The Sorento Is An Orlando Kia Fan Favorite

Available in six well-equipped trims, Longwood Kia has a Sorento to suite everyone and any need. With multiple engine and transmission options shoppers can opt for the more efficient 4-cylinder engine or the more powerful V6. A 6-speed manual transmission is standard in the Base model but all of the other trims feature an Electronically Controlled 6-speed Automatic transmission featuring Overdrive with Sportmatic. The Sorento also boasts a respectable fuel efficiency averaging about 21mpg in the city and 29mpg on the highway.

Offering more than just style and performance, the 2011 Sorento is also an IIHS “Top Safety Pick”. Providing protection, prevention, and best of all, peace of mind its no wonder the Sorento is an Orlando Kia fan-favorite. Four-wheel antilock brakes (ABS), which Kia calls “the foundation of an active safety system,” offer added control on wet or slippery roads. Electronic Stability Control (ESC), yet another feature keeping Kia owners safe, helps maintain control of the vehicle under less-than-ideal driving conditions.

From its exterior to its interior, the 2011 Sorento has numerous features in place meant to minimize damage and reduce injuries when accidents are unavoidable. First, Side Impact Door Beams and reinforced A and B pillars work to absorb energy from a crash and deflect side-impact force. Dual front airbags and seat-mounted side airbags protect the driver and front passenger, while side curtain airbags offer protection to passengers in both the front and second rows. An Advanced Airbag System takes into account the severity of an impact, the presence of a front passenger and seatbelt use to properly inflate airbags.
