The 2005 Kia Sorento is a mid-size SUV that originally debuted as part of the model's first-generation lineup. It’s powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine that dishes out 192 horsepower mated with a five-speed automatic or manual transmission. The Sorento's engine power is fairly robust among competitors, and it's equipped with either RWD or optional 4WD. In terms of trim levels, the 2005 Sorento comes in LX and EX. Both feature air conditioning, power locks and windows, and a CD stereo. The EX trim adds comforts like a sunroof, keyless entry and wood-grain interior accents. While it may lack some of today's common high-tech features, the Sorento stands out with its strong pull capacity and well-designed interior. Unfortunately, it lacks modern safety features such as stability control or side curtain airbags, which were not standard during this year.
