Did you know that the 2016 Kia Sorento’s design inspiration came from nature, as well as in the journey to nature’s outdoor adventures?

Don't go where the path may lead

Inspired by the Cross GT concept vehicle, it’s brawnier stance communicates a more rugged personality. One that is made to accept outdoor challenges with ease.

Kia has been hard at work on recreating their brand and a passion for design and obsession with craftsmanship are part of their transformation formula. In fact, they have had their best 1st quarter ever in 2015 and only expect to see that trend to continue.

Advanced AWD System

The AWD system automatically routes power to the wheel with the most traction.

When conditions call for more sure-footed capability, the 4WD Lock Mode splits engine power evenly between the front and rear drive shafts.

The system also provides drivers the added stability of Torque Vector Cornering Control (TVCC).

The TVCC system is activated when steering sensors detect unwanted understeer.
