The 2011 Kia Sorento belongs to the second generation, having migrated from a body-on-frame truck-based SUV to a unibody, car-based midsize crossover SUV. This edition was made available in three trims, namely LX, EX and the sporty SX, with both FWD and AWD drivetrain options. Engine options included a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine offering 175 horsepower and a more powerful 3.5-liter V6 engine producing 276 horsepower, both paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. Notable features included a voice-activated navigation system, Bluetooth, USB and auxiliary input jacks, and an infinity audio system. Kia’s UVO infotainment system was jointly developed with Microsoft, featuring a 4.3-inch color touch screen and integrated rear camera display. In terms of safety, a comprehensive suite of airbags, electronic stability control, and Hill assist control are standard across all trims, contributing to the vehicle's high safety ratings.
