The Kia Sorento is a mid sized crossover SUV which was produced and sold by the Kia Motors company from 2002 until 2009

. The Sorento has been discontinued and will not continue with a 2010 model. The Sorento was a popular car because of its affordable price and its excellent safety ratings.

The 2009 Kia Sorento came with two different engine options. The first engine option which came standard with the Sorento was a 3.3 liter six cylinder engine that produced 242 horsepower. Towing capacity with the 3.3 liter engine was about 3,500 pounds. The 3.3 liter Sorento engine got an EPA estimated 16 miles per gallon in the city and 22 miles per gallon on the highway.

The second engine option came standard within the Kia Sorento EX trim. This engine was a 3.8 liter six cylinder engine that produced 262 horsepower.

The Sorento EX gets and EPA estimated 15 miles per gallon in the city and 21 miles per gallon on the highway.
