. Available options for power are a 2.0-liter turbo
4-cylinder, or a 3.3-liter V6. The 3.3-liter V6 is punchy and polished,
delivering smooth, unobtrusive, and effortless power. The six-speed automatic
is slick, providing timely and smooth shifting.
The Sorento provides responsive and secure handling, and the
steering is well weighted with an appropriate effort and response. A decent
turning circle aids parking lot maneuverability, and the available AWD system
is unobtrusive. A comfortable ride, quiet cabin, and optional 3rd row
seating makes this a smart choice for hauling the kids around or packing up for
a camping trip.
Once inside you will notice many technology features like Apple
CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth phone pairing, and voice controls that
command a myriad of functions. The UVO infotainment system teams with your
phone to make hands-free calls and manage music. You can download apps for
diagnostic capabilities, speed and curfew alerts, Yelp, Pandora, and iHeart
Radio.
The system also includes Siri Eyes Free and local search for finding
addresses and various points of interest. With a two-tone design for the
dashboard and doors, leather seats with decorative cross-stitching, and plenty
of wood and chrome trim, the Sorento's cabin looks more stylish and upscale than
many of its rivals.
Kia takes safety seriously with features like forward-collision
warning, lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency
braking, blind-spot detection, and rear cross-traffic alert help earn the
Sorento the Top Safety Pick Plus from the IIHS.
Test driving a 2018 Sorento is a short drive away at the
Olympia Auto Mall. Stop by Hanson

offer. We look forward to seeing you soon.
