The 2007 Kia Sorento competes in a very crowded neighborhood. The "cute-utes" include established players such as the Honda CR-V, Toyota's RAV4, the Ford Escape, the Subaru Forester, and the Hyundai Santa Fe. While most of vehicles in this segment have four-cylinder engines, the Sorento brings a hefty 3.8L V6 to the party. This modern motor has four valves per cylinder and double overhead cams. It makes a very healthy 262-hoprsepower and 260-lb-ft of torque. Not only has the power increased over 2006, but fuel economy has also improved.
