2016 Kia Sorento vs 2015 Kia Sorento
Serving St. Petersburg, Tampa, and Largo
Since its first introduction to U.S. drivers, the Kia Sorento has quickly become a major player in the mid-size SUV market, a position this amazing vehicle rightly deserves. The 2016 Kia Sorento offers buyers in and around St. Petersburg , Tampa and Largo available three row seating, a wealth of standard equipment, and one of the longest warranties in the industry. For the 2016 model year Kia has redesigned the Sorento in order to continue its domination of the mid-size SUV class. Let's take a look at the differences between the 2015 and 2016 Kia Sorento.
On the Outside
While there have been a number of changes made to the 2016 Kia Sorento, you aren't likely to find many of them on the outside. In fact Kia has made very few changes to what is already a highly successful look. However, there are a number of changes you will see including corners that are slightly more rounded, a new rear end design that features upgraded taillights, and a bigger grille. Along with this you will find all new wheels on the 2016 model and some models feature the new four light driving lights.
On the Inside
When you slide into the driver's seat, you will be able to see the amount of effort Kia has put into overhauling the interior of the 2016 Kia Sorento. This year's model features an all-new dashboard design, a hot new infotainment system, a fun new steering wheel, and a fresh new gauge cluster. You will also find the center console offers more space and a new set of easier to use controls. Along with new interior materials, you will find there is more room in the new Sorento, especially for those who find themselves in the third row of seating.
Under the Hood
While the average mid-size SUV offers buyers in and around Clearwater, Tampa, Largo, St. Petersburg, and Palm Harbor, FL a choice of one or two engines, the 2016 Kia Sorento buyers a total of three different engines to choose from. Start with the powerful, yet fuel efficient base model 2.4 liter inline four cylinder engine that pumps out 185 hp and manages 29 mpg out on the highway. While less horsepower than last years, overall fuel economy is up from 26 mpg on the highway.
If this is not enough for you, consider the all-new 240 hp 2.0 liter turbocharged four cylinder engine. This stouthearted four cylinder manages an impressive 29 mpg on the highway and an equally impressive 20 mpg in the city. Finally, you can opt for the 3.3 liter V6 found in the 2015 Kia Sorento that still gets 25 mpg on the highway and produces a healthy 290 horsepower. All of the different power plants come connected to a six speed automatic transmission in both the 2015 and 2016 models.
Technology
