The Kia Sorento is a Compact Crossover SUV produced by the South Korean automaker Kia Motors. The 2007 Sorento has received upgrades, such as the transition from the 3.5L Sigma to the 3.8L Lambda that will almost double the Sorento's towing ability and boost Horsepower from 192 to 262. Projector beams were added in the head lamps, along with new tail lamps. The 5 speed manual transmission is no longer available; the 5 speed Sportmatic tip-tronic automatic transmission is standard for all trims. The 2007 Kia Sorento earned a five-star crash safety rating, the highest rating possible, for all seating positions in the latest frontal and side impact crash tests conducted by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The Sorento will be redesigned in 2010, and its platform will be shared with the Hyundai Santa Fe and Veracruz mid-size crossover SUVs. It will abandon its ladder frame construction for a monocoque chassis.
