Kia Sorento
Able to seat five or seven passengers depending on the version chosen, the basic Sorento is equipped with front-wheel drive, but all-wheel drive is obviously available. As for the engine, there's the choice of a 185-horsepower 2.4-litre four-cylinder or a 290-horsepower 3.3-litre V6. We also like its smart cruise control, rear cross traffic alert and dynamic adaptive headlights.
