2012-2015 Kia Sorento
Mid-size Crossover
This crossover combines good on-road feel with an optional third row of seating (taking capacity from five to seven people.) Its appeal is enhanced by a low base price and one of the best new car warranties in its class at five-years/60,000 miles full coverage (ten years/100,000 miles powertrain). This is likely why Consumer Reports recommends this Sorrento. All-wheel drive is available.
