Kia Sorento
The midsize SUV segment is the battlefield in a merciless war among automakers. And the Kia Sorento, brand new this year, has what it takes to take on its rivals. There are two 4-cylinder engines – one a 2.4-litre and the other a 2.0-litre turbo – and a 3.3-litre V6 that can tow up to 5,000 pounds (2,268 kilos). The basic versions feature front-wheel drive, but all-wheel drive is available on option.
